Tannehill may not be belittling teammate's paychecks, but he did admit to ripping the players on the scout squad, according to James Walker of ESPN. Not your finest moment, Ryan. While the off-field drama is one thing, the fact that the Miami Dolphins have now fired Joe Philbin puts Tannehill in an interesting situation. He may not be impacted much by the move, but the question is, can it help him at all?
Regardless, the last two weeks specifically have been majorly concerning when it comes to Tannehill, due to the turnovers, completion percentage and miserable quarterback rating. In two losses to the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, he led the Dolphins offense to just 14 points in each game, and two of his four touchdown passes over that span came in the fourth quarter when the games were already out of reach.
That's concerning, to say the least. Tannehill completed 53.1 percent of his passes against Buffalo and 43.2 percent of his passes against Miami, while throwing four touchdowns against five interceptions. To top it all off, he's posted an average QB rating of 56.35. Tannehill is trending down, and it's getting very concerning.
