INDIANAPOLIS — When Ryan Tannehill looks across the field Sunday, he’ll see an encouraging sign in Andrew Luck’s comeback.

Six years after the Miami Dolphins drafted Tannehill seven picks behind Luck, Sunday’s starting quarterbacks seem to be following similar paths.

Both missed all of last season with injuries. Each is trying to make a late-season playoff run. And Tannehill hopes to prove he, like Luck, can successfully return from a problematic throwing shoulder.

“I know he was dealing with stuff throughout the offseason,” Tannehill said. “I don’t know exactly what he had going on, but I have a ton of respect for Andrew and he’s playing really well right now.”

Actually, Luck is playing the best football of his career — more than 21 months after undergoing surgery for a partially torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Throughout his extended absence, Luck dealt with physical pain and mental anguish, brought on at least partially because he couldn’t help his teammates when they most needed him.

Tannehill understands after missing the previous five games with an injured shoulder capsule.

If only Miami could be so Lucky.
 
Luck could barely throw a football a couple months ago, and he’s having a better season than Tannahill has ever had in his life.
 
Just checked Lucks stats out - I honestly don’t recall his NFL leading, 40 TD season. Must have been living under a rock. He’s having an excellent year this year that’s for sure. Always seemed like a really good person - good for him. He and Tannehill both had to suffer through Joe Philbin and his crappy O-lines. In fact, as far as the combo of any two QBs plus a coach, my bet is this trio wins the “most sacked combo in NFL history” award.

Isn’t that the year the colts made the AFC title game?

Crap - I don’t recall them playing in one w Luck. Though I do remember them beating the Chiefs after being down like 30-0 in the 2nd half in the playoffs. Had to be the same year.
