Let's not get carried away here. He was barely over 50% passing and had 160 yards combined in the wild card and divisional games. And in that game you characterize as 'out of his mind,' he threw 19 passes and finished under 190 yards. He's been a compliment, at best, and a minor one at that, at least in the games you mentioned.
I mean, seriously, is anyone arguing that taking the ball out of Henry's hands and hoping that Tannehill can keep up with Mahomes and company in a shootout is a recipe for anything but a long flight home for Tennessee? I mean, I can see the possibility of Tannehill breaking a play or two off of play action, but people are making it sound like he's Aaron Rodgers.
