I don’t know much about Thompson’s profile as a prospect and where he was stronger, but I figure Tannehill’s comfort with an under-center, play action heavy offense can shine through with McDaniel calling plays since he obviously draws a heavy influence from Shanahan. They’d maybe have to cool off with some of the misdirection motion and formation variability in the short term in that situation but I don’t see why it’s not worth a shot
Taking a conservative approach and assuming an extended absence (at minimum) for Tua, do you have any hope at all for Skylar Thompson? Going to assume Tannehill is the best play moving forward for a team that has (or, maybe had) playoff aspirations .
I don't think Tua's absence will be that long, but the scrutiny will be very high, so who knows. I had hope for Thompson as a prospect and he was great in his rookie preseason. Been godawful in real action so that's troubling
