PFF does measure statistics differently than looking at raw numbers. They don't count dropped balls against a QB's accuracy. Much like they don't count bad throws against a receiver. That article mentions traits that just aren't measurable. PFF doesn't necessarily focus on that nonsense. I can believe Tannehill is a more accurate QB than luck. I just don't know what else they used in their assessment.

Tannehill isn't underrated.  

  

Most people think he's very good (which he is). 

 

But he isn't on the same level as Luck.  

  

He can't carry an offense like Andrew does.  

  

But if there was one young QB I'd like to have outside of Luck, I think Tannehill is the one.

Mike Wallace has been less of a factor because of the lack of big plays with Tannehill not being able to put the ball out there like Luck does with TY. Look at the routes in their system. If you choke the middle and underneath, you can limit their offense. With Luck and our offense, that's not the case.

Their D, as a unit now, maybe better to get the Dolphins closer to the Colts but Luck's intangibles have their own significant chapters, IMO, and as a sum of all qualities, Luck is a better QB.

He does have a model wife though, Mr. Tannehill that is

I think the reason Luck is rated lower than Tannehill, is because Luck takes a lot of risks. Saying Tannehill is better than Luck is like saying Chad Pennington was better than Brett Favre. Would you rather have a QB that will go out there and win games, or a guy that just tries not to lose? 

 

It's also partially the offensive design's fault. We should have more timing routes, where Luck throws before the WR makes his break. A lot of our plays seem to be more see and throw, rather than timing and read based.

If its based on arm strength, Luck would probably be in the 20s. So whatvare they basing this on. Turnovers?

 

Here's luck throwing the ball standing at the 25 yard line hitting the other side's 1:

 

He was even throwing into a wind that day and had already thrown at least 48 passes. So I'm not sure where this weak arm strength stuff is coming from lolol

I was speaking with a Dolphins fan at work the other day who compared Tannehill to Dalton.  I agreed there is somewhat of a valid comparison there.

 

I'm sure even Skip Bayless would favor Luck over Tannehill.  :billiejean:

It wouldn't shock me if it came he was the one who wrote the list...

This makes me wonder the rest of the order since they said Luck wasn't in the top ten at all.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By throwing BBZ · Posted

      I use Pro-Football Reference as my primary source of stats.    Alec Pierce  2022 78 targets  3 drops  3.8% drop rate  2023 65 targets  3 drops  4.6%     Believe who you want!  For those who actually focus on the game while their TV is on during the game, you should remember how terrible Ryan and Minshew were at throwing Pierce a catchable ball. They regularly missed him by a mile.  Blame it on Reggies coaching, maybe Pierce is a very slow learner?  I'm looking forward to learning more on the subject with AR.   Mike Evans 2023  5.1%  drop rate   Jamar Chase  2021 11 drops  8.6% drop rate  2022 11 drops  8.2% 2023  5 drops   3.4%    Tyreke Hill 2021 7 drops   4.4% 2022  8 drops  4.7% 2023 12 drops 7.0%    Travis Kelce  2021 10 drops  7.5% 2022  8 drops   5.3% 2023  7 drops   5.8%    Clown school is now open.

      I just made the point to illustrate he is definitely not primarily a slot guy. He pretty much does it all. I think Reggie saw a bit of TY Hilton in him. And if we get any of that then Pierce has a problem down the line this year.

      Tom Brady finally admits he knew about Deflategate...shocker..lol

      Yeah, baseball is big when it comes to players that played even 100 years ago. Babe Ruth of course. There is only one Babe. Guy could party all night, drink, be with women, and wake up on 2 hours of sleep and then hit 3 HR's in a game . To me Willie Mays is probably the greatest there ever was and he played in the 50's, 60's, and up through 70's. Pitchers in the 70's were throwing 90 MPH by then. Mays won a World Series, so he was a champion, batted .302 for his career, and hit 660 HR's. I just know those stats off the top of my head without looking them up lol.

      I do respect those that study the older generations and accomplishments. Slingin Sammy too was a great one. IMO the sport that most fans study the past greats is Baseball and by a wide margin. Everyone knows Babe Ruth the greatest power hitter of all time and Cy Young and Ty Cobb.........could go on and on but in Baseball those legends never die like in other sports.

      Shaq is the closest thing to Wilt we will ever see. Today's centers are more finesse. Joker plays like a PG and likes to shoot 3's even. He is a great player but doesn't overpower you down low.
