Does Tannehill already have the second longest streak of QB starts in Miami history?

    I hadn't really heard about or read anywhere where they talked about this, but when I was looking over team stats and history earlier, I noticed that Bob Griese only started all of the team's games twice in his long career (1970 & 1977), missing at least one game most seasons. After a quick look over the rest of the team's history, it seems that until Ryan took the field last season, no one else but Marino had started even two seasons worth of consecutive games in the 49 years that the team has played! So, unless I'm missing something, Ryan, with his 48 consecutive games, is in second place behind Marino all time in Fins history.

    Wow, really shows his toughness and resilience. With the amount of sacks and hits he's taken over the last 3 years is really impressive.

    I'm looking for another 16 consecutive games starting this year.

    IMO Tannehill's toughness is one of his elite level skills. These have not been easy seasons. He has taken a beating behind some poor pro and game plans that provided no protection.

    I thought matt Moore started a game for us last season? Or did tannehill leave the game injured?


    Ignore me. It was 2012. Vs the jets. Tannehill injured and Moore came in.

    I had just commented yesterday in a thread that he has the most important ability in spades; that's availability.

    Yeah, Moore played like 90% of that game, but Ryan started, and then all of the other games too.
