Why is everyone in LOVE with Tannehill? I know he is a rookie, but he has not impressed me thus far. His passes are not precise, his decisions are often questionable.  Can someone please explain why Moore is not starting? Moore is a better passer, makes solid decisions, and led us last season to multiple wins.  So why is Tannehill starting?
I am sure that Tannehill will be a good, possibly even a great quarterback eventually, but I feel that he should be holding the clip board this season as MOST rookie QB's do.

He has no one to throw it to. He has good arm strength and for the most part, limits his mistakes, which is key as a rookie. This was a lost season anyway, so let him get 16 games under his belt to get the kinks out of the way and then give him some receivers in 2013.

A lot of his INT's were just forced throws because no one was open. With some learning under his belt, he will just throw those out of bounds or in the dirt instead of into a crowded area.

The 2012 Dolphins were not predicted to be/nor are they a playoff caliber team.  Hence, it's a perfect time to start a rookie QB to get him experience.  I don't believe most on this board are in "LOVE" with him to use your terminology, however they do recognize his potential and he is the most positive long term option this team has seen at the position in decades.

Maybe Ireland should start drafting qb's and not rbs playing qb (pat white) or wr playing qb (tannehill)

After last week's blow up thread with Badger, and this comment, I'm obviously not alone. -EK

Actually, a lot of his INTs were tipped balls- just like in college. The things he did great at A&M, he still does great. The things he did poorly there, he has not improved upon. -EK

When I use the term "LOVE" what I am trying to say is that announcers, the analysts for the half time programs, and coaches seem to praise him.  I feel badly for Moore because I really thought he deserved a shot.  (Before anyone says that Tannehill WON the job, don't) He came from the same offensive scheme which gave him an edge.  I don't HATE the guy like I want him to have a career ending injury or anything like that... from what I've seen I was more impressed with Moore. C'mon, Tannehill throws multiple interceptions and you still leave him in. (Weeks past) I am just frustrated and tired of waiting for a quality QB, Coach, and team. I keep hearing year AFTER year that this is a rebuilding season.  How many seasons are we going to throw away as "rebuilding" seasons?  Somebody please talk John Gruden into coming to Miami to coach. Chucky WE NEED YOU!

Who are THESE rookie QB's that hold clipboards these days? Please share
Wilson
Weeden
Luck
RGII
Newton
Flacco
Ryan
Gabbert
Dalton
Bradford
Sanchez

Who sits QB's? The only 2 that come to mind are Locker and Ponder. Ok, 2 sat as rookies for a bit. And almost everyone else starts.
