Looks like Tennessee is benching Mariota for Tannehill.

regarding Mariota...sometimes the scouts get it right.

one knock against him before the draft was that he threw to wide open receivers at Oregon...because the scheme got them open (against awful Pac-12 defenses).

and sure enough in the NFL he could not / cannot see the field...and forget about throwing into tight windows

You may want to wait before you break out the Marriota scouting reports. Tannehill has to QB for the Titans now. It is a step above the Dolphins but a small one.

I agree, but after having half a second protection in Miami, getting a whole second to throw the ball might make the job easy for Tannehill.

Well at least he's getting a a soft start. The Chargers just got beat down by Pittsburg being run by a qb off their practice squad.

Maybe he should just go back to being a WR.

I mean that is what he was studying to be an Orthopedic Surgeon before being drafted into the NFL, I'd imagine he would continue his education during the long off-seasons he had when he was in Miami.

Yeah, seems like Sherman and the defense would be more to blame for blowing big leads than the QB who got you those leads in the first place.

It doesn't work like that. You don't get to become a surgeon on a part time schedule.

He would have to get into med school which means four years of working your tail off plus who knows how many years of residency and after residency training. Why sacrifice 10+ years of your life to make less than the interest he will make off of his NFL money?

Don't try to use logic with trolls.

As a former big Dolphin fan, you can bet there are a lot of folks who wish he was still there. Dolphin ownership are a bunch of fools.

You mean working crazy stressful hours to make maybe in a year what he makes in a single game as a backup qb? Yea sure

Haha. As a surgeon that spent 12 years after college making nothing or less than 40K a year before finally finishing training. Doubtful. He'd be the dumbest person ever to do something like that.

Not to mention that her have to study for a couple of years to take the MCAT to even have a chance to get into school.

I doubt he will do it but it would be really impressive if he followed through with the training. According to Forbes he finished with a Biology degree and if he took the mcat back then I'm guessing he could apply with that score. If not I'm sure he could study for 6 months or less and take it then do the four year grind then 5ish years of residency training.

I will be very surprised if he did it.

My googling led me to a pretty interesting slide show about this https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/pro-athlete-doctors-6010071#5

One of the chiefs lineman just finished his MD during off seasons. A Titans safety Myron Rolle completed neurosurgery at Harvard. Crazy gifted people!

This thread has been up for over 24 hours and no Lauren Tannehill pics. New Army is killing the zoo.

I don't think he'd have to study a couple years for the MCAT. Tannehill is wicked smart. I'd had several classes with him. That dude walked of biochem with one of the highest grades while missing classes because of football.

Yeah. Issue is that you'd have to relearn all that stuff. Maybe 2 yrs is exaggeration but would most likely have to relearn chem/biochem/physics/etc. would be tough.

Point is, would be a 9-10 yr ordeal and if helping people is really your goal, much easier to help people in other ways. Foundations. Donations. Etc.

My guess is that kip doesn't have a net worth of over 40mill. I hope he does...
