Nobody said bring in a QB from the outside and expect him to start this Sunday over Haener or Rattler.
However, 9 days is plenty of time for a 12 year Veteran like Tannehill to come in and learn enough of the playbook to be able to play in the system if called upon.
I agree with this but the question in my OP was more related to the depth in the QB room while Carr is out and also not having a "camp arm" for the scout team.
