Just like Cousins, there is a split between thinking Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is good or not good. A former Texas A&M wide receiver switched to quarterback, Tannehill has still be transitioning to learning the position. He may be in his fifth NFL season, but he still has a long ways to go for his development.

That could either be a good thing for the Dolphins or it could me they are running out of time to get the most out of their quarterback.

Tannehill has never had a winning season in his career, and 2016 started out poorly. He only threw for 186 yards, or 28th in the NFL. He also only completed 55.2 percent of his passes while throwing for no touchdowns.

He did nothing to help his team walk away with a victory and he just looks like an average starting quarterback once again in 2016. This could be a make-or-break season for Tannehill because the Dolphins could decide to move on from him if he continues his average play.

Next: No. 22
