Just curious as to what the perception of him is around the country... being down here, both the good and the bad tend to get exaggerated and blown out of proportion, wanted to get a more fair assessment
Personally, I think he's playing much better than expected despite having the worst receiving corp in the league. He's been up and down, but I think he's shown enough to make the organization feel pretty comfortable with his ability going forward. Reminds me a lot of Bradford's rookie year (hopefully Tannehill progresses at a faster rate than Bradford, though) where the offense was overmatched so you couldn't really assess him unless you watched the games; but thus far, he looks like he has that "it" factor that QB's need to excel. That 4th qtr he played yesterday against a really good defense showed me a lot.
Hopefully we let Reggie and Jake Long walk and use that money to sign either Mike Wallace or Bowe so Tannehill actually has receivers that can get separation. A lot of his picks come from having to force the ball into tight coverage because the WRs just can't shake DBs. Wouldn't mind getting a competent TE either, tired of watching Fasano's slow ass run down the field.
Mike Sherman also needs to take the leash off him already. A lot was made of Tannehill being familiar with the offense as he ran the majority of it in college, but Sherman has been mad conservative prior to yesterday. Dude was a college WR and yet Sherman never calls any designed runs or even just roll outs to move the pocket.

at him being a high first round pick.
.......Of course, Cardinals
