Tannehill's Stats through Week 7 - 2013/2014

[KillerDolphins]

As of today (end of week 7) Ryan Tannehill has been sacked 14 times.
At the end of week 7 in 2013, Ryan Tannehill was sacked 26 times.

I believe these stats indicate that Mr. Tannehill is becoming more comfortable in the pocket because he has more time. This tells me he has more time to go through his check downs during plays. These stats also indicate that he's improving as a QB. Not drastically improving, but improving. I think this shows us he hasn't peaked and that the sky's the limit. The Dolphins did a better job this season of getting offensive linemen that can protect him better.


2013 - 9 TD's / 7 Int's / 51.4% Completion Rating / 71.2 QB Rating
2014 - 10 TD's / 5 Int's / 63.3% Completion Rating / 87.8 QB Rating

and last year was his 1000th year in mike sherman's system, versus this year when he is 6 games into lazor's system (only the second offense he has ever had to learn). he is just scratching the surface.

Sometimes you need to just dump off the ball on a hot read. The immediate dump off when facing a blitz and the downfield pass (no passes this year 40 yards or over) are two areas that could catapult his rating and help us win more games. If he can get those two things corrected, the next thing would be working on refining his accuracy and game management. There were times this week while we had a comfortable lead and he didn't use the full clock.

You watch RT play and it's easy to see that he's still developing as a QB.

No question.

Which is one reason not to go all Debbie-downer-WV-lemming-leap mode when he doesn't perform at an all-Pro level. He's developing as a QB, finally w. some good coaching in a good system.

Lots of upside. You gotta love UPSIDE if you are a Fin Fan -- because for years we've focused on having "consistent" players w. zero upside.

Perennial 8-8 or worse like that.

Now w. Landry and Wallace and RT, we're getting some offensive talent w. upside. It feels good!

I'm still a little misty eyed after completing 2 screen passes (3, if you count that one where they invented a penalty against Hartline)

YPA and AYPA are the two stats I focused on heading into the season. The first three weeks were scary bad, but the last three have been overall very good (his AYPA against GB was not so good).

It's a long year, and he'll have every opportunity to prove that he should be the long-term QB for Miami.

Just for what it's worth, his ANY/A against Green Bay was actually pretty good... compared to what Green Bay has allowed overall. GB has been allowing only a 4.2 ANY/A against other QBs, and Tannehill managed a 5.8. So while I agree that he wasn't GREAT against Green Bay, he was actually well above average against what is statistically the best pass defense in the NFL in that category.

Oakland has been allowing 7.1 ANY/A and Chicago 5.6 against QBs other than Tannehill. 8.8 and 8.2 respectively against them for RT. That Chicago pass defense is actually not bad. They have done a good job rushing the QB and creating takeaways, and we did most of the damage while Fuller was in the game. I am encouraged.

He has been playing well above average compared to his peers the last three weeks. This is a good sign. :)
