MERGED: Tannehill looks sharp in Trainingcamp

Concur with the hot damn. Concerned with the rest.

Here is a thought. If Moore continues to struggle in camo I would hope they go Garrard, Tannehill and Devlin.

The coach actually made it a point to mention Devlin this week. If Moore continues to practice poorly (we know he is a poor practice player) it might not be a reach to think that the staff may actually keep Devlin. Moore could be traded, his stock is high from his performance last season. Stranger things have happened and I would not be surprised.
 
Devlin's strengths are suited this offense. also, the way it sounds, he has improved on his two main points of weakness, arm strength and confidence

some may call me crazy but if garrard shows thru camp and the preseason he can stay healthy it wouldn't shock me if it was garrard tannehill and devlin and moore is gone one way or another...only 3 days in but moore better pick it up...i don't think his games a good fit for this o anyways...devlin and tannehill it definitely is

reports on devlin are good also...omar says his arm is a lot stronger this year...you better watch trying to put that on the p squad again...especially if hard knocks is noticing

Before his dreadful off season that led to him falling undrafted, I was really high on Devlin. Liked his feet and his release a lot. I'd sooner get rid of the loser of the Garrard/Moore battle than send Devlin back to PS.

I also agree that if it's close, start Tannehill. I just think he'll have to develop quicker than I expect him to in order to make it close.

Where's Omar's tweets?

You know, the: "Tannehill threw an interception in his first practice, its clear his career was ultimately derailed by the holdout and will never recover. Also might have made other throws..."

Omar seems to have a bias towards Garrard and Chad Johnson. Every time i read reports he speaks of that pair like we have Steve Young and Jerry Rice. I haven't read them all but that's what i take from him.

Unless they trade Garrard or Moore at the end of the preseason (I think a trade might happen), Devlin is likely destined for the practice squad again. I like that he is showing improvement and hope he continues to develop, but I think his real shot at being a full time member on the 53 will come in 2013. Especially with Tannehill being the only guy under contract at this point next year.
 
accuracy and ball placement were definitely strengths of pat devlin...that's a lot of what you want in this o...ball out of hand and in a position where your wr or pass catcher can make run after the catch...his arm being stronger a nice add on

i don't recall much though about his ability to throw on the move...seemed more of a pocket guy to me

When speaking of his feet, I was meaning his ability to navigate the pocket.
 
I don't think T-hill will start at all this year, unless we're 0-7 and/or injury problems. Give the kid some room to grow and develop. He's no RG3.

Devlin blew it during the draft process with his confidence tanking and losing his focus. He looked overwhelmed and it continued in the preseason after signing with Miami. He was 1 of many players around the NFL who suffered without a full off season and training camp due to the lockout. I believe Miami is risking the loose of Devlin, by placing him on the P/S. He looks like a completely Different player this year. I'm excited about the raw potential Devlin has in this offensive system. Could Devlin turn out to be the surprise story of the Dolphins, who we fans never gave a chance? I'd hate to lose a young QB like Devlin knowing how hard it is to find quality QB's; especially if Devlin eventually turns out to be Miami's version of Matt Flynn. A quality backup QB.
