the execution of your responsibility regardless of the outcome..as it should be..these are the most accurate stats your gonna find..its how I watch film, I don't care about the outcome of the play, just position specific responsibilities..good news for our qb...really good news that he made the biggest play of the game the other nite backed up deep in his own territory, saw a lane, juked a couple a defenders and made the first down..everything else was easy after that.

Is that list for the 2014 season?

Edit: NM...found it...it's on the main PRO page, pull-down on the right. Interesting they have Suh as #10 for Interior Defenders. -
Yeah, Luck not being there is certainly odd, though he's turned the ball over quite a bit, and his completion percentage is lower. Perhaps he's had more plays that could have gone bad but didn't also, that aren't reflected in the regular stats? I don't trust PFF as an absolute truth, but its generally a good read.

Well, FWIW, I think his basement this year is #8...possibly top 5. He has the tools...its just a matter of comfort/confidence.

Well...it's nice to see a Dolphin QB ranked in the top-10, but my first reaction to any sort of list like that is, I don't really care if a guy executes what he's being asked to do.
I care about whether or not a guy can execute the particular things that seem to be required to win--particularly on the game's bigger stages.
That's a similar question but at the same time, it's entirely different.
Chad Pennington is a great example of a guy who probably did what he was asked to do, but still couldn't make a dent in the Play-offs against the league's better defenses.
I'm not saying Tannehill can't win championships or anything nearly that bold. I'm just pointing out that "doing your job" is sometimes still clearly not sufficient if the job you're being asked to do is in and of itself not all that great. -
If he's executing what he's asked to do, then he's executing the gameplan, which is designed to win games. So, he's doing his part to win. This is showing that he's one the 10 best at doing his part to win...which petty much goes along with what many of us have been saying. A couple plays, by people other than Tannehill, whether offense or defense, and the Fins were in they playoffs. and it's a completely different perspective on Tannehill, even though he wouldn't have done anything different.

I do think he has the benefit of playing in an extremely terrible division.Clark Kent likes this. -
PFF is great if you take it for what it is, individual's opinions. Unidentified individuals.

But Pennington also beat some better teams. In 2002, his 9-7 Jets beat the 10-6 Colts 41-0. In 2004, his 10-6 Jets beat the 12-4 Chargers on the road. They then took the 15-1 Steelers to OT on the road before losing by a FG.
Pennington's teams didn't advance further in the playoffs because they generally encountered better teams, usually on the road, not because of anything Pennington did or didn't do or any specific limitations in his game.
A QB's job is to complete passes, avoid turnovers, make first downs and get the ball in the endzone. If he does those things well, his team will generally win and advance. -
edit:
As for PFF and Tannehill... PFF got into a controversy last year after ranking Tannehill in the top 5 early on in 2014, despite the fact that his numbers didn't look like top 5 material. In fact, he was one of the lower rated QB's in the NFL by general statistical standards. PFF defended their grading of Tannehill by demonstrating ways in which Tannehill was making good decisions that didn't show up on the stat sheet. Namely, the receivers failing to execute their end of pass play transactions. It was around that time PFF started losing some of their credibility around here. While I don't think PFF is gospel, their grading and evaluation is pretty good overall. Their top 10 QB list is pretty accurate IMO. -
