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.

What stat are you tack homers cherry picking to arrive at this "better numbers than Mahomes" thing? 

2020 - Patrick Mahomes II - 66.3% comp  - 4740 yds  - 38 TDs  - 6 INT

2020  - Ryan Tannehill -  65.5% comp  -  3819 yds  - 33 TDs  -  7  INT

Those are great numbers from Tannehill, especially given his work in Miami, but they aren't better than Mahomes.
