They do. He came over from the Eagles, although he only had that one-year relationship with Chip Kelly. Before that, he worked for the Virginia Cavaliers.

It's possible they should just clear out that entire franchise.

JMHO, but Philbin and Lazor don't seem to be on the same page. Never been a Philbin fan. I wish Ross would work a little harder to bring in a winner. They are a storied franchise and deserve it. I also think Tannehill is going to waste away on that team. Give him something to work with and I think he'd be fine.

Depends what you mean by future.

If Palmer gets healthy and plays most of the season, the most likely scenario is that he's still our QB for the next 3-5 years.

Tannehill was sacked more than any QB in the NFL last year. It's possible that he's suffered the same fate as Patrick Ramsey and David Carr before him: Battered Quarterback Syndrome.

Last year's situation where Palmer started 16 games was a historic anomaly.

If Stanton was the "QBOF" and BA loved him as a starter he would not have wanted Carson Palmer. Remember, the second Palmer was traded for BA anointed him the starter. Stanton is a good backup and I understand some are gaga over him now but it is too soon for me to say he should/could replace a healthy Palmer as the starter. That is silly talk IMO.

LT is so raw it is hard to see him as the "QBOF" either. He is very inaccurate, which is hard to overcome in the NFL. But, if this coaching staff can't help him then he isn't long for the league anyway. I doubt his ability to "learn" accuracy, it just doesn't happen that often.

The "franchise" QB this team has long searched for isn't here yet IMO.

Stanton is a very good #2 but that's it let's not get carried away here. That's not a knock on him at all by the way.

Buy i agree with the post above

I haven't watched any Dolphins games, but what I've heard from the Grantland folks and others is that his receiving corps is an utter mess--unaware of where they're supposed to be going and dropping passes all over the place.

Watch Dolphin games.

He has no pocket awareness, holds the ball too long, and can't push the ball at the 15-20 yd level which is what elite QBs make their living. He is check down Charlie.

I have Dolphin season tickets and I told everyone he would be a bust from Day 1 and I've been validated thus far. People would make the comment "oh he's only played QB for 2 yrs - hell grow!" Which is asinine. This is one of the most complex jobs in the world. Can you Imagine saying this "rocket scientist sucks but he's only been doing it 2 yrs so no worries!" I believe in 10,000 hours

Either he is gone next yr or Philbin is fired and some HC (Harbaugh?) says they can coach him up and he gets a year....and then is cut. Dude just doesn't have the goods.

Ryan Tannehill when we trade our 2015 first round pick (#30 overall) to the Dolphins for him and Dion Jordan.


that's an awful trade. Tannehill is mediocre and Jordan can't get on the field due to injuries, suspensions, and sucky play.

I'd rather have the 30th pick.
