Both players are limited by their surroundings, and are better than their statistics indicate, IMO. However, from watching both players, there is absolutely no way I can conclude that Ryan Tannehill is as good as Andrew Luck. Maybe some day? Okay. But definitely not today.
I apply the same standards to other QBs that I do to Tannehill. That is why although I think Russell Wilson is better than Ryan Tannehill, I think the gap is smaller than the statistics indicate. Wilson has better circumstances. Likewise, Geno Smith has better circumstances with good blocking, a very good defense, fairly competent receivers, a strong running game, and an offensive coordinator who I feel is very underrated. So when I bash on Geno Smith, it's taking into account that he is flat out ****ing terrible despite having relatively good circumstances to work with.
the talent around him eroded, he's not Tom Brady elevating mediocre talent to the playoffs every year. He needs help like most QBs not name Brady do.

i don't understand how one team could be in the playoff race at 5-5, while another team in the same division is also 5-5, and be out of the playoff race? just because, if the season ended today, one team would be out of the playoffs? lol that's sounds about as retarded as it gets. Guess what, the season doesn't end in week 11. Both teams are in the playoff race. That would be like saying miami would be in the playoffs, when they were 3-0. Who cares?
Sanchez....the Sanchez who's only completed more then 55% once....has never had a rating over 80...has more int's then TD's over his career, has a 5.5 YPA...that Sanchez....oh that dude is trash.

Tua time!
the other two are awful
who said Miami isn't in the race as of now?
and one of those guys would have started over Ryan last year if he didn't get hurt.

tannehills the highest ceiling young qb in the game...that is all

there's no guarantee garrards corpse would have started over tannehill last year either...once tanny got reps and showed growth in camp and the preseason a healthy garrard i don't think would have changed how it went down...they wanted tanny to win that job and he did just that
agreed: (NY Jets were "elite 09-11/ Sanchez a top 10QB/ Wouldn't trade Sanchez for most top 12 QBs or 2 first rounders/the jest deserved to make it into the 09 playoffs although they lost to Colts starters 45-27 when playing" etc etc etc)
Do your bosses know that despite posting 5-8 hours a weekday you're still not fooling anyone other than the biggest hard wired haters or most gullible?
Obviously Ryan would have been starting before too long but he wasn't going to start the year. he wasn't ready much like Geno this year wasn't ready.

We're talking just raw potential and ability? Cam Newton or Griffin. The question is how likely they are to reach that ceiling.

does this make 15 pages of bad photoshops dedicated to me?
It's funny how you don't realize what that # of no thanks actually means.

I think Ryan can be a good starting QB in this league, he's not one yet but he can be one. To say he has the highest ceiling of the young QBs is pretty silly. I know you are all in and have to back him but he clearly doesn't have the highest ceiling.
