That, by all accounts, is Tannehill. He has been labeled a project, but there are no more projects at quarterback, not when you're the eighth player taken in the draft. The Dolphins have been reluctant to elevate Tannehill, but he's one step closer to assuming control of Miami's offense.
Garrard, of course, hasn't given up on starting for this team, but the landscape will look alien by the time he returns. By the end of August, this will be someone else's team.
