Active Roster
Drama!
Cleanest practice field
Most tied shoelaces
Possibly best weather
Defense is up there

Now when you ask that question about other teams, some are easy (Denver, Seattle, San Fran) and some are very similar (Cleveland, Tennessee, Minnesota, St. Louis).....so while it is easy to feel sorry for ourselves, we are in pretty good company if you look around the league.
What I didn't mention, but is my opinion, is that we absolutely lead the league in drama....both self inflicted and manufactured by the media. The self inflicted part is on us and needs to be cleaned up. I think we are moving in the right direction and removing Ireland from the equation was a great first step. However, we also need to start pushing back on the media by the organization. If you allow the constant articles that are really the opinion of the writer to continue to point at us in negative light, pretty soon the "myth" becomes "fact" and you can't do anything right...even when you do. If I was Mr. Ross, I would be focusing on the PR side of the business to both the media and the fans. In this era of social media and multiple talking heads on the 24 hour news cycle...we seem to be living in the dark ages and don't understand how to better control the messaging. We had a competitive team in 2013...yes, I saw the last two games......but until the last second of the last game, this team had a chance to be a playoff team. That hasn't happened around here lately, I know we didn't get there, but we had a chance. If you listen to the media about the Phins, you would think we were a 1-15 team and the worst team in football. If I'm not mistaken, the Ravens also fell apart in their final game......a team that is a proven winner.....yet the focus for all the negativity is on us.
Time to start getting this under control. How about a good PR team with an aggressive and positive working relationship with the media and lets start turning this ship around!

Looking for the study that I read, hope to find it soon...basically said the biggest jump a QB will make is between their first and second full years of starting, and by the end of their second full year, most have plateaued near the level where they will remain.
That's because 1,000 pass attempts are thought to represent the "magic number" of starting experience for quarterbacks in the NFL, the inevitable exceptions to the rule notwithstanding. QBs typically average about 500 attempts in a year of starting, hence the "two years" estimate you're talking about.
Here is some more on Tannehill's improvement from year one to year two:

Of course most havent had to endure bad offensive lines. With maybe the exception of D Carr and Tannenhil. That comes to mind. With a good offensive line and a ssemblance of a run game you coukd probably say that is true. But if you dont have a good line or run game kind of hard for a young qb to make that jump!

Not only what you brought to the table , we have a pair of CBs when healthy that can play with anybody , our Defence as a whole is top 10 easy , we need to try and bring back all if cheap enough , except Wheeler , We have our QB and we have a above avg TE and will only get better , and as said we had 2 WRs that BOTH almost broke 1000 yards , imo if we can get our OL fixed and a decent pounding RB and bring back our Defence , if they come cheap enough we could become a very good team this coming year ....
