They have a pretty big decision here, because IMO Tannehill isn't ready to be a starter yet. He has the potential to be something special, but he's gotta develop.

What are your opinions?

    Why the sudden need for a college qb to move immediately into the starting lineup? For every Cam Newton there is a Jamarcus Russell. For every Peyton Manning there's a Ryan Leaf. Not counting the 2004 Draft, you're not going to catch lightening in a bottle with first round qbs every year (not counting JP Losman).

    That being said, Tannehill will be a top ten pick, but ideally, he should go to a team that can groom him for a year or two. Let him learn and mature and turn into something because I don't care how good these qb's were in college, they have no idea how fast the NFL game is. Defenses are CRAZY fast. And if you have a tough rookie year, it can set a qb back both developmentally and confidence-wise.

    I agree, especially with all of the QBs in next year's draft, no need to over reach for a QB.

    That being said, go Redskins! Go RG3 lol

    Yes, and their goal of selling more tickets will work, until everyone realizes that Tannehill sucks.

    Tannehill shot up the board based on what he did in a t-shirt and shorts. Nothing he did in college makes him worthy of a 1st round pick. He's more of a late-round project.
