Ross pushing for Tannehill?

[DolfanDuBbZ~]

You may be right, taking a QB that high is risky when they have so few college starts. However there are a few things in my mind that make it far less riskier with Tannehill. 1st Tannehill seems to be a proto-typical type of QB as far size and arm strength. 2nd with the rookie pay scale in place now the risk seems to be far less. I'm pretty sure if a similar pay scale was in place for Sanchez the Jets would have totally moved away from him this off-season.

Less riskier maybe. But why bypass the next Patrick Willis for the next Brady Quinn? You don't toss around TOP 10 picks like candy, unless you want to be DET for a decade longer.

Of course he is, it's the WRONG move. It's the "I'm seeking approval" move. It's the "This franchise needs buzz" move. He's not wrong for seeking out approval of a franchise he's alienated with his own stupidity, and he's not wrong trying to get a little bit of excitement and marketability back into the Dolphins by drafting the SAVIOR. But this guy isn't the right guy. He's a reach. It's so obvious.

If Ross was making moves because the franchise needs a "buzz", the Dolphins would have signed Matt Flynn. That would have made the media happy as well as few, but not all, fans.
