I think one of the veterans will get there chance because they deserve it even if Tannehill was ready. Tannehill needs to get used to the NFL and watch the veterans and what they do and be ready to come in if the veterans dont succeed.
Tannehill will not start before the bye week in my opinion and only will start once we are eliminated from the playoffs or have losing record by the bye week.

I think the right side of the OL could help determine the decision as well. If its not much improved over last year I cant see RT starting at least until that is fixed.

This is a funny thread!! Sure shows fan's knowledge of QBs.
Jeez, Tanne stunk it up in college & even got his coach fired (Sherman) ... "NFL Ready" QBs don't lose that many games consistently.
Tanne's got some athletic ability, but the Dolphins have a couple vets with experience & skills.
THE Question: Can Tanne climb the QB Learning Curve ... or will he get stuck like most promising rooks? Chances are ... it will be a good while before Tanne starts!!
P.S. Don't get horny if Tanne does well in pre-season ... Henne & alot of rooks always look good in "weenie time"!!

I think that's Miss, Mrs, or Ms.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Preseason will tell the tale.

AHH THE MICROWAVE AGE. Why wait?? Why not?? I don't care if he is the 2nd coming of Dan Marino we aren't winning the superbowl this year. Letting him wait CAN'T hurt, but forcing him in too early CAN hurt. Will it stunt his growth?? No ones knows that but the coaches in charge but I am willing to wait on another Aarron Rodgers, rather than force him into becoming Joey Harrington, Ryan Leaf, ect. Forcing them in too early CAN ruin/end their career, break their confidence, and bring unbelievable pressure. There are people on this very board who have hated on some of our other draft picks so bad they were wishing injury on them. I can remember people wishing Tedd Ginn would get injured just to get him off the field. There are those already on here saying RT was a terrible pick.
Think back for a few minutes to when you were 22. Now imagine being married and moving away from your entire family, friends, support and being thrust into a new life where everyone is writing about how you suck. You throw 2 picks and you are a "BUST". You are trying to explain to your wife how it is just growing pains but deep down you are wondering if you can make it in the NFL. That is just too much pressure to put on him IMO. You are saying it is better to learn on the job, which means you will see his very worst until he gets up to speed. He has very little experience as a college QB much less a pro. He will have MANY issues to work out before he can be what he can become.
Right now it is fun and exciting to him. If he is learning behind two solid vets seeing the way the game is played, he will stay hungry and excited, even motivated to continue to improve to become the starter all the while without the pressure of the press and fans expectations. But if you throw him into the fire and things go the slightest bit wrong which they absolutely will, you will see it become a job REAL quick. It will no longer be fun, it will be work. The passion will be replaced with it becoming a chore. He will be forced to spend as much time convincing his wife and friends, teammates, coaches, media and fans that he is going to turn it around, as he will be trying to actually get better. Instead of dreaming about how to making a certain play work better he will be trying to think of the right thing to say to the next reporter.
Let me ask you this, when was the last time a rookie QB had a rating of over 90 or 85 for that matter?? Newton last year was able to extend plays because of his amazing feet and speed. Ryan is fast for a QB but not Newton or Vick fast, he won't be able to extend plays to that extent, add to that the fact that we have WRs that provide NO saftey blanket. We have no player that when you are in trouble you can just throw it up to and he will either catch it or knock it away. Instead we have WRs that are going to struggle to get open. It will be easy to play defense against us, until we get some of our young talent up to speed. In a year or two we will have better options at the WR position, and our TEs will understand the game better to give him more options. Right now he will be trying to go to his third and forth options just to find an open option. Right now a high percentage of his plays will be to continue hunting an open WR until he has to throw it away or take a sack, that will be his CORRECT decision. That is not the best place for a rookie QB to learn.
Aarron Rodgers would not have been the finished product we saw if he would have came in as a rookie. He may have NEVER became what we now see. I see a lot of similiar quailities in RT. The sky is the limit as far as talent for RT but he is RAW, VERY RAW. Why put the pressure on him to learn under fire when there is nothing to gain and everything to lose. Let this team build around him and throw him the keys when we have turned it into a Corvette, rather than the Pinto we are going to field this year. He doesn't have the experience of RG3 and Luck, yet every snap he takes will be compared to them if he starts from week one. Thats not fair to him or us.
