If you're just going to use raw numbers like you did, then yeah, he did.

A higher YPA, 1 TD to 0 for Mariota, a higher passer rating. Mariota had him bested in completion %. That was literally it.

He completed 4 less passes on 4 less attempts, dude, and played longer than Mariota in the game. Mariota didn’t have a TD pass because Mariota got them down to the goal line for Henry to run it in. Not to mention the 3 passes Gabbert threw that should’ve been picked. I was using those stats to dispute the claim by abc that Mariota had a bad game before he left with the injury. I wasn’t using them to show that Mariota was better. They were pretty even, but the offense was moving the ball pretty well before Gabbert got in there (WAS won TOP because our defense couldn’t keep Josh Johnson off the field.) Gabbert was shut out until the end of the game.

That's fine.

I showed you how Gabbert's numbers were better.

Isn't is safe to assume, by the precedent set by you, that Gabbert then played better?
 
Yeah, this is the part a lot of people are missing.

We could very well get a comp pick that is just as good as what we have up to get Tannehill.

Between Miami paying 5mil of his 7mil salary, cutting Gabby and saving 1.5mil, and potentially getting a comp pick ... we very well could be getting him virtually free.

Is that true? Wouldn't Tannehill have to actually perform well to count towards the comp picks? If he rides the pine all season, then we let him walk, I don't think we get anything.

You are nitpicking in order to prove that our starting #2 overall QB is better than a career mediocre/average backup. It's sad, and it's exactly why he needs competition.

Not exactly. Comp picks are first based on how many free agents you pick up versus lose...but not all free agents are the same.

There is a 'secret' formula for determining the worth of the player. It is based on his new contract (signed with new team after he leaves your team) but also on playing time and post season play. No one really knows what the exact formula is but if he rides the pine the whole season but then signs a big contract...we could get a comp pick.

No.

If you actually think Gabbert and Mariota are comparable, you probably have an extra chromosome.

Oh, and you’re accusing me of “nitpicking”. That’s rich.

Tannehil has been a 'career mediocre/average backup???'

He's been a fulltime starter for 6 years and has only missed games due to injury I believe. So you're calling full time starters career backups now?

Interesting.

A higher YPA, 1 TD to 0 for Mariota, a higher passer rating. Mariota had him bested in completion %. That was literally it.

Wait are you going by completed passes or including non completed passes? Mary fairies been trying to make it norm to include non completed passes just checking to see what everyone else uses

Right. So it seems unlikely. Even if he comes in and plays a few games, no one is going to give him a big contract. Unless we make the playoffs and he makes a Nick Foles-esk run.

Literally not quite. MM literally had more yards and a much higher completion %. They both played well...stats-wise. But that's not the point. That was by far Gabbert's BEST game of the season out of the 6 he played. It was probably Mariota's 5th best game.

MM has a much higher ceiling and a higher floor than Gabbert and he's much more consistent. BUT...MM needs to be much more consistent on a game in game out basis himself to remain being a starting QB or he will turn into a backup QB.

Consistency and durability are his problems and we'll see if he can fix them or he'll be moving on.

Well...lots of possibilities. Even though Foles has had two good playoff runs and 1 magical SB, his career stats are not in line with the way overblown contract he just got. Same thing with Cousins last year. Get a desperate team and a little bit of impressive playing time from Tanny and who knows.
