Tannehill had head case Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline, Jarvis Landry, Rishard Matthews, Charles Clay, and Lamar Miller. And the O line sucked post Incognito. Tannehill has some weapons, but the cast isn't as good as in Dalton's career year. Wallace is a nine route specialist playing with a QB who struggles with deep ball accuracy. Hartline is a career 3rd WR low upside possession receiver. Landry is a rich man's Hartline, who should develop into a lower to medium end WR 2. Clay is a decent move TE/ H back, and is a small upgrade over Gresham. Matthews is nothing special. Lamar Miller is a decent back, but doesn't have Gio's receiving chops. Miami will be interesting this year, because half of that receiving corps is gone.
I have Tannehill over Dalton, but I'm not sure why people are downplaying the weapons around Tannehill.
AJ > Wallace (but Wallace is a solid #1, and the idea that he just lines up and runs nothing but "go" routes is asinine)
Hartline > the combination of Simpson/Binns/MLJ/Sanu
Landry = MLJ or Sanu
Clay = Gresh
Miller/Reggie Bush = BJGE/Gio/Hill (with Hill we're better, before Hill not so much)
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
