I am sitting here watching the Thursday night game and found myself saying Tanny would have completed that pass or Tanny would have ran that in for a TD. And the more I think about it, Tannehill is a better all around QB. He has a stronger arm, a more accurate throw and is more athletic. While he doesn't have the same amount of experience, and may not have the same football smarts, that will come in time.
But if I was to choose, I pick Tannehill!!
Been saying this forever, Matt Ryan is a good QB, but he is far from great, if his talent does not help him, he is not going to succeed....Tannehill has had games with little talent around him, and still succeeded.

Give me a call when Tannehill throws for 4,700 yards, 32 touchdowns and only 14 picks in a season; not to forget the 22 game winning drives in his first five years.
Matt Ryan is a stud. He's having difficulty adjusting without his #1 receiver and injury prone #2. Atlanta's oline is also a shamble, not quite as bad as ours, yet he's still got 18 touchdowns to 12 picks. If Atlanta had our defense I think they'd be significantly better than 2-8.
That being said, I like what Tannehill brings to the table and I think he is our guy. But you're putting down a top 5 QB based on his performance against the same Saints team that embarrassed the guy who you're praising.
I will personally do you one better, I will call you once Tannehill wins more then just 1 playoff game.
