This article is stating hat Ryan Tannehill is the biggest x factor going in to this year and I tend to agree. We have added a lot of weapons such as Mike Wallace to take the top of opposing defenses, Dustin Keller to stretch the middle of the field so things Wallace isn't constantly double covered. In addition we added a premier right tackle in Tyson Clabo. As far as left tackle goes I think Jon Martin will be fine.
At any case all of this additions and positive energy are irrelevant if Ryan Tannehill doesn't take the next step forward. I believe he will for the following reasons. First he has the emotional make up I have honestly never seen him get rattled since last season, to this point in OTAs. He had an interview with the NFL Network the other day and I am very happy with the way he handled every question. Ryan really looks like he is coming out of his shell. Secondly he is very smart and his command of the offense is his strength. He has been in it since college. To top it of the physical tools have never been in question. I think this year the coaching staff will let him loose a bit more as far as letting him use his mobility and so forth.
All in all everything hinges on his shoulders. After all he was the 8th overall pick last year. He had a great year as he broke all the rookie records. I think this year is going to be special, I am confident with a year under his belt Ryan will be able to maximize not only his but all of his new weapons potentials. He will make everyone around him better. Isn't this what a franchise quarterback is supposed to do?
