I know, I know, he's on perhaps the worst team in the league with inept management and minor league talent surrounding him. BUT, from what I have seen of the guy, and from what I have read about him, Tannehill seems like he can be a future stud in the NFL and fantasy.
The two experts whose opinions I respect most, Todd McShay and Mike Mayock, both pegged him as a QB with all the tools and intangibles to be a franchise QB. Mayock on Tannehill. McShay on Tannehill Although Mayock said he thought he was at least a year away, it seems that he has adapted to the NFL quicker than many expected, including his coaches. Also, Greg Cosell, whose stock as a scout and game-tape-examiner-extraordinaire rises exponentially every day, has a ton of great things to say about Tannehill. Most of his criticisms can be attributed to Tannehill's relatively recent switch to playing QB, and can be fixed with proper coaching. Cosell on Tannehill
So the experts say he is capable of good if not great things, and from what he has done in OTAs and the preseason there is no reason his stock should have gone anywhere but up. He has exhibited a strong arm, excellent pocket presence, and the athleticism we all knew he had. Beyond that, when watching him it is evident he has leadership abilities, and that swagger that is necessary for most successful QBs.
Bottom line, I am on the Ryan Tannehill bandwagon, and I suggest you get on before you have to pay anymore to get him. I understand I am working off a very limited and perhaps meaningless sample size, but from what I can tell he passes the eye test and will succeed in the NFL. I think many people are writing him off due to his supporting cast, but things change very quickly in the NFL. Plus, the mark of a great QB is that he elevates the play of all those around him. So, if you're buying Tannehill like I am, his surrounding cast should not be too big of a concern.
I am predicting a Sam Bradford-esque rookie year, and this would lead to his value going way up this offseason. Get on board before it's too late!
