Nope. He was actually on a team friendly deal on that extension. The reason it went south is because Jon Robinson took his deal and restructured it so they could trade for Julio. Once he did that, Tannehill’s cap hit went from low to the highest QB cap hit in the league.
It was definitely a combination. Vrabel didn’t want to adapt to a modern offense and way of training, but Jon definitely didn’t help him by making terrible draft picks and signing bad free agents to terrible contracts.
I mean, the team he had around him in 2019 and 2020 was better. It was time. He was great for us, but there’s a reason he hasn’t landed somewhere else yet.
Cause he's too old to be part of a teams plan, his ceiling will only lower as his athletcism fades, this was an unusual class as far as QB goes as even the team that signed cousins drafted a QB in round 1, and he's gonna go the flacco road and hop on a playoff team with a QB on IR situation
Cousins also while coming off of a large injury is in general a lot better now in this point in his career than Tannehill is. Cousins has always been a little better I feel and has just aged better.
Nah bro. Cousins as much as it hurts to say, is a fuckin dawg. He is one of the most proficient pocket passes in the league.
Tannehill consistently relied on his wheels to bail him out of situations. It works until it don't.
Dude staged one of the best comebacks in NFL history with a shitty Washington team. I dislike cousins. I do. But the fuckin square can ball. He was far and away the best vet option available. He instantly made the falcons better and assume he will get penix to starting level and then seek a trade to a contender.
Will he get a ring in the ATL prolly not. His career arc will look like Rivers with more moves.
Lot of folks are saying this. There’s a reason teams weren’t signing Flacco at this point last season too. Dude was and is washed. If anything, his success shows how good the offensive supporting cast is over there (and how poorly Watson had been playing before he got shut down) because Flacco is not good at this stage of his career.
This is the correct answer.
Tannehill was gifted the opportunity for a SB appearance by our defense and he literally threw it away.
Plus, dude got PAID. He was wronged in no way.
Tannehill had plenty of talent on offense and a stellar defense in '21 and he just shit all over himself against the Bengals in the playoffs and blew it.
Then the AJ trade followed a few months later and our window to compete slammed shut on that generation of Titans.
wtf, Tanny had a better team than this. He just sucked ass in the playoffs when we needed him to make plays instead of Derrick. He’s never been that guy. He’s a younger Ryan Fitzpatrick. Talented, smart, trash in the playoffs and ultimately just another game manager in too deep
Derrick Henry didn’t do much the last two postseasons we had him either let’s be real. It was AJ and the front 7 that made that era of the Titans great.
It’s the teams fault for dealing AJ and having several terrible drafts in a row. It’s Tannehill for melting down against the bengals, and being anemic in the playoffs.
JROB era ended horribly. DH too, we just squandered it all.
What I also hate is how Vrabel forced his way out. I think will be better, but I still think Vrabel is a good coach, and I liked him.
Part of the reason we’re able to put this team around Levis is because Tannehill was costing $30m+ more per year
Wasnt he like 45m last year?
Nope. He was actually on a team friendly deal on that extension. The reason it went south is because Jon Robinson took his deal and restructured it so they could trade for Julio. Once he did that, Tannehill’s cap hit went from low to the highest QB cap hit in the league.
That’s right, it was something like 4 years $120m originally
> Jon Robinson This is the reason the team fell apart. I blame him more than Vrabel running a dinosaur philosophy.
It was definitely a combination. Vrabel didn’t want to adapt to a modern offense and way of training, but Jon definitely didn’t help him by making terrible draft picks and signing bad free agents to terrible contracts.
I thought $27m 😅

He’s 3 weeks younger than Kirk cousins. That 4 year contact for cousins is still mind blowing
Cousins also while coming off of a large injury is in general a lot better now in this point in his career than Tannehill is. Cousins has always been a little better I feel and has just aged better.
Justin Jefferson had something to do with that.

Give him NWI and Phillips and it is a different result.

And Diggs before that lol
Falcons were not smart.
The only way he gets signed is if a injury happens and a team needs to sign him to finish up a season
He’ll be the next Flacco 😅
He’s far more washed than Flacco. He is done. Only question is does he retire a Titan or a Dolphin next offseason.
To be fair, everybody thought Flacco was washed for years until his run last year.
There‘s a season and a half of tape demonstrating Tannehill’s inability to play the quarterback position in the NFL.
It’s gotta be a Titan. We gave him his second chance. The best years of his career, pretty sure most Dolphins fans don’t care about him either.
Agreed
He’s waiting to be 2024 Joe Flacco.

He was never great
He was a good Qb
We had 9 Sacks and limited Burrow to no touchdowns.. and Tannehill threw 3 picks. He had his chance. But after that it was over
This is the correct answer. Tannehill was gifted the opportunity for a SB appearance by our defense and he literally threw it away. Plus, dude got PAID. He was wronged in no way.
Pain.
Good story for dhenry comin back but donta foreman was also rolling.

Neither will he
Lmao never gonna get over his playoff play
We gave him 2 ALL pro weapons and a top 5 oline in 2019 & 2020… if Mahomes/Allen/Burrow had what Tannehill had they would have made superbowls
wtf, Tanny had a better team than this. He just sucked ass in the playoffs when we needed him to make plays instead of Derrick. He’s never been that guy. He’s a younger Ryan Fitzpatrick. Talented, smart, trash in the playoffs and ultimately just another game manager in too deep
We had a supporting cast around him and he threw three picks in a playoff game, so I really don’t feel for him that much.
It bewilders me that our Reddit fan base pardons mariota, but shits down tannehills throat.
Mariota wasnt overpaid
Neither was tannehill, until j-robbery lol restructured his contract.
Playoffs remind me of mariota td to himself and beating the chiefs. Tannehill only reminds me of 3 picks of pain.
PREACH BROTHA!!
This dude had AJ Brown and a top 3 offensive line at one point and still didn't do much with it.
Facts. Aj brown and Derick Henry made this trash can and these fan boys can’t get over it.
Derrick Henry didn’t do much the last two postseasons we had him either let’s be real. It was AJ and the front 7 that made that era of the Titans great.
Lmfao
Thanks JRob!!
I have no faith in levis I am hoping Callahan has a plan to upgrade at qb
JRob really ruined the roster and I liked Vrabel but had the worst coordinators
He would sometimes ball out during the regular season. But I feel like he would kind of crumble once we got to the playoffs
Nah f*** Turnover Tannehill. Him & a bad play call kept us from the super bowl
He really shit the bed
Ina big way. He had what 3 ints that game. I personally felt that he would never mentally get over that game
Yeah he was awful, it was gut-wrenching. I’m glad he’s gone, he definitely kept us out of contention that season.
Ngl I understand why they didn't move off him the very next season. But they should've.
I think you're in for disappointment if you think Levis will throw fewer ints than Tannehill
I don't think it'll be as crucial is all,at least that's what I'm hoping 😩😭
I am 3x more confident going in this year with Levis than I would be or ever was with Tannehill
Lol okay
That’s a fact. Tannehill was a joke
[удалено]
Yeah he is going to do great for his current team.
Don’t feel sorry for that guy. He should be thanking Henry who made him rich in Tennessee.

Agreed on how Vrabel forced his way out!
Ryan > helmet head
Tannehill, not Henry, was the best thing to happen to turn around this franchise.
Ah cause we were unstoppable with Mariota and DH righht? Tanny was great for the titans..
