The Miami Dolphins haven’t had consistency under center since Hall-of-Fame quarterback Dan Marino decided to hang up his cleats at the end of the 1999 season.
Since then, the Dolphins have failed at finding a quarterback who can carry a team on his shoulders the same way Marino did for 17 years.
Now, the Dolphins fear that quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the team’s 2012 first-round draft choice, is destined to become yet another failed experiment at the position that has haunted the organization for almost two decades.
After a successful 2014 campaign in which Tannehill completed over 66 percent of his throws for 4,045 yards, 27 TDs and 12 interceptions, the Dolphins rewarded him with a 6-year, $96 million contract during the offseason.
