#1. Ryan Tannehill – QB – Miami Dolphins

At number 1 on my list, the Quarterback of the Miami Dolphins, Ryan Tannehill. It seems like every season, the Dolphins are bringing in somebody, or are looking at a way to make Ryan Tannehill more successful in Miami. I’m one of the many that are calling an end to this project.

As the 8th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Ryan Tannehill was drafted to be the Franchise Quarterback to bring the Dolphins back into relevancy. And to many measures, he has not been bad. In fact, he has shown great progress every season as an NFL Quarterback. Considering he was a Wide Receiver for half of his time at Texas A&M, and converted, a little time to adjust is fine.

In 2015, Tannehill threw for 4,208 yards, 24 TD’s and 12 INT’s, and a QBR of 89.2. He was also able to do this with a below average offensive line and has never had a strong rushing attack throughout is time in South Beach.

Tannehill has a very strong arm, is elusive in the pocket, makes good reads, and can run when needed. But through his years in Miami, he has become the main scapegoat for why the Dolphins aren’t better. The team’s success is placed on his shoulders, and it just doesn’t seem like he is going to lead them to the promise land.

Rumors are already circulating that the Dolphins are looking to draft a Quarterback in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. If there is a time for Tannehill to make a splash, it’s now, and it’s not on Miami Beach.

Potential Fits: Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers
