Pretty solid article from Barry Jackson. I'm pretty pumped about Tannehill and glad we got him signed.
Barry paints a rosy picture. 
I hope he is the answer at QB.
I am all about letting rookies sit and learn. However, if he's ready and performing up to snuff, then he should start. I just believe that if there's any question then sit him and let him learn.

Winning the starting jobs against a formal pro bowler and a very decent backup would be gratifying. Seeing his continual progression, especially with speed of the game is what has me very encouraged.
Barry Jackson Sports Buzz late Sunday- Tannehill update
Ryan Tannehill left Dolphins headquarters close to midnight Saturday, the ink still drying on his contract, was awake by 5:30 Sunday morning, back to work as the sun rose over Davie, and then tantalized adoring fans with a string of 11 completions in 12 attempts during one stretch of practice, mostly on short-to-medium range throws.
All in all, it was a productive first day of training camp for the Dolphins’ first-round draft choice, aside from two interceptions, both off deflections, in 7-on-7 drills.
“It was a good starting point,” Tannehill said, relieved to be in camp after missing the first two days in a contract dispute. “It’s been a long couple of days for me. To be finally out there and competing, it felt great.”
Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman gave his rookie quarterback a thumbs up: “He was ahead of where I thought he would be.”
Now the question is whether Tannehill can become a serious factor in the battle for the starting job. His erratic performance in May/June practices, combined with the fact he received very few first-team snaps in the offseason program, left the impression he likely would begin his rookie season on the bench. Even Reggie Bush said, in June, that he agreed with that assessment.
But the Dolphins want to base the quarterback decision on training camp, and especially preseason games. So while Tannehill remains a clear underdog behind veterans David Garrard and Matt Moore, he will give himself a chance if he plays exceptionally well the next two weeks.
“I feel like I’m in it,” he said. “I may be naïve, but coach hasn’t given me any indication I’m not. I’m going to go out there every day and… hopefully win the job.”
Tannehill never took the majority of first-team snaps on any day this offseason except the final one (June 21).
Asked if Tannehill will now get first-team snaps similar to what Garrard and Moore are receiving, Sherman said, “He got more reps than anybody [Sunday]. He was primarily with the second group.
“Eventually, we’re going to work him in with the first group once he gets caught up to snuff, which I think will be sooner rather than later. You still want to get the veteran guys their reps they’ve earned and they deserve.”

I just love the fact Ryan made his "official" Dolphins debut as QB on a Sunday, and from all reports looked pretty sharp.
I'm hoping that becomes a trend.
