Dolphins OC Mike Sherman says Ryan Tannehill will be the "most improved quarterback from year one to year two."
"I promise you that," Sherman added. Tannehill studied all of his rookie snaps and pointed to his footwork as being fundamentally unsound, leading to far too many errant passes. He also needs to be better on third downs, as Tannehill's 65.3 rating was lowest among qualifying quarterbacks. The additions of Mike Wallace, Brandon Gibson, and Dustin Keller should help, but Tannehill won't be any more than a QB2 in fantasy as a sophomore. May 12 - 10:12 AM

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Despite not matching the impressive seasons of fellow rookie quarterbacks, the Dolphins remain excited about Ryan Tannehill's potential.

Tannehill averaged 216 passing yards in his 15 complete games with a 12:13 TD-to-INT ratio, stats that pale in comparison to Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, and Russell Wilson. However, coach Joe Philbin believes Tannehill can make a big jump in his second year. Philbin was particularly impressed by Tannehill's awareness. "Sometimes you’ll ask a guy, ‘Was it man or zone? Did they blitz?’ Some guys kind of give you the blank look, but Ryan’s been very aware and in tune to what’s happening on the field," said Philbin.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

After a solid-if-unspectacular rookie season, Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland stated that Ryan Tannehill still has a "long way to go."

Ireland has "a long way to go" himself when it comes to evaluating offensive skill-position players. It's been a glaring weakness throughout his Dolphins GM stint and held back Tannehill in 2012. "Accuracy, ball placement, getting the ball out faster and tempo," were the areas to which Ireland pointed when discussing where Tannehill must improve as a sophomore NFLer.

Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland said he's got to find Ryan Tannehill some "help" on offense.

"We've got to get him help. Maybe its (O-line) help. We've got to score TDs. That's what we didn't do enough of," said Ireland. Miami seems pretty set at the offensive line aside from a tackle with Jake Long headed for free agency, but they desperately could use a receiver or four. Ireland is fully expected to make a run at one or maybe even two of Dwayne Bowe, Mike Wallace, and Greg Jennings in free agency.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill completed 20-of-35 passes for 235 yards and an interception as the Dolphins fell to the Patriots in Week 17.

Tannehill finishes a rookie season what was quite a bit more impressive than the box-score stats indicate with a 12:13 TD-to-INT ratio on 282-of-484 passing (58.3 percent) for 3,249 yards (6.81 YPA). Tannehill is an impressive athlete with plenty of arm strength and accuracy, and his stats would've been far better if GM Jeff Ireland had any clue of how to evaluate skill-position talent. The Dolphins need one big-time outside receiver, and perhaps two, with Brian Hartline scheduled for free agency. Davone Bess isn't going to get it done.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill completed 13-of-25 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Bills.

He added six carries for 44 yards. Both of Tannehill's touchdowns were to Reggie Bush, and he completed just two passes to top-target Brian Hartline. However, Tannehill didn't throw any interceptions for the fourth straight week and his 31-yard scramble set up the Dolphins' second touchdown. He'll look to stay hot when the Dolphins take on the Patriots in Week 17.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill completed 22-of-28 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns as the Dolphins downed the Jaguars in Week 15.

He added eight rushes for 52 yards. A lost fumble was Tannehill's lone turnover. Tannehill spread the ball around effectively to eight different receivers, even without Davone Bess (back), and kept the chains moving all day with plenty of time to throw against a pass rush-bereft Jacksonville defense. Tannehill's TD-to-INT ratio on the season improves to 10:12. He's going to be a fantasy asset when the Dolphins acquire better receivers. Miami hosts Buffalo in Week 16.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill completed 17-of-33 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown, and rushed three times for 25 yards as the Dolphins fell to the 49ers in Week 14.

Tannehill only accepted two sacks -- both by OLB Aldon Smith -- in Jake Long's first missed game. The rookie quarterback kept his team in the game until late in the fourth quarter, when Colin Kaepernick busted a back-breaking 50-yard rushing score. Tannehill almost seems to trust his receivers too much; he keeps his eyes downfield and relies on them to make plays on 50:50 balls. Unfortunately, Miami's pass-catching corps is perhaps the least talented in football and loses those battles more often than not. Tannehill will only be a low-end two-quarterback league play in Week 15 against Jacksonville.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer believes Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill is going to be "an absolute rock star in this league, but it may take a little bit longer than some other places."

"Is he going to struggle, even next year? Absolutely, he's going to struggle a little bit," Dilfer said. "They're not an overly talented offense. Because of that, it's harder for the quarterback to be successful." Rotoworld's Chris Wesseling still ranks Tannehill higher than fellow rookies Russell Wilson or Brandon Weeden in Dynasty formats.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill completed 13-of-29 passes for 186 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Dolphins' Week 13 loss to the Patriots.

Tannehill salvaged his fantasy day with an athletic two-yard touchdown run on a naked bootleg in the second quarter. However, he was woefully erratic with his arm, especially struggling early on with a wet ball. Tannehill has now thrown one touchdown pass or less all but one game this season. He's on pace for 3,412 yards, nine touchdowns and 16 interceptions heading into next week's brutal matchup at San Francisco.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill completed 18-of-26 passes for 253 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Dolphins' Week 12 win over the Seahawks.

It was arguably Tannehill's finest performance of the season. He was in total command of the offense, orchestrating two 80-yard touchdown drives and then a 65-yard drive that led to Dan Carpenter's 43-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. In the fourth quarter, Tannehill was 7-of-8 for 156 yards and a score. Still, we should be able to do better for QB2 options at this point. Tannehill's 33 rushing yards were fluky and he has just seven touchdown passes in 11 games this year.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill completed just 14-of-28 passes for 141 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in Thursday night's Week 11 defeat at the hands of the Bills.

Tannehill has hit the rookie wall with full force of late, and since the Week 7 bye, he's completed just 55 percent of his passes to go along with two touchdowns and five interceptions. Both of Tannehill's picks came in the closing minutes while attempting a comeback. The touchdown score came with 8:48 left in the fourth quarter and went to Davone Bess from two yards out to pull Miami within five points. Tannehill will have 10 days to rest up a knee that is sure to still be bothering him before taking on the Seahawks in Week 12.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill completed 23-of-39 passes for 217 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions in the Dolphins' Week 10 loss to the Titans.

This was Tannehill's worst performance since getting embarrassed by the Texans' defense in Week 1. The fact that it came at home against the Titans' secondary previously 27th-ranked makes it a little scary. Tannehill's decisions were atrocious and he racked up most of his yardage after the Dolphins fell behind 31-3 in the third quarter. He has a good spot to bounce back as a QB2 candidate in Buffalo next week.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Tannehill played with the injury last week, so his status was never in doubt. Rotoworld's Chris Wesseling ranks Tannehill 18th among fantasy quarterbacks for Week 10, one spot ahead of Jake Locker.

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill (knee, quad) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

Tannehill's injury is more of a pain tolerance issue. He'll likely wear a brace on the left knee once again this week, but he has high-end QB2 upside against Tennessee's terrible pass defense.
