PFT: Tannehill turning heads early in Dolphins camp

Since I started the thread For now, Tannehill a distant third in Dolphins QB competition, I figured it only fair to start this thread as well lol...

Dolphins first-round pick Ryan Tannehill missed two days of camp due to a contract hangup. But the No. 8 overall draft pick maintains confidence that he’ll get a legitimate opportunity to win his team’s starting quarterback job.

The first step in upsetting veterans Matt Moore and David Garrard would be outplaying them on the practice field. And Tannehill is off to a promising start.

Per Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post, it’s been “hard not to notice” how effective Tannehill has been throwing the football through a few days of training camp. Volin says Tannehill has showed “good velocity, accuracy, and anticipation.” Coach Joe Philbin relayed that Tannehill had 53 “competitive snaps” in Sunday’s practice — just a day after he signed his contract — and the rookie passer completed “over 40″ of his throws.

“For a rookie quarterback,” Philbin confirmed, “I think he’s doing very well.”

It's always a bit comical when the writers start throwing around the completions/attempts statistics during the first week of training camp.

His wife is the only one turning heads.

He's got an uphill battle needing to beat out Moore and Garrard. Moore was an effective, albeit unspectacular, starter last season. Garrard took the year off but had been a starter for the previous five season in Jacksonville. I don't see how Tannehill, who was drafted for his upside potential more than his current ability, has a chance of winning the starting job. I also don't think it matters if he fails to do so, it's probably better for him to sit and learn as the 3rd string QB.

damnit beat me to it

Damn we should have drafted Tannehill over RG3 he is taller.

If he doesn't turn the right heads (coaches) as QB, he could always be used as a receiver.

You betcha...

Ok, for the life of me I can't understand what the deal with his wife is. She is a very pretty woman. That's it.

There is absolutely nothing special (to me), stunning, interesting about her at all. If I saw her in public, I'd go "hey, she's really good looking" and move on.

And aside from being fit, she doesn't even have a great (curvy) body.

I really don't get it

Looks kinda like Jessica Simpson.

“For a rookie quarterback,” Philbin confirmed, “I think he’s doing very well.”

"For a 30 year old," Philbin confirmed, "I think he's doing very well."

More of a pot shot at Ryan than anything else.

Since when is Ryan Tannehill 30?
