Tannehill did.

One thing I can't deny is that he faced some really good defensive teams in a short time as a starting QB at Texas A&M.

The other thing that's weird with Tannehill: in the first half of 2011, he rushed for 231 yards on 29 carries and three TDs. In the second half of 2011, he rushed for 75 yards on 29 carries and one TD.

Tannehill was a completely different player in the second half of the season, and I have no idea why that was
Not to be trivial but perhaps he was injured in some way...or did he lose some weapons due to injury? If there aren't any extenuating circumstances than I too would be concerned with a sudden unexplained decline in play.
