Coming out, it was never a debate if he would be good or not, the debate was how long would take for him to fully develop since he picked the position up late.  The  top 3 QB's were Luck-RG3-Tannehill.

I had Wilson far ahead of Tannehill coming out, I thought Tannehill was a 3rd-4th round pick mainly do to lack of much starting experience, I had Wilson was a late 1st to 2nd round pick somewhere, the arm talent was always there for both QB's but Wilson had much more experience

Yeah, now we know that Wilson was the 3rd best QB in that draft, but most boards had Tannehill as the 3rd best QB.

Love Tannenhill. He may end up being the best of that QB class over time. He certainly has a very good team behind him.

Anyone notice a trend with AM and her affection for the "pretty boy" qbs. Just so happens Brady and Tannenhill are likely two of the best looking qbs in the league.

 

I do think Tannenhill is playing good and really thought Cleveland should have taken him instead of trading up for Trent. They could have taken Doug Martin instead if they thought they needed a back that badly...or maybe Trent would have still been available.

RW....Drew Brees 2.0 in the making. A great offensive line/running game is a big help along with a devastating defense. But his arm and between the ears the kid just has it.

QBs have to be leaders, and the development of chemistry in their team is entirely up to them. They lead by example, with the time they put in with the playbook and working out with their offensive players. While credibility is instantly granted to the likes of Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, the newbies will have to earn it with their actions much like the elite ones did at some point in time.

 

I think Tannehill can do so. It is also important to surround a guy like that with good character players that are willing to put in the time too. In an interview I saw on NFL Network (man-to-man show where he was interviewed by Michael Irvin and Luck was interviewed by Marshall Faulk), RW said that you need to take command of the huddle with a thorough knowledge of the playbook but should also deliver in key moments by putting the ball where it needs to be. Both words and actions are needed to earn that credibility for a young QB.

      Who leads the NFL in tackles?

      Our D Lineman and our LB's are getting blasted and pushed out of the way. This is why teams are running all over us

      I've liked Nick Cross since before he was drafted.  I thought folks here have been impatient and quick, go figure.

      RIP- Donnell Thompsn

      I remember Donnell Thompson. He was a Tar Heel star player which was elite but he played on a bad team. No offense and defense, and no coaching and supporting players. Those were the days that it was difficult to be a Colt.

      You really have to wonder how many times we let teams run all over us before Ballard stops loving Bradley

      What we've seen so far isn't so surprising. Nick Cross was rated as the Colts #1 run defender last season with an 81.2 grade. It was his pass coverage that wasn't so good at 63.2.    Run Defense - 2023 S Nick Cross 81.2 DE Samson Ebukam 80.0 LB E.J. Speed 78.8 DE Kwity Paye 78.1 DT Grover Stewart 77.3 CB Kenny Moore II 71.5 LB Zaire Franklin 66.1 S Ronnie Harrison Jr. 64.1 DT DeForest Buckner 63.8 DE Tyquan Lewis 61.9 S Julian Blackmon 59.2 CB Julius Brents 58.8 CB Jaylon Jones 57.1 DE Jacob Martin 49.7 DE Dayo Odeyingbo 49.1 S Rodney Thomas II 48.1 CB Dallis Flowers 45.0 DT Taven Bryan 43.7 CB Darrell Baker Jr. 43.6 DT Eric Johnson II 29.3 DT Adetomiwa Adebawore 24.1   Coverage Grade - 2023 CB Kenny Moore II 79.3 S Julian Blackmon 72.6 CB Dallis Flowers 70.6 LB Segun Olubi 66.9 CB Julius Brents 64.5 S Nick Cross 63.2 S Ronnie Harrison Jr. 61.9 S Rodney Thomas II 60.1 CB Chris Lammons 59.0 CB Jaylon Jones 57.3 LB Zaire Franklin 56.4 LB E.J.
