When Ryan Tannehill received a huge contract extension back in May, it finally put an end to the inconsistent saga at the Miami Dolphins quarterback position. From 2000 to 2011, the Fins had 16 different starters at the quarterback position. Who could forget the horrible front-office decisions like trading for A.J Feely, signing Daunte Culpepper (when Drew Brees was available), and drafting John Beck? I’ll tell you who, no one! If you’re a true Dolphins fan, these nightmare-like memories have haunted you for the past decade and beyond.
However, in 2012, in an unlikely move (solely because it was a good one), the Fins front-office made a risky decision that would change their franchise for years to come: they drafted the “inexperienced” QB Ryan Tannehill out of Texas A&M.
