Completions - 8th (300)

Attempts - 6th (484)

Completion % - 17th (62.0)

Attempts/game - 9th (37.2)

Yards - 8th (3,315)

Yards/game - 12th (255.0)

Touchdowns - Tied 10th with Foles (20)

Interceptions - 6th most (14)

First Downs - Tied 7th with Matt Ryan (170)

20+ yd plays - Tied 10th with Flacco, Ryan & Alex Smith (38)

40+ yd plays - Tied 6th with Roethlisberger and Stafford (10)

QB rating - Theres alot of guys with not that many comp/attempts who rank high in this so going off of who has more than 200 attempts he ranks 22nd tied with Palmer (83.2)


Note:

Andrew Luck is not ahead of Tannehill in ANY category. Well he has less interceptions and thats it.

Now ill compare Wilson and Tanny.

Tannehill has 300 completions with 484 attempts/Wilson has 198 completions on 305 attempts. So Tanny has as many completions as Wilson has attempts.

Tanny has 37.2 attempts per game....Wilson has 25.4

Tanny has 3315 yards...Wilson has 2672 yards.

Tanny has 20 tds/14int....Wilson has 22/6

Tanny has 170 first downs...Wilson has 118.

Tanny has 38 completions of 20+ yards....Wilson has 41.

Tanny has 10 completions of 40+ yards...Wilson has 9.

Tanny has a 83.2 QB Rating....Wilson has 108.5



Everyone who thinks Wilson is so much better....the key stat here is Tannehill has 5 less completions than Wilson has attempts. The Seahawks are ranked 3rd in rushing. Miami is ranked 23rd in yards. Wilson doesnt carry that team like some of you guys want to believe. Im not saying Wilson sucks by any means but hes really not asked to throw all that much.
 
Amen, OP. It's funny how many people don't even understand what RT is accomplishing. Probably the same people you read on the game thread in the first half of the first quarter- declaring Miami dead and RT a bust.
 
All nice and all. His next step is to protect the ball just a tad better... That said, the rest is pretty nice for a 2nd year QB who was supposed to be a project to begin with!
 
All of this with a crappy o line and no running game. The line has pass blocked alot better after Martin bounced and we got McKinney.
 
Of course you can think whatever you'd like about Ryan Tannehill, but the stats in the last eight columns on the right on the following page are the ones most strongly correlated with winning:

We can pick out other stats and look at them too, but I think we should realize they're less meaningful than the ones that are far more strongly correlated with what the team is trying to do out there (i.e., win).

It takes a team to win....this is individual stats.

So are the ones on the page I linked above. The difference is that those individual stats are far more strongly correlated with winning than the ones you posted. In other words, what the quarterback is doing individually with regard to those stats is more meaningful to winning in the team game of football than the ones you posted.

So if a QB throws for 5000 yards 30+tds but his defense sucks and have a mediocre record how do those stats make any difference?
 
Pretty impressive. If he gets that TD to INT ratio down we have gold.
 
whatever...i posted those stats to show where Tannehill ranks individually. Your stats correlating to winning are nonsense.

Well now that you put it that way....

can you explain the stat correlation to me? like really...its nonsense. If a QB has great numbers but his defense sucks and the team goes 8-8 how do those stats correlate to winning?
 
Considering the situation, his numbers should be even better. If only he had the help from the run game and o-line.
 
Tanny has improved in many areas in his second year. The next thing he needs to improve on is his record against AFC east. Last year he went 2-4, if he can improve to 3-3 it means a winning record and chance for playoffs.

His biggest test awaits.
