I feel that Tannehill is not nearly as accurate with the deep ball as the other two. Also, his inconsistent technique causes him to miss more sideline passes than he should. He's deadly accurate throwing between the hash marks but that sidearm stuff has got to go. He has a very strong arm.
I see much of the same skill set in Tannehill as I see in RGIII. Like you, I think his game just needs to be refined.
Oh, I agree about the deep ball accuracy Griff especially but Luck too are both better deep ball passer at this point.
But, I wonder how much of that advantage was aided by scheme?
To my eye both Griff/Luck and played in offenses that threw deep more often then A&M so I wonder how much the increased frequency of deep attempts (not to mentions WRs or TE that got w i d e open) created the disparity in deep ball accuracy?
I wish we had access to the numbers for deep passing for college QBs like we do with NFL.
*Shrugs* On some of the sideline passes like the deep comebacks I was puzzled by how often Sherman called them.
It seemed predictable after awhile and I thought the defenses began picking up on that and Tannehill made some poor decisions trying to muscle the ball in there on arm strength.
My point is that I would have no problem with the Skins signing a mid-level, interim QB in FA and taking Tannehill with the 6th pick, if that's what it comes to. If there is no chance for RGIII and the Skins decide to go with Tannehill, I just don't want to see them trade down and miss out on their guy. Let Mel Kiper and others spout off all they want about the Skins "reaching" and whatever other know-it-all stuff they want to say. Just don't miss.Me neither.
I think Parcell's said 'better 1 round early then 1 pick too late'.
My ideal would solutions for the QB position would be:
Peyton Manning + journeyman QB with starters potential+later round developmental rookie QB
here's my thoughts/scenarios for the draft:
o Trade with the Vikings @ 3 for Griffin
o Hope Griffin falls to 6
o Draft Tannehill @ 6
o Trade down/then up for Tannehill
o Take Foles/Weeden in the 2nd round
o Take Osweiler in the 4th knowing most likely he'll need to sit the year, which would require a FA starting QB ^^^^-------------(least favorite option Kirk Cousins)
o Take Wilson with the second 4th rounder or trade up in the 5th (love Wilson)
o complete flyer on Darron Thomas 5th-6th round
