Let's start first with his 2013 stats...

Passing
3,913 YRDs
24 TDs
17 INTs

Rushing
238 YRDs
1 TDs
5 Fumbles Lost

For my 2014 Prediction, I will try to be as realistic as possible. I truly believe Tannehill is a Top 10 QB and will prove it in 2014. We all know he has been handcuffed the last 2 seasons and may still deal with some hiccups from the o-line and a lacking running game but he has the weapons and scheme to flourish.

Passing
4,600 YRDs
31 TDs
11 INTs

Rushing
400 YRDs
4 TDs
3 Fumbles Lost

What's your prediction?...
 
I was actually just telling my buddy the other day how much potential i see in this offense. Stated that if the line holds, and Tannehill remains healthy I could easily see him going for 4500 + yards and 30 + TD's. Pretty much right where you have him. I would love to think he only throws 11 int's, but I am thinking more along the lines of 15.

Passing
4,550 YRDS
33 TDs
15 INTs

Rushing
480 YDs
3 TDs
4 Fumbles Lost
 
4200 passing yards 32 TDs 15 INTs

430 rushing 4 TDs
 
I expect to see interception totals down. Even if you don't think that he will throw fewer interceptions with better protection and a less predictable offense that tries to get guys open rather than throw fastballs into slits, keep in mind that he threw several end of half and end of game interceptions when he was just pressing in desperation. I also expect that we will throw the ball a lot due to a limited running game and the simple fact that our best offensive skill weapons play wide receiver and H-Back. I think this offense is better designed for YAC and a high completion percentage, meaning his Y/A will shoot up.

Ballpark guess:

4,500 yards
7.5 YPA
33 TD
10 INT

I think he is set up to have a very, very good season. I think that it's possible he will put up even better 'fantasy' numbers than that, but we'll see. I was very impressed by what he was able to do last season with about the worst supporting cast in pro football and coaching that was (IMO) flat out incompetent. So with a better supporting cast and better coaching, I absolutely expect him to light up some fantasy scoreboards like pinball machines.

If you think I am being far too optimistic with these numbers, that's fair. However, I've always maintained that the offense a quarterback is asked to execute has a huge impact on his statistics, and my only point of comparison right now is Nick Foles in 2013. If anything, I might be making a conservative estimate here. A lot of it depends on how much Lazor tries to implement the Chip Kelly concepts. If we really try to execute the hurry-up and can establish a running game, I think our QB is capable of putting up video game stats.
 
I love the optimism. I have some concerns however, and they are the same ones we all had last year. O line and running game. If those things falter, RT will be burdened with making magic happen on 3rd and 10. This will spell disaster. Personally, I'd like him to throw for LESS yards. This would signal to me that our team was more successful. That being said, how about these stats : 3300 yards 20 td 10 int. With those stats it means a balanced attack and confident o line and a 10-6 record.

3300 yards means we have the 32nd ranked offense in the NFL, because there's no way we're rushing for 2,500 yards.

Copied Andy Dalton's stats huh?

I expect better numbers because I think he is better then Dalton more specifically I expect less INTs and therfore a higher passer rating. Dalton is a good stat QB so can't be too upset with a stat comparison with his but we all know Dalton isn't going to win anything come playoff time
