NastyMan Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Tannehill remimds me of Ponder, in that he is a clear 2nd rounder that will likely never develop into a good starter, but some team will desperately reach for him in the first. I'm just hoping it isnt the Bills. Your crazy, the only fact that you got right is he is a second rounder. He is way more athletic then Ponder will ever be and I look at him more as a second rounder like Dalton. If Tannehill is there with our second pick and we don't take him we are the stupid ones.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Seriously? Are you kidding? The guy is still in college and has played a season and a half of football as a QB. He ultimately be better than Fitz in like a half dozen years but the guy has not played against pro competition yet and until he does and succeeds you just don't know. He could be a major major flop. JP Losman and Rob Johnson had Tannenhill's talent.....how did that work out. Guys who are good athletes frequently just cannot cut it in the NFL as QBs. Colt McCoy is really lighting it up too a guy with a good arm and athleticism I said he has more talent than Fitz not that he is a better NFL QB right now. Colt had/has no arm and is a bean pole. Tannehill will be the third ranked QB and taken when the draft comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to take him in the second but just don't think he will be there when our time comes. He may even be gone by our first pick; Cleveland, Washington, Miami all need QBs and the colts may draft one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) After today's game Ryan Tannehill proved why he is a top ten draft pick and come draft time we might not even have chance to draft him, especially with Barkley returning and Landry Jones regressing. I know we have an immense need for a pass rusher and many of us have been clamoring for Coples or Upshaw but those guys just aren't good enough to give us the pass rush we need from a top ten pick. This a QB driven League and with out our own franchise QB we will never be a winning team. Fitz is good but that is all he will ever be and would be a good mentor for Tannehill. Draft risers Ryan Tannehill (6-4, 222), senior, QB, Texas A&M Tannehill’s NFL potential finally took off after winning the starting job during the 2010 season. So far this year, he hasn't disappointed. Tannehill has displayed much better pocket sense. Combined with his foot quickness and athleticism, he moves efficiently to avoid pressure and can re-set, either in the pocket or outside, with accurate throws. He does an excellent job of reading defenses. When he finds open receivers, Tannehill gets rid of the ball quickly and is usually on target. He is more poised than before, and doesn't panic as plays breakdown. Also, he doesn't throw the ball up for grabs to avoid sacks. Tannehill has good arm strength and does a good job of throwing the ball where only the receiver can make a play. For a player who was viewed as a likely fourth-round pick entering the 2011 season, we have heard scouts talk about him being a high second-round pick now. [that will be high first come draft time] Read more: http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/feed/2011-10/nfl-mock-draft/story/aggies-ryan-tannehill-making-most-of-senior-season#ixzz1i9hw3DhO And his Fiancee is hot!!! :w00t: http://www.lostlettermen.com/tannehills-fiancee-hits-internet/ No! He's not a high 1st rounder (maybe bottom 10 for a team that can give him time to develop). If he's there in the 2nd--which a very real possibility--then maybe. Sorry, I'm not convinced. I wouldn't mind Getting their WRs Fuller this year and Swope next year, who remind me of T.O. and Welker respectively. Wow! barbarian, you must a full uniform-wearing Aggie. How many games did they win in a bad conference? By the way, did you hear about the Aggie who got locked out of his car? He spent two hours trying to get his wife and kids out.

NewEra Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 1325374416[/url]' post='2349450']You'll see when he becomes the next Aaron Rodgers. Ponder has done quite well for a rookie and we'd be lucky to have a QB like him on our roster. Now he's the next Aaron Rodgers!!!!! YEAH!!!! I respect your love of the kid. I think he has a chance to be a very good player in this league.....but not the BEST player in the league. If we draft him, I hope you're right. It's doubtful ANY player drafted by the Bills will become the best Qb in the league. We rarely coach players up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(they can take that just orange pc crap and stuff it). Never been to Texas and could care less about A&M I just pick players that I like regardless of school. Fuller will 2-3 rounder and what's wrong with Swope that kid rocks. Now he's the next Aaron Rodgers!!!!! YEAH!!!! I respect your love of the kid.

It's doubtful ANY player drafted by the Bills will become the best Qb in the league. We rarely coach players up. That might be true but he has more physical tools than Rodgers when he came out and is probably smarter. You never now how a player will turn out but we really need a franchise guy and the longer we wait the harder it will be (unless we totally tank next year, which better not happen ) wow nuff said So is that for or against?

DC Grid Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 You'll see when he becomes the next Aaron Rodgers. Ponder has done quite well for a rookie and we'd be lucky to have a QB like him on our roster. Ponder has done quite well?? You mean the guy who's the 30th ranked qb. The guy who's led his team to 2 wins with an equally good, if not better, supporting cast on offense that Fitz has, and a more talented defense? The guy whose amassed the following stat line below? The guy the Vikings might replace with RG3 THIS draft??? 54% completion rate, 1825 yards, 13 tds, 12 ints.....pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Tannehill is a third round pick at best, and its a sit and wait thing too.

But I was also hoping to hear other people's impressions of his game today. I've talked about so much before I didn't want to rehash all that stuff. He looked good today making clutch throws and good decision making whether throwing it away or running for yardage. The only bad thing I can see about him is he can force some balls for turnovers but with more experience that will improve. If His recievers didn't drop so many balls his stats would have been a lot better. The biggest problem with him this year was his defense stunk and the running game was terrible so having to carry the team he did exceptionally well.

Chilly Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Oh my Jesus no. Tannehill is not a good quarterback right now. I watched him play vs my horns the past two years, and he has a bad release, and can easily be confused. I saw two very different Texas Defensive Coordinators shut him down and force bad games. He'll be out of the NFL, or on his second team before he finally picks up the pro game. I don't want to be the one to draft him. He's extremely raw and is a JP Losman - lots of physical skill but lacks most else. Edited January 1, 2012 by BlueFire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the Texas Fan, I've seen at least ten of his games and he makes good decisions as today's announcers emphasized, is smart, already graduated and was a Campbell trophy finalist (academic Heisman). "A three-time First Team Academic All-Big 12 scholar, Tannehill graduated cum laude with a degree in biology and plans to study medicine after his football career is complete. The 2010 CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-District selection has been named an A&M Athletics Scholar four times; a member of the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll four times and received the "Outstanding Scholar" designation from Texas A&M for posting a 4.0 GPA." http://www.footballfoundation.org/nff/biography/3828/ryan-tannehill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
