8. Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill will have the best passing numbers of any of the third-year quarterbacks.That's right. Better than Andrew Luck, Nick Foles and Russell Wilson
The new offense seems to suit Tannehill and outside receiver Mike Wallace. It will help if his line block better. He was dumped 58 times last year. That won't happen again, and his numbers will go up. He threw 24 touchdown passes last season and it wouldn't shock me to see that number in the 30s this time around.

I think he just took ten very improbable things and hopes that one or two will happen...
 
Doesn't Pete Prisco have a really bad track record on this sort of thing? :(
 
If Ryan Tannehill throws more than 30 TD passes this year I will be stunned, in shock.
 
i would be stunned and in shock if he throws less than 30 touchdowns this year (barring injury, of course).
 
I think Jerry Jones will make a push for Harbaugh but can Harbaugh work with Jones? It sounds like it would be a worse situation than he has in San Fran. Harbaugh will probably want to go somewhere where he has full control with a non-medling owner.

I can envision scenarios where Tannehill passes for over 5000 yards challenging Marino's Miami record. 1. If the defense creates a **** load of turnovers. 2. Depending on how far the refs go with this holding penalty business which could extend a lot of drives. 3. A lot of check downs and short quick passes instead of runs. 4. The uptempo offense. 5. Better chemistry with Wallace 6. A lot of YAC for players like Clay, Miller, Wallace and Landry
 
Well right now #3 looks like a solid prediction...3 points scored by the starting offense would be cause for concern. They don't look very good but it is the preseason.

#6 I agree with as well. Packers will take the North.

#9 I agree with. In a Norv Turner offense with more vertical passing Patterson should shine.

#10 I could see happening except for the 20 sacks. He'll have to beat Clowney to the QB which I don't think he will but Watt should get 13-15 sacks, 20 TFLs and probably 10+ passes defensed by way of batted balls at the LOS.

#8 I can see Tannehill having a really good season and 30+ TDs is not a substantial amount in today's NFL. Everyone on that list has their own set of issues on their respective teams except for Wilson, who only threw an average of 26 passes per game last year because of his running game and defense/special teams. It's possible he could put up better numbers than all three but he's going to need this defense to be better on 3rd down and come up with more turnovers.
