The Facts:
The quarterback competition is barely under way in Miami, but Reggie Bush likes what he sees from the rookie Tannehill. Commenting while a guest on NFL Total Access, Bush was not shy about giving his opinion. “Ryan Tannehill, he’s a really good quarterback, he’s very smart,” Bush said. “Obviously he has the upper hand coming into an offensive system that he already knows basically. Now he really just gets to work on his skill set as a quarterback, improving and he has that advantage on his side.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
He didn't stop there. “When you think about a rookie quarterback, obviously there is that disadvantage of just not having the wisdom and knowledge of being in the NFL,” Bush said. “It’s been done before, and I think [Tannehill] can do it..." While the players likely won't get a vote in who starts at quarterback, it's a feather in Tannehill's cap that he is already getting solid backing from some members of his team. We expect to see him on the field at some point this year, but whether that starts in Week 1 is far from decided at this point.
