We needed someone to complement AJ Brown, and with the uncertainty of how Reynolds will play, this did the trick.  There was a lot of noise on Twitter after the signing like "well, Tannehill is still the QB".  I don't understand the disrespect.  He wasn't great in Miami, but he's easily been a top 10 QB the past 2 years.  I don't think he's super elite, but his numbers last year were actually better than Mahomes.

Tannehill is a game manager at best that relies on Henry to keep defenses honest... which he does - he has single and sometimes zero coverage on most of his throws.

Mahomes is a game BREAKER.

Please don't conflate the two.

Re-read what I posted.  I clearly said he's not super elite (which Mahomes is).  The point was he's been very productive and shouldn't be shrugged off as a bottom tier QB.

They have a new OC, no idea if the new guy is going to be as run heavy or not, or if it's just going to be the same system with a new guy calling the plays. If they want to throw a second at a guy in the twilight of his career, let em. If they want to overpay a middling QB, let em.

I don't see this move giving them any better shot at a Championship, honestly.

I still think KC and Buffalo are the best in the AFC but this clearly puts the tacks closer to them than they were before. They're adding a top 5 WR of all time with juice still in the tank.

They are going to be really hard to defend. I think what may hold them back is having a new OC who (in his first year) has to find a way to get his 3 studs the rock.

Agree 100%.  KC and Buffalo are at the top of the pack.  Definitely nervous about the new OC.  We will see how much of their solid offense the past couple of years was due to Smith and how much is talent.  Regression is certainly a possibility.
