The Phins have been okay and the Bills have been somewhat okay, but it's hard to envision the division having the best overall record. I'd assume if you took the 2nd through 4th teams in each divisions the AFC East would be low. Buffalo's been terrible since 2002, Miami's been one of the worst teams in football in that time and the Jets have been hot and cold. But when you have a team winning 12-14 games seemingly every year the numbers will be good. Even if the Jets/Dolphins/Bills all go 7-9 in a given year, if the Patriots go 14-2 in that same year the division would be over .500. Here's an interesting question. Since Brady took over in NE who's been the 2nd best QB in the division who's been able to have any kind of sustained success? Chad Pennington? The biggest problem with that division has been poor/inconsistent QB play. Edited March 16, 2019 by scine09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Mark Sanchez did reach the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingDeath Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 On the Titans Official Podcast, the crew didn't talk about Tannehill until they were done analyzing the hug an OL received from a former coach. What does that tell you? Speaks v-o-l-u-m-e-s. Titans279 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle021 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Absolutely love this move. The more i think about it the more I love it. Tannehill at 2 million is the best acquisition of the offseason considering the situation and state of the QB position and team. If we let MM go he will net a comp 3 or we tag and trade for an immediate 2 or 3 and go with Tannehill on cheap deal and make a power move for Fromm with all that said... if Stidham is sitting there in round 3 or 4 this year and we got our OL and DL in round 1&2 I would also take Stidham headhunter 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I don’t doubt there is some concern (obviously, since we upgraded the backup position), but JRob has shown an aggressive nature in dealing with players with issues. That injury is probably the worst part about this whole thing. You never TRULY know if he is 100% healthy. They couldn't just get rid of him due to the injury, the option is injury guaranteed and they would owe him the money anyway. I do believe they're still thinking MM can be the guy, just pointing that out. Titans279 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on paper it seems bad and obviously the Patriots have something to do with it but it’s not as bad as it seems. Did you know that since the year 2001 the Patriots have won 11 or more games 15 times and that they haven't won fewer than 11 games since the 2009 season? It's possible the AFC East's record has been embellished just a bit. Edited March 16, 2019 by NashvilleNinja Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Not that surprising, really. Pats have obviously dominated the past two decades. The Marv Levy/Jim Kelly-era Bills were one of the great teams of the 90s and played in four Super Bowls. The Miami Dolphins had only two losing seasons from 1970-2003, which is incredible. begooode 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Former Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has joined this not-so-exclusive club. The remainder of his signing bonus and a can-kicking restructuring bonus already meant that he’d count for $13.423 million this year, if released without a post-June 1 designation. The curious decision of the Dolphins to pay $5 million of his salary in order to get a seventh-round pick and a future fourth-round pick for Tannehill and a sixth-round pick increases the cap charge to a whopping $18.423 million. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/03/16/dolphins-will-carry-more-than-18-million-under-the-salary-cap-for-ryan-tannehill/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that theme, I heard that the Broncos had their first back to back losing seasons since the early 70's. Also incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
