You don't think that maybe with Tannehill he is tying to keep him healthy until the end of he season (Hopefully for the playoffs), but with Osweiler he had no reservation overusing him if he had to, to steal maybe steal some wins here and here?
You don't think that Gase is smart enough to see Tannehill's 102/154(66.2%)...1,176yrds (7.6 YPC)...10 TD/5 INT...4.8 YPR...97.2 QB Rating in 5 starts is much better then 113/178 (63.5%)...1,247yrds (7.0 YPC)...6 TD/4 INT...2.6 YPR...86.0 QB Rating in 6 starts for Osweiler?
Also just noticed, it's 154 attempts in 5 games ( 30.8 att) for Tannehill compared to 178 attempts in 6 for ( 29.7 Att) for Osweiler... Tannehill was given one attempt more per game according to NFL.com.

In Osweiler's 5 starts (not including the game he come on in relief of Tannehill):
Week 6 against Chicago - 44 attempts
Week 7 against Detroit - 31 attempts
Week 8 at Houston - 37 attempts
Week 9 against Jets - 24 attempts
Week 10 at GB - 37 attempts
Total 173 attempts in 5 starts - 34.6 pass attempts per start
In Tannehill's 6 starts (6 not 5):
Week 1 against Ten - 28 attempts
Week 2 at Jets - 23 attempts
Week 3 against Raiders - 23 attempts
Week 4 at Patriots - 20 attempts
Week 5 at Cincy - 35 attempts (only game over 30 attempts this year so how can he possibly average over 30 attempts per game?)
Week 11 at Indy - 25 attempts
Total 154 attempts in 6 starts - 25.7 pass attempts per start
Compared to Osweiler who only had one game under 30 attempts. The only reason I looked it up is cause I can tell the play calling was different with Tannehill in the game as opposed to Osweiler. Gase called more pass plays for Osweiler.
