The Miami Dolphins and Ryan Tannehill have been at the center of a lot of fan talk and many want to know if when it will be over.

Four, that’s the number, four. The amount of games Ryan Tannehill has missed for the Miami Dolphins due to his shoulder injury. He missed the playoffs in 2016, he missed all season last year, and he’s missing four pivotal games that count for the playoffs.

Tannehill’s a liability. He’s as injury prone as DeVante Parker, and as tradable too. The Miami front office needs to meet, and decide to release Tannehill as soon as possible.

Brock Osweiler has played admirably for Miami so far. Yet, he is not a starting quarterback.
Neither was Matt Moore, he showed that last year after Jay Cutler got hurt.
There aren’t a plethora of quarterbacks coming out of the draft like last year, but that might be good for the next QB in Miami.

One that sticks out is Will Greir. Greir is a Heisman candidate, and the most pro ready QB in this year’s draft coming up. Grier is 154/219, 2,227 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions in 2018.

Another quarterback people have talked about is Jarrett Stidham out of Auburn. He now is 142/235, 1714 passing yards, 8 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Even though the record isn’t that great at 5-3 in Auburn, this is the same quarterback that beat a number one ranked Georgia and Alabama in the same year in 2017.

Last, but certainly not least would have to be McKenzie Milton. Milton hasn’t lost a game in 21 straight games. This included a win over the same Auburn that beat Georgia and Alabama when they were both number one.

The downside Miami might not lose enough games to be a top draft pick to get Greir or the rest of these quarterbacks. As always they will probably be 8-8 and fall somewhere in the middle. Unless they can trade up, and get Grier they will have to settle for Tannehill, and the Mediocrity continues.

Insanity doing something over and over again expecting different results. That’s what the Dolphins are right now insane. Until they figure that out, get ready for being annually average.
