    I don't know about you guys, but I'm really interested to see if he can make all the throws and how well his foot is healing.

    I read he was 65/68, with two drops. So he only misfired on one throw.

    Honest question: Does it matter a whole lot how he threw? If he absolutely sucked, it's a bit concerning, but if not, then not all that important. He's expected to do well in a scripted setting.

    Well like you said, if he sucked it would have hurt his stock. But doing well doesn't really help his stock. It still is important though because like you pointed out if he sucked than his stock would have dropped a lot.

    Im sure he was still under some pressure to perform, but I agree it doesn't prove alot relative to the most important attribute a QB needs on my opinion wich is decision making, and the ability to improvise.

    IMO it only helps people validate the tingly feeling they already have about him. If they don't have that feeling, then they'll likely say, "Nice job, but this really didn't prove much to me.", no?

    Not a chance. Freeman has at least 2 more years before Tampa gives up on him.

    No were safe from them. Freeman is still a tantalizing prospect. The bigger worry is we are an obvious landing spot so anyone willing to spend the price knows to trade in front of us to get him.

    How he throws is important in a couple regards.

    1. Velocity/arm strength. I want to know he has zip and can put air under the deep balls.
    2. Accuracy. Even moreso with the WCO.
    3. Footwork. Good footwork is the first key to good mechanics.

    His 40 time was encouraging, He showed good confidence with his throws, and he made all of them. He definitely has the tools

    In addition:
    After his performance at the Texas A&M pro day on Thursday, I think there’s a very good chance that QBRyan Tannehill can be a top pick in the NFL Draft in April.
    The skillset that he showed was really, really good. He had an outstanding workout. He moves around well, he’s got accuracy, he’s got good velocity on the ball. It’s just going to be how people see him, as to where he’s going to get drafted. He has excellent ability and skills. He put on a show today.
    Tannehill threw 68 passes in a scripted workout coordinated by Chris Weinke, a former NFL QB who has been training Tannehill recently. A&M players Jeff Fuller and Cyrus Gray served as Tannehill’s receivers.
    Fifteen of his passes were on the goal line, and the rest were on the 30-yard line going downfield. He missed one long pass and had two drops; otherwise, he was perfect. He also ran the 40-yard dash in 4.62 seconds, running it just once.
    As good as his performance was, it did take place “against air,” so to speak. There were no defensive backs there; nobody was engaging receivers coming off the line. But he spins the ball well; it comes out of his hand quickly. He does all of the things you look for on the field. If he works at the off-the-field preparation, like I think he will, I think he has a chance to be a very good NFL quarterback.
    Dolphins coach Joe Philbin, along with GM Jeff Ireland, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and a large contingent from the Cleveland Browns, including offensive coordinator Brad Childress, were among the personnel on hand from 21 teams. I think that everybody that was here, all of the coaches that were there, were pleased with what they saw.

    I think the point was that this was a franchise QB level display. That was pretty much everybody's opinion. They almost all also agree that he's not ready to start immediately. I just don't understand the thinking that a consensus franchise level QB is not worth a top ten pick if he isn't ready to start year one.

    Agreed if he can't start right away he is not worth a top 10 pick. Now if we can slide down and get him I'm all for it.

    No, I'm saying I don't agree. I don't draft for year one. I'm drafting for the best players in year 3 and beyond.

    I don't think they went and got Gerard to then draft another qb, David, Matt, pat and a first round pick???

    Not saying Tannehill would be my first pick but I would be okay with it if we slid down and took him. Honestly I want Barkley next season I just don't know if its possible.

    First of all....not a single one of those QBs you listed keep you from drafting a QB in the first. Especially a undrafted free agent that is on the PC and a QB that didn't play last year and wasn't great to begin with.

    I think that waiting to draft a QB next year is generally a mistake. The decision should always be about whether or not the guy you're looking at this year is worth the pick.

    Only the way I would draft for next year is to knowing you are going to suck bad and get to draft Barkley. But didn't we go through that last year with SFL?

    IMO it's humorous listening to the portion of fans who went from shouting "let's ditch this season to be in position to draft Barkley".... to immediately shouting "let's ditch this season, too, to be in position to draft Barkley".

    Forget about trying to compete and win games! We'd rather watch coach Philbin crumble in failure and the team & organization completely collapse upon itself so that we can hopefully be in the position to draft the top rated QB who may never become a franchise guy. :wacko: I just wish I had a rubber hose long enough to smack everyone of these fans without having to leave my living room.

    The thing about Philbin is this; if Ross gives him time, he'll win big in Miami.

    Id say apart from colossal failure he should get a good 3 to 5 years before the major heat is on. I think philbin is likely more of ross's guy than sparano was..no parcells in the picture to weigh in

    Edit: and to stay on topic i do find myself more intriqued by tannehill daily, i just hope it is justified

    That's why I hate to hear fans say things like, "I've waited 30 years, so I have a right to be impatient". What happened in the past is irrelevant to an evaluation of what Philbin is doing now.

    Joe Philbin to me is the epitome of winning. I see something cyclical happening with what happened in GB. He's going to nurture a young QB like Tannehill the way he did with Rodgers, all the while building the requisite parts and keeping that defense ticking over.

    Think we'll make a play for Tannehill or wait for him at 8 and hope?

    I really believe that the skill set is there. If both are given enough time, I believe Philbin can turn Tannehill into the next Rodgers.

    I think the question that people should be asking is not "should we take Tannehill at 8" but "should we move up to 3 to get him"?

    I do think the Browns like Richardon, but RB is such a low value position, can you really justify spending a top 5 pick and passing over a potential franchise QB for one? Can he be as good as Peterson?

    There is also the point that if any other teams are eyeballing him, they know they will need to make a trade with the Vikes or Jags most likely.

    We have heard lots of people chiming in saying they would give up 3 first round picks for Luck, or give up 2 for RG3 or whatever. What price would be to much to trade with Minny?

    Unless I'm mistaken, both Matt and David only have a year remaining on their contracts. And a pick of Ryan Tannehill is probably for 2013.

    Well, the draft value chart would suggest roughly this: Swap the first round picks, then give up our second and 2 thirds. That is alot. It boils down to just how strongly you feel about Tannehill, and how likely you feel the Browns will take him.

    Well, if we take Tannehill, one of those two is not likely to be in Miami for the 2012 season.

    With all the holes this team has it would be suicide.

    If he goes before us, you either take someone like Ingram or Richardson or Reiff and then you go with Moore/Garrard, draft a kid later on and come back next year when you have Barkley and Logan Thomas and Casey Pachall and Travis Wilson and the kid from Tennessee, etc.

    IMO all the speculation about Cleveland taking Tannehill at 4 is like the plethora of reports last year regarding Washington wanting to trade up into the top 5 for Blaine Gabbert. At the end of the day Washington traded back and let Jax take Gabbert at their #10 spot. It makes for good news and excitement.
