Among many things the Dolphins like about Ryan Tannehill is he doesn’t make a lot of bad decisions, though he did make a couple of glaring ones in the red zone last season.

In fact, ESPN’s KC Joyner tells us Tannehill made bad decisions on just 0.7 percent of his throws in 2015, ranking in the NFL’s top 10. “If you’re below one percent, that’s elite,” said Joyner, who identifies bad decisions as mental errors leading to a potential turnover.

Incidentally, Chicago’s Jay Cutler went from 1.5 percent in 2014 to 1.0 percent in 2015, his one year under new Dolphins coach Adam Gase.

### Agent Drew Rosenhaus said on his WSVN-Fox segment that he expects his client, Bobby McCain, to replace slot corner Brice McCain, who was cut…. Denver impending free agent David Bruton, a quality backup safety and special teams ace, told The Denver Post that he hears Miami is among the teams interested in him.

Too many times this offense just seemed to settle for less on third downs, so although it's nice to know that our QB made good decisions in regards to not putting the ball in harms way, the offense in general was way too cautious on third downs and it is one of the reasons we were 30th in the NFL on third downs. Also, like the writer states, we had some really bad turnovers in the redzone and inside of our own 20 yard line this past year and the percentage of those, in comparison to the total amount, is probably much higher than desired.

Just to play devil's advocate, couldn't that have something to do with the ridiculous amount of 1 yard passes Lazor made him throw? I feel like it's hard to judge him one way or the other based off last year with Lazor's crappy scheme.

Progression and pre snap reads are the same regardless of the depth of routes...if you don't like that don't run a short horizontal passing game

Decision making wise tannehill is pretty much always dead on relative to coverage played etc.
 
I'm one who doesn't think Tannehill is/going to be a great QB. But I do acknowledge the fact that he does not turn the ball over a lot and that is one thing good about him. He doesn't make those boneheaded throws that turns into picks but he sometimes has soft hands and easily fumbles the ball. Overall though, I agree he is good at not turning the ball over.
 
So he's a good game manager. Great...no offense I want more than that from my qb

I do think Jennings' comments about Tannehill being a baby throw some shade on the idea that his decision making is elite. You can say it's elite based on his task. If you have two people who both get 9 out of 10 questions right, but person A is doing basic addition and subtraction, and person B is doing calculus, it's inaccurate to say that they're operating at the same level.
 
thou shall not speak positively about tannehill online!

Or other peoples tests have multiple choices to choose from for the answer and Tannehill's test doesn't but he is still acing the test.
