As for Miller and Everett, they might have thrown for more yards, but it was their decision-making that hurt them most. They would have been Jay Cutlers. I am sure there would be a nice list of players that could have been franchise QB's today.............but the pool of available talent has been opened up by the opening up of the passing game. A guy like Kyler Murray.....a legit high first round pick in MLB.......he takes that multi-million $ baseball contract 12 years ago. Patrick Mahomes is probably steered into MLB as well. There was no way a guy like Charlie Ward was turning down easy back-of-round-1 NBA money back in the mid-90's to earn his stripes at QB in that NFL.......in today's dollars he made the equivalent of $50M in his 11 year NBA career............but nowadays with all the advantages that athletic QB's have it would have been a no brainer to go NFL and be great and potentially earn 5-10 times that instead of just a be decent NBA player. The passer freedom and earnings potential has just opened up the game to a much broader group of players so the pool of talent isn't as limited as it was 15 years ago.

He almost bombed out of the league his first year and made the Pro Bowl in year 2. The list of huge one year jumps for QB's is long.........they used to call it "the light coming on". Unless it's just limited to Bills QB's I wouldn't even put Allen in that category...........he's made big strides but he was one of the more accurate short to intermediate passers last season and stopped turning the ball over mid-season 2019 etc.......yeah he freaked out in the second NE game and missed some layups and later in the second half of the wildcard game............but he was a good QB on a very positive trajectory and had some fantastic games last year.

It was comical. what does THAT really have to do with the OP? but since you mentioned it - Tannehill's problem.... Tannehill is a good QB. He just had bad coaches.
