No1TitansFan Posted October 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) It's all about putting your best players in position to make plays, including RT; and Arthur is doing a hell of a good job of it in often somewhat unconventional ways. The MVP comment in the title was intended to be hyperbolic. Edited October 21, 2020 by No1TitansFan Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBs matter a lot. OCs matter a lot. Scheme matters a ton. Scheme fit matters the most. No. I said IN THE END. I didn't say it was all them. RT was asked to do too much in Miami because of marginal talent around him. They wanted him to be Aaron Rodgers. If his talent was up to the task like a Rodgers he could likely handle it. Instead, RT needs a run-first, PA offense that takes the pressure off. Every QB can have success in this offense. In fact, if you can't have some kind of marginal, game-manager success in this kind of offense you shouldn't be a starter. However, when it comes to making this offense sing like it has, it lies with him. Our offense doesn't ask our QB to do the heavy lifting, but it does give plenty of opportunities to shine if you have the talent. And as the QB gets used to it, you start letting him do more. Which is happening now. A previous QB we had here couldn't even survive despite that. THATS HOW BAD HE WAS.

Well he threw the ball 10 times on the final drive... obviously your not running playaction in 2 min offense. Out of 30 remaining passes 15 were playaction...Titans ran a heavy playaction offense vs the Texans Which makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat good teams if DH goes down... etc. BudsOilers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is happening now. A previous QB we had here couldn't even survive despite that. THATS HOW BAD HE WAS. RT failed in Miami largely due to horrid OL play, which allowed defenses to exploit his weakness - passing under duress. The Titans OL, for the most part, is good at pass protection whether it's with or without play action. Play action is not used to protect the QB. Play action is used formationally to get one on one matchups for explosive pass plays down the field. Tannehill is a very accurate passer with upper tier arm strength when he has time to throw. That didn't magically appear and would succeed in any scheme per se provided the pass protection is good. 5 minutes ago, titanruss said: I agree with all of this.

A Mariota homer tempering praise on Tannehill and clinging to scheme fit and OC's......We all know why you don't want to credit how good Tannehill and make no mistake - he's been ELITE since taking over for dumb dumb. Thankfully, your opinion is as completely worthless as Scine's on this subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last year, he's had similar or slightly better numbers than Mahomes. Mythos27, and smokeater 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishTitansFan Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 1 hour ago, BudAdams said: The most reasonable explanation for RT being great here and not in Miami is that the Dolphins OL/pass protection consistently was at the bottom of the NFL whereas the Titans have a good OL. Anyone watching Tannehill knows that his one big weakness, as with many QB's, is when he's under duress. Dolphin pass protection rankings from PFF: 2013 - 21st, 2014 - 32nd, 2015 - 31st, 2016 - 30th, 2018 - 27th The Titans pass protection rankings: 8th in 2019, 2nd in 2020. I think its this, much better coaching and the fact that he definitely upped his game overall. For example, Tanny in Miami was a bad deep ball thrower. He's close to elite here in that area. He is also a little better at getting the ball out quicker I was waiting for this season to say it, but he's obviously a top 5 QB at this point, it isn't really a debate IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClown Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Great video of the throws vs Texans break down. The guy goes on about the offensive play calling and credits Smith alot. If you have time in your hands I'd suggest you watch the whole video.

I think it's a huge reason why he's been consistently great here. If you pressure him in the pocket, it goes downhill for him quick but the same applies to pretty much every QB outside of Wilson or Mahomes. He's deadly accurate when he has time to read the field and make the throws. That didn't just happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I define top 5 differently. I define that as being successful in any offense and I dont think RT is that guy .. yet. So what could he do? Create on his own more for one. Better pocket awareness (though that does look better this season) I'd like to see his ratings after his 1st read be above 30th in the league. That last one may be fixed already but last year it was RT hitting the first read in Arthur Smith playcalls and after that PFF had him like 32nd/33rd Don't get me wrong. I think hes been great and is a perfect fit for this offense and his numbers are pretty damn close to top 5. BudsOilers, and oldschool 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hes been great and is a perfect fit for this offense and his numbers are pretty damn close to top 5. Two weeks in a row he’s made good plays buying time scrambling and finding his WRs downfield. In my mind that was one of his weaknesses and something the fins fans mentioned several times. If he can add that to his arsenal then he is going to be almost impossible to stop. He’s entrenched himself as a top 5 QB, but he can move up the ladder to top 3 if he can keep developing his scramble drill. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the coaching has helped him take an extra jump as a QB too. I think regardless of the talent around him he's developed into a much better QB than he was in Miami Edited October 21, 2020 by IrishTitansFan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
