    On Friday, Mike Lombardi, a former general manager for the Cleveland Browns and special assistant for the New England Patriots, was a guest on "The Bill Simmons Podcast" and spoke about the status of Tannehill.

    Bill Simmons asked Lombardi if NFL teams that need a quarterback should take a gamble and trade for Tannehill if the Dolphins give up on him. Lombardi had a brutally honest response, noting that teams should not trade for Tannehill at any cost because he doesn't solve the problem.

    Bill Simmons: Let's say you are one of the eight teams that needs a quarterback. Let's say you're running the Bears — [Jay] Cutler's out of the year or whatever — and Miami calls you and says 'We want to dump Tannehill. Third-round pick. You can have him right now." And the salary-cap stuff isn't that bad. Would you roll the dice on Tannehill for a third-round pick?

    Mike Lombardi: No, because here is my rule as a GM ... My rule is this: I never want to trade for a player or sign a player and the next day say 'We really need to get a better player.' I never want to do that. I don't want to sign a guard and the next day say, 'We really need a guard.' That's not the business we are in. We're in the solve-the-problem [business]. Now, we have to be tactical and I understand the whole theory of getting a little bit better at first ... The reality of it is, when I trade for Ryan Tannehill, I still need a quarterback, so why would I? Regardless of the price. The price doesn't matter.

    The Dolphins are going to be at a crossroads with Tannehill after the season and trading him may be the best solution. But if Lombardi is right, the Dolphins may be stuck with Tannehill.

    I feel kinda conflicted reading that article. I considered Tannehill to be a pretty average QB at best and wouldn't trade for him, it's also hard to take QB evaluation seriously from any former Cleveland Browns GM. I know Lombardi is a "consultant" to the Pats, but it's kinda one of those opposites thing. When the Pats are evaluating a player they ask if he would draft or trade for the player and do the opposite of what Lombardi advises.

    I don't know about a 3rd, but for a team like the Cards, a 4th or 5th might make sense to have Tannehill as a solid backup QB.

    He's also had Mike Wallace, Brandon Marshall, Brian Hartline, and Reggie Bush to throw the ball to, and he still sucked. It's one of life's great mysteries why the braintrust in Miami doesn't realize this guy is garbage, and that the problem is him and not the rest of the team. Can't believe they keep giving him chance after chance to not suck while they continuously cycle talented players around him. They should have parted ways and gone with Matt Moore until a franchise QB came along, instead of giving him that ridiculous contract extension.
