Check this out...Bills RB Karlos Williams talking about his QB, Tyrod Taylor:

On Wednesday, a reporter began a question for Bills running back Karlos Williams with "Do you think Tyrod Taylor is" before Williams cut him off.

"He's the G.O.A.T.," Williams interrupted, according to ESPN.com. "He's the G.O.A.T., in my opinion."

For the uninitiated, G.O.A.T. is a popular acronym that stands for "Greatest Of All-Time". I'd imagine Jerry Rice's people attempt to file a copyright on it in the last 10 years.

"Obviously, Tyrod played at Virginia Tech, and my brother (Steelers linebacker Vince Williams) played at Florida State for a while," Williams continued. "And the first ACC Championship (in 2010) my brother played in, he played against Tyrod. They beat Florida State -- they killed Florida State -- and they went on to play in the Orange Bowl.

"So I've seen him play at a high level. Here, he had a chance to be that leader. He's been that leader, to be able to make plays. He has, what, one of the best (passer ratings) in the NFL? He makes plays when they have to be made. When we had a lot of guys out vs. Tennessee (in Week 5), he took over that game. ... He takes things when they're not supposed to be for him, and that's the kind of thing that you need in the locker room."

Strong words that might indicate that Taylor has the support of the Bills' locker room in a way few passers have since Jim Kelly left town.

That is one of the strongest votes of support I've heard for a QB in a long time. Whether or not Taylor is worthy of that type of praise, it got me thinking: has any Dolphin player ever said anything remotely like that about Tannehill? I've certainly heard some players give him mild praise and even back-handed compliments, but never anything at this level.

We may never know the truth, but I wonder if Dolphin players actually believe in Ryan Tannehill and think he is "the man"???

Not trying to start a Tannehill-flaming thread at all, but that Williams quote really made me think about how Tannehill is viewed by his teammates.

can't say that i can recall a Phins' player ever really going to bat for Tannehill.  perhaps most of them think what Dilfer said...

“I think there’s a generation of quarterbacks, Ryan Tannehill is just one of them, I don’t think football is the most important thing in the world."

"Ryan Tannehill is a top five talent. Now Twitter exploded thinking I said ‘player’ He’s not a top five quarterback. I don’t know if I’d put him in the top 15 quarterbacks. But he’s a top five talent. There’s nothing he can’t do physically, literally nothing, he can’t do physically as a quarterback. And he’s a great kid. He has high character and works hard. But I think there’s a real question: Is it the most important thing in the world? Because if it is he wouldn’t allow the things that go on inside his organization – in his team. ‘Cause when you’re the poster boy, it’s your team."

"I’m sorry, that’s what the old-school guys did. That’s what the Elways and the Kellys and the Marinos and those guys did. They refused to let anything bad go on in the organization. Because it was the most important thing in their life. That’s grit, passion and perseverance.”

sounds like what a lot of the posters on this board have said.
