Allen’s contract already scares me If Allen leads us to a playoff victory, the new CBA with a 17 game season will get him $40 million per year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I don’t think Tannehill is a “bad” QB and I think the Titans were in a tough spot. But I think he’s a game manager type. Edited March 15, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sceptical that is can but if they believe it then they have a 2 year window. Agreed on both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 1 minute ago, GunnerBill said: And I just think he is a class above the other guys. I put Ryan in the "how the hell didn't he win one?" category that Philip Rivers belongs in. He is a better Quarterback than Flacco, Stafford and Carr and Tannehill isn't even in the same ball park as Ryan. Same reason Garappalo doesn't have one. Kyle Shanahan refuses to run the ball to close out the Superbowl. I agree with you though that he's a step above the players I listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The only positive of this deal for Tennessee is that they can get out of this deal in a couple years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Lol. This contract is insane. Tannehill is not that good. He had some moxie last season but he will never lead them to a championship especially eating up that much cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good but not great starting quarterbacks that keep your team from taking that next step because they need talent around them on both sides of the ball in order to win a Superbowl. Their salary prohibits the team from acquiring that talent. This was a bad move for the Titans. Especially given last year may have been the exception and not the norm as far as Tannehill is concerned. Matt Ryan good not great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Tannehill is definitely not worth that contract. But now it’s Tennessee’s problem, did they not watch him during his tenure in Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 That is an amazing contract for a guy who went 36-60 for 369 yards in 3 playoff games. That's roughly a 60% pass completion and an average of 123 yards per game. That's FRANCHISE QB CALIBER BOYS!!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
