Ryan Tannehill Is Proving He Belonged in the Vaunted 2012 Rookie QB Class

[hoops]

How does he have a higher ceiling than Luck or Wilson? Both have good arms and are more mobile.

they are more finished products...and watching them you can tell it...more polished right now but also more finished products

ryan will never be as good at luck, rg3 or wilson dont you guys watch espn. he could win the super bowl and still not get any respect, why bc he plays for the dolphins.

The reason,he does not get respect is that he has not led his team to the playoffs. If he manages to do that this year, then he will start to be mentioned.

The INT yesterday was actually more a HoF player making a great play to read the QB.

There were two reasons for the INT. The "HoF player" made a great break on the ball, and Ryan stared down the slant. Big Ben looked off the coverage on a similiar play. That is the difference between a Pro Bowl QB and a very good young QB.

if that was a slant it sure wasn't run very well...

Tannehill is always going to be in the class. The question is will this class amount to something? Early success for sure but too soon to tell.

This wasn't even his best game of the season. The difference yesterday was that Charles Clay makes an amazing play instead of dropping the football. Go watch the cut-up of every dropback he had against the Ravens. We lost the game? Yeah, it sucked. But you watch the dropbacks start to finish, that's damn good QB play.

As LAXCoach mentioned in another thread, there is plenty of tape out on Ryan Tannehill, and even with guys jumping the routes we run too frequently, he is STILL improving. This kid's legit. Just enjoy the ride.

To me, I don't care what the stats say. As an observer, with the conditions he played in, and all the other factors included, THIS WAS HIS BEST GAME AS A FIN! I was damn proud yesterday, and finally saw some hope that he might become what we have been looking for since 1999! He really has shown great improvement just the past 4 weeks! Im very hopeful for our future.
