[h=3]After the quarterback had his best season in 2014, a breakout season of sorts, he is ready to go even further.[/h]

By Andy Cohen

It is confidence that seems to be the biggest difference in quarterback Ryan Tannehill as he takes part in his fourth training camp with the Dolphins. His confidence in himself. His confidence in his teammates. His confidence in his ability to lead.

“I feel like we have every piece we need,” he says, well, confidently. “We want to win a championship. Everybody is on board with this.”

I can so easily remember the Ryan Tannehill of his first training camp. He was soft-spoken. He would rarely look you in the eye. He spoke of following others and of adjusting to this level. There wasn’t much passion in his voice nor much conviction in his words. He simply wanted to learn what playing quarterback in the NFL was all about.

Well, now he knows. Now, he has three years of experience. Now he has produced a body of work that shows a player clearly ascending, a player who has a total feel for his job and the responsibilities that come with it.

Jarvis Landry is in his second season with Tannehill. He sees the difference as well. “He is so much more focused,” Landry said. “He expects to play at the highest level this season and that’s what we expect from ourselves.”

This confidence is a direct result of Tannehill’s 2014 season when he produced a career high for touchdown passes (27) and a career low for interceptions (12). He admits openly that, despite those impressive numbers, he left “far too many plays on the field.”

But now he is in his second season in Bill Lazor’s offense and admits candidly, “we are light years ahead of where we were this time last season.”

Tannehill looks around him and sees a smorgasbord of talented skill players, most of them new, and it is that talent around him that helps fuel his excitement and helps raise his level of confidence even more.

I read that earlier. I hope he takes the next step into elite Franchise QB status.
 
The unfortunate part of Tannehill's legacy will be how much hate and disapproval this kid encountered during his tenure before the entire fan base realized and appreciated what they truly had.

Many fans on this board behave like guys who had 1 great girlfriend and let it cloud their judgement of all the women they experienced after her. Comparing Tannehill to Marino is the same fool's errand the average NFL fan has made comparing Marino to Montana. Actual athletes understand each player can be great in his own regard.

Tannehill has yet to reach his ceiliing. And every year the Don's of Football wearing their Marino shades have paralleled Ryan's trajectory to Marino's and looked for flaws, imperfections and inabilities. What they miss is a truly rare occurrence in the NFL...a QB with very little college experience developing into a top tier QB with only more room to grow and the ability to achieve it.

Most QBs polish much sooner and become restricted in their ability to execute an offense. We call this "tailoring an offense to the QB". Ryan's physical tools have few parallels in the league. His ability to improve statistically and within the game from year to year has no rivals I can summon. And he is one of the few players I can remember being truly "grown" and "cultivated" at the QB position that has excelled as he has.

But his most "polished" quality has been there from Day 1: He gets back up. On the field and off.

When Ryan retires, a lot of fans are going to regret not giving Tannehill a fair chance to be #17 and not #13. Both will be remembered as great QBs for the Dolphins, but for completely different reasons.

I'm glad I saw the real name and number on the back of his jersey when he became a Dolphin. I'd hate to still be clinging to the '80s.

Post of the Year?:fhpotd::fhpotd::fhpotd:
 
I don't need 17 to be 13, all I need is for 17 to make me forget all the crap that came between 13 and 17.

The future is bright and I like everything I am hearing so far on all accounts (well except the decimation of the O-line by our D-line but I expected that to occur).

There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be able to go 8-8 again. This season is gonna be exciting folks.
 
I never knew Tannehill was a Polish name..................oh..........shiny.......I get it lol.
 
I like the weapons we have assembled, but if #13 in his prime was running the offense, he would be killed with the olines of the last 3 years
It is a credit to RT17's athleticism that he has survived. I hope we get it right(oline) soon, he will not be able to scramble for his life for an entire career.
This team looks as good on paper as any we have had in over 10 years. I hope the oline doesn't spoil it.
 
Can't wait to see what he does with a proper o line... Hopefully
