Hmm... yet, career wise, TD to INT, Tannehill is 123:75 Bridgewater is 29:23.TB has already shown the ability to do things Tannehill did not. He makes more NFL-level throws into tight windows and is better at anticipation throws.
I wouldn't call 3230 yds 14 tds 9 ints "rolling".Here’s a great article on TB’s improvement his first two years in Minnesota (he started at the age of 21) and how TB really started rolling when Norv Turner finally went away from his old-school 7-step drop backs and went with more of a modern offense (much closer to what SP runs).
He's not in Kansas (or Kentucky) anymore. The way he throws picks, I don't know...TB is also incredibly smart. He was given full control of the Louisville offense as a freshman. His ability to read defenses quickly is outstanding. Again, a huge plus in an SP offense.
I'll take your word for it.RT also let pressure affect him much more adversely. That was his biggest downfall. They both take a lot of sacks, but TB showed improvement there and didn’t let it affect the next play/series nearly as much as Tannehill.
Payton says a lot of things, but ok.Most importantly, SP has identified something special in TB and wants him. He has seen a lot more of TB since the injury and in our offense than anyone outside the building and he wants him to be our guy. His words.
These are the Dolphins we are talking about, right?On the other hand, SP wanted nothing to do with RT, and the Dolphins, whose new head of personnel has been here for Tannehill’s entire career, just let him go after watching him virtually every day in practice and in games.
Ok.So I’m pretty confident in my stance on the two players.
