Question about Tannehill
I really like Ryan Tannehill, but I only watched so much A&M.
Isn't it true he had his worst games against good competition? |

I'm going to take the silence I'm facing as an "oh shit, you mean he isn't a surefire franchise QB?"

I'm pretty neutral on Tannehill, but doesn't it stand to reason that players would have their best games against inferior competition and vice versa?

I typically gravitate towards players that play their best when they are needed the most. Players like Luck and (get ready for my new thrill this offseason) Brandon Weeden do that. Tannehill has not displayed that ability to my mind. I think he had a pretty good game against LSU, and every other good team he's faced, he tanked. |

I like Russell Wilson, but don't want to touch him because he's 25. Weeden is 28 FFS. |

I just think this guy is a talent. If he was 25 he'd be a 2nd rounder. If the Chiefs are going to march onto the field with Cassel, or Manning, or Matt Flynn, they're going to have Ricky Stanzi at backup. As of now, that's not enough; this staff currently has no faith in Stanzi. I'd take Weeden in a backup role if the value was right. |

Russell Wilson just turned 23 in November. He's also about 5'10.

Stanzi had 3 major tests in conference in 2010, a Big-10 Conference in which Stanzi has started for 3 seasons...and these teams have a book on him. Facing Wisconsin (11-2), Michigan State (11-2) and Ohio State (12-1), Stanzi put up the following stats: 7 Passing TDs and NO Interceptions The elite QBs of the NFL threw for between 15-19 Pass Attempts per Passing TD in "key" games, and some QBs hit as low (good) as 10-12 Pass Attempts per Passing TD. Stanzi averaged a very low (good) 11.9 Passing TDs per Pass Attempts in these 3 big matchups Besides a stellar/perfect NO interceptions in these big 3 games, Stanzi hit on a 67.4% Completion Percentage as well Iowa/Stanzi played the Arizona Wildcats this season, coached by defensive guru Mike Stoops. Stoops/Arizona only allowed two QBs to throw for 3+ TDs in a game against them this season -- not Andrew Luck (he had 2), but it was Oregon's Darron Thomas and yes...Ricky Stanzi. |

His Senior season (2010), he threw a couple of nice TDs late in the 3rd and the Hawkeye defense scored a TD to tie it up in the 4th. Then the defense collapsed, gave up an 80-yard sustained drive and Arizona sacked Stanzi like 2 or 3 times when they were in Hail Mary mode. The 2009 game was the one where he threw the early pick 6 and dug the hole. They actually came back and won that game, |

Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill's foot injury suffered in pre-draft preparation is reportedly a fracture.
No recovery timetable was given, but this is surely an injury that will sideline Tannehill for the Senior Bowl and February's Combine. It'd probably be a stretch to expect him to run or jump for NFL scouts before the draft at all. Tannehill was expected to be a pre-draft riser because he's a tall, mobile, and strong-armed quarterback with a high upside. At least from a workout perspective, he's not going to have that opportunity now. |

I don't like Tannehill in the first b/c I don't see him as better than Stanzi.
