Ryan Tannehill
Tannehill wouldn’t have made this list prior to last season, but he helped carry the Titans to a playoff berth behind a league-best 9.6 yards per attempt, and a league-high 117.5 passer rating. He was a monster off play action and used his legs effectively while the Titans rode running back Derrick Henry to the AFC championship game. If Garoppolo’s postseason numbers lacked though, Tannehill’s were something south of that. He had 160 passing yards in Tennessee’s first two playoff games, and their offense sputtered against Kansas City when the Chiefs shut down Henry in the AFC title game. While Tannehill was very good, there are still limitations to his game that we’ve seen over the course of his 98 career starts. He’d do okay in San Francisco, but his ceiling at this point isn’t higher than Garoppolo’s.
