Did you mean keep him as your starter "moving forward", as in... multiple years??? Or just for the rest of this season? He clearly should be the starter for the rest of the season regardless of how he plays. I imagine Mariota will get some playtime due to injury.

If you meant contract extension, then nothing. There is nothing he could do to make me want to sign him to a stupid $$ deal like Foles or Cousins. If he pulls off a Dilfer-esque Super Bowl, then tag him for one year and let him mentor whomever we draft.

What will probably happen is he plays good enough to keep his career alive. We sign him to a Kerry Collins/ Hesselbeck situation, where he starts 2020 and we keep him a solid backup for a few more years.

Tannehill is not the answer, he is just light years better than Mariota.
We absolutely need to draft a QB for the future. In the meantime if we can get Tannehill on a 3 year deal for under 12mil a year, I would sign him for 3 years, go draft a qb and start grooming our future qb while Tannehill carries us along.

If he hits his escalators, which is far more likely now, he’ll get $12 million this year. He is going to want to be paid and he’s going to want something long term, in my opinion.

Then we let him go. I am not saying he WILL sign for that, I said if he is willing to sign for that. If he wants more, we move on. We can't tie up all of our money on Tannehill AND a 1st round draft pick qb. That would be too much in one position.
 
Watching all these young QB’s around the league have some success makes me think maybe we don’t need to invest that much into QB. Three straight top 10 picks into QB and what have we got out of it? Maybe these teams just got lucky. But I know we could build a better team around a QB if we’re not investing huge contracts and high draft picks into QB. I’m probably just talking out of my ass, but more and more, I’m leaning toward rolling the dice on a young player and invest in the lines. So put me down for a no.

Then stick with the proven commodity in tanny or risk getting another mariota/locker/young
 
If Tanny continues to play at a similar level to Sunday's game, we have to try our best to extend him. I hate the thought of paying him $25million a year, but there really isn't a better option out there. If he continues to play well, the team will win and we will end up with a draft pick in the 20ish range, maybe higher if he plays really well. I'd hate to let Tanny walk and try to find a rookie to step right in with that low of a draft pick. The hope is that Tanny gives us the flexibility to draft BPA and not draft a QB just cause we have to have one (see Young, Locker, and Mariota).

The nice thing is that we'll get quite a few games to see if Tanny can be consistent and stay healthy.

Ideally, Tanny plays well and earns a nice contract to stay. The Titans then would enter the draft with much more flexibility in drafting a QB in the second or third-round they can bring along as the #2 instead of having to draft a QB in the first.

I was already on the “keep THill” idea.

I mentioned it in another thread, keep THill as the vet for a rookie next season to sit behind. If he makes it the full year, great. The rookie got an entire year of learning.
If he only makes it a few weeks, great. Hopefully the rookie is ready to go.

Either way, provided his agent doesn’t aim for unrealistic goals, THill should get a very manageable 3 yea contract to continue as the vet starter/mentor backup for whichever rookie we get.

No matter what, move on from MM.

Rookies don’t sit anymore and Tanne wants to play.

He is a starter and deserves to be paid like it

If that’s his route, then I guess we’ll be riding the rookie’s hand with whatever crappy bet is available.
If he’s willing to work a 3 year maybe 45 mil with 10-15 guaranteed, I’d try to work that.
He’s gonna have value and with my suggestion, he’s starter next year at least.

There’s like 3 QBs around the league that immediately came in and will be successful long term.
If that’s what the league is going to, I expect them to get treated like RB very soon. You get til about 30 then replaced by some other new rookie.

There was a guy who came in and was immediately successful. 3 4K yard seasons his first four years. 30 td seasons. That guy...RYAN TANNEHILL

So you’re all in on him just being the immediate future.
I suppose that leaves the first round available to upgrade G or C but I think you’ll stand largely only on this stance. Good for you though, stick to your guns.

Build the d first. Line second and third. Bring in whoever San Francisco gets rid of (mullens, beathard) call it a day
 
I only read the first and last pages of this thread, so sorry if this has already been said.

But yesterday was basically as good as its gonna get with Tannehill. Yes, he was good, im not saying he wasnt, but a heap of stats have come out in the last 24 hours that prove that yesterday was in the top 10 percentile of his career performances.

Its not always going to be that good. Lets pump the breaks a little in terms of talk of a 4 year deal etc.
 
I don’t think many people realize that our window is now.

I don’t want to roll with a rookie and our defense take a dive in the next 2-3 years.

If Ryan plays even half that good going forward, we could do good things. Let’s finish the season and go from there. No one is giving this guy a contract based on one game.

Stupid ass thread.
