The Facts:
It's only been two practices for Tannehill, and he's only facing the backups so far while Matt Moore and David Garrard take turns with the starting offense. But it's been hard not to notice how good Tannehill has looked throwing the football, showing good velocity, accuracy and anticipation.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
So wrote Post staffer Ben Volin, who went on to note that HC Joe Philbin said Monday that Tannehill had 53 "competitive snaps" in Sunday's practice, and completed over 40 of those throws. Monday's practice wasn't as smooth, especially early on, but Tannehill is showing well so far. "I thought he threw the ball very well on Sunday," Philbin said. "Today, we missed a couple plays early. We had a couple opportunities for big plays we didn't convert on. For a rookie quarterback, I think he's doing very well. ..." While Garrard and Moore clearly have the edge in the competition, nobody should be surprised if Tannehill is fast-tracked should he continue to show well. We'll obviously be following this one closely throughout August.
