One of the funnier jokes to make the rounds on Twitter this season was how well former Adam Gase players performed after being freed from the shackles of his offense. Players like Ryan Tannehill, DeVante Parker and Kenyan Drake — who were all with Gase in Miami — have enjoyed career years in their first season away from the coach. Meanwhile, Jets players like Le’Veon Bell saw substantial dips in production.

The Jets brought Gase in because of his perceived offensive ingenuity, but so far the team hasn’t seen anything close to that. So while the Jets have seen their offensive numbers dwindle under Gase, his former players have enjoyed previously unseen success.

Here’s how seven former Gase players have fared without him.

QB Ryan Tannehill, Titans

Gase came to Miami because of his perceived ability to elevate a quarterback’s play, but he actually did the opposite with Tannehill in their short time together. Tannehill saw his yards and touchdown totals drop once Gase came to Miami, and he only threw for 4,974 yards and 36 touchdowns in the two seasons Gase coached him. 

The Dolphins traded Tannehill and a sixth-round pick to the Titans for a fourth-round pick last offseason. He enjoyed his best season to date despite only starting 12 games.

After he took over for Marcus Mariota in Week 6, Tannehill led the Titans to the AFC Championship with a 9-3 record. Tannehill also set career-highs in touchdowns (22) and completion percentage (70.3) – the later led the NFL. He also led the NFL in passer rating (117.5), yards per pass attempt (9.6) and yards per completion (13.6).
