Tannehill set for a breakout season?

Aside from Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning, I wouldn’t want to take any quarterback early in this year’s fantasy draft, because I think there are some great second-tier options. Jay Cutler (more on him as a fantasy option here and here) and Tannehill are two excellent options later on in the draft, and I would be shocked if Tannehill doesn’t have a big year, even if Bill Lazor emphasizes the running game more with an improved offensive line, veteran Knowshon Moreno, and underrated, electric starter Lamar Miller.

Tannehill just might be the most underrated quarterback in the NFL right now, and his ability to operate while under pressure is key. The Dolphins had an embarrassing offensive line last year, and that severely skewed Tannehill’s performance. He’s heading into this third year with an upgraded offensive coordinator (he was familiar with Mike Sherman, but the guy just wasn’t good enough at running an NFL offense), and we all know that year three is a huge one. Last season, Tannehill improved his completion percentage and TD:INT ratio despite being under pressure more often and not having the benefit of an adequate running game to keep defenses honest against the pass.

His numbers were below-average across the board last season compared to league averages at QB, but the upticks in accuracy and decision-making that will result from better line play and his own development as a QB should allow him to make full use of the talent around him and fulfill his potential as a true franchise QB in 2014. At this point, I will be very surprised if he doesn’t put together a solid season that gives the Dolphins organization even more hope for the future.

Sure hope he is right about Tannehill improving with better line play and with a new coordinator.

Tannehill ???

In my opinion Dalton's numbers have been better year to year because he had a much better team to work with, but we are catching up in that department and I don't think 4500 yards and 35 TDs are out of the realm of possibility.
 
The fate of this entire team rests on the O-line.

Period.

If they can't keep Tannehill clean, we will not succeed and chances are Tannehill ends up hurt.

Maybe true but he was sixth in fantasy football points last season and I think Tannehill could outperform those stats this season, meaning Tannehill will probably be underrated in fantasy leagues.

I think Tannehill would breakout if we had an improved o-line.....but I think our o-line will be worse so....not sure

How about backing that statement up. I can guarantee we got better at both tackle spots. You could argue all four new starters will be improved.

Its not the tackle spots that scare most people.Its who is gonna hold down the fort at Center until Pouncey gets back.
 
I had a nightmare that Tannehill has an average season this year and Dolphin fans and the organization panics. Tannehill gets traded to Houston and becomes a star in his home state. And I wonder why my doctor want to test me for sleep apnea... these kind of dreams would make anyone stop breathing in his sleep.
 
Shouldnt this be merged with all of the Tannehill breakout season threads from last summer?
