Palmetto Proving Grounds

another Ted Ginn Jr. WTF

Fellow DolFAN here. I feel if we give Tannehill the necessary time to develope behind Matt Moore/ Garrard ( former Pro Bowl QB) then he could turn out to be a Great NFL QB. All the intangibles are there and I stayed up late last night watching film on him and I came away with this.

- Comes from Pro Style offense that allowed him to progress through his reads which will benefit him early on in his career. Learning Curve won't be as high as a normal QB ( RGIII has alot to learn )
- Keeps his eyes downfield and is always looking to make a play whether it be with his feet or Arm
- will benefit from playing reciever ( and a successful one at that) because he will be able to read coverages all that much better
- Finally having a familiar face with Sherman will make the transition to NFL all that much more easier

Overall we needed to finally take a QB In first round and I think he is substantially better than ( Ponder Gabbert and Locker) who were all taken around same time last year.

If we can address WR or LB ( pass rusher) in early 2nd tomorow and wait for OL and TE in 3rd I would call it a successful draft.

Ideal Day 2 for me
2 Alshon Jeffery
3 Zebrie Sanders
3 Orlsen Charles

I don't think he is better than any of the Qbs from the first round last year. I think he is comparable to Gabbert and is a major reach, just like Gabbert was.

Almost? It was worse. Weeden is a better QB and they didn't draft him in the top 10. They took him at 22, which is a stretch, but not nearly as much so as Tannehill.

It's almost as bad because Cleveland drafted their second QB of the future two years apart. Cleveland sucks, but so do the Fins. Cleveland could have likely drafted Weeden 2nd round with one of their three picks.

Dont get me wrong I am not a full Tannehill supported but at the same time if the only knock on him is that he has started only 19 games at the collegiate level then I'll take that. SCAM only had 14 ( and in no way am I comparing him to CAM) but the difference between Tannehill and other QBs drafted in 1st round last year is he will not be thrown into the fire right away. He walks into an ideal situation where his former Head Coach is OC and he can learn from Veteran QBs.

I was all for drafting an immediate playmaker starter with the 8th pick but we were overdue for taking a QB in first round. Only two QBs taken in first round by DOLpins have turned into HOF ( Marino, Griese ) I'll take my chances.

And by the way the fact that his Wife is probably the hottest thing East of the mississippi doesn't hurt at all.

Just 2 preface I didn't read any comments but until ownership changes we'll suck!

You're assuming a lot when you assume Sherman will stick around for awhile. He's never really been that successful on any level. Not horrible, but evidence suggests he's not good either.

Not a Dolphins fan...but my beef with the Tannyhill pick is that if Barkley, L. Jones, or Tyler Wilson had come out after their Junior years...Tannyhill would be a 2nd round pick AT BEST.

Why reach for a developmental player so early, when you can upgrade other positions like ALL OF THEM (minus LT), still suck next year, and get a true franchise QB. JMHO

I said "casual Miami fans," not diehards/knowledgable fans. Maybe that's the difference...

Letting someone like Sherman who has never done squat decide your pick is a bad idea. Hiring Sherman in itself was a bad enough mistake.

No, they really did not. Why would you have to break a thirty year streak by drafting someone that isn't a legitimate first round pick? That's just dumb.

He might work out, who knows, but they over paid.
