The only thing "knowing the playbook" or "knowing the offense" does is allow a QB to demonstrate his natural talent or lack thereof more quickly. Tannenhill shouldn't need to think "Okay, he called a Skyjet tiger blue 91 - who is my primary receiver on that?" Rather, he will know the primary and secondary w/out thinking and focus on "Just Playing". The only question will be "Does he have the ability to speed up his game?"

I would suggest we will know relatively quickly whether or not Mr. Tannenhill has got what it takes to succeed in the pros. Not saying he must have an Andy Dalton year to be a success, just thinking that if he "Blaine Gabbert's", the Dolphins may have to think long and hard about Barkley next year.
