At that point, you just end the game with Henry. Some of you posters need to learn what is more important: passing efficiency over volume. Lamar is a better athlete - that’s for sure. As a passer, Tannehill is way better. I never said any of that isn't true. But the Baltimore playoff game is not one to use when trying to defend Tannehill.

I'm not saying Tannehill had a bad game that night but let's be honest, he had to do very little to help the Titans win. How many passes did he attempt in the 2nd half while Vrabel ran out the clock?

He was 1-4 with 1 dropped TD pass. Also had a running TD in the 2nd half. 109.6 passer rating and 3 TD's in a blowout win.

Point is that it plays into the narrative that he's a game manager and nothing more. There's a lot of things to defend Tannehill on. His playoff performances unfortunately are not among them. oldschool, Jamalisms, and Thrill 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better at avoiding TO's. The only advantage Lamar has had in passing stats is TD%. This all plays out in 4 year comparisons, 3 years, 2 years, and last year.... Lamar is the better runner even though Tannehill actually has more rushing TD's in these YTY comparisons aside from last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it underrated him to call him a good player who is somewhere in the middle of the pack of QBs that can keep you in contention but won't elevate his team if other pieces aren't clicking?

He threw 4 passes in the entire 2nd half while Henry got 16 carries. You think they did that because they didn't trust Tannehill? its Vrabel to a tee. Like @BudsOilers stated, Tannehill was 6/10 in the first half with 2 passing TDs and ran for another in the 2nd half. That game is not one to use if you want to claim Tannehill can't get it done in the playoffs. rns90, and Thrill 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only stat area you can truly measure out of those you listed is YPA. The rest are subjective. I am no Lamar fan. But to declare Tannehill is some superior QB is just plain nut hugging.

No, I think merely that they did that and it rendered his contribution way down. He was about as close to a bystander as a QB could ever be in the playoffs and it's probably a good idea not to conflate playing poorly with being asked to do - and therefore adding - very little.

Lamar never did that. BudsOilers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Yeah if you give Tannehill the absolute worst OL in football and the worst WR group in terms of separation, he's not your guy! Of course, name a QB who does well with that.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
