Take a look at these numbers, then put them into context.
Ryan Tannehill joined the 4,000 club in 2014 and was only 64 yards shy of breaking into the top 10 in passing yards.
Had he gained those extra 64 yards (only an extra eight yards per game), he would’ve passed Tom Brady.
This despite the fact that Tannehill’s offensive line was putrid, grading out as a whole at minus-67.8 via Pro Football Focus.
The jury will be out on whether the new receivers will be an upgrade in 2015 or not, as the receiver unit, while frustrating at times, wasn’t nearly as bad as it seemed, only dropping 4.7 of the passes thrown to it, which is near league average.
What the new receivers should add is yards after the catch, as Jarvis Landry proved to be great in this aspect with 443 yards after the catch. Greg Jennings had 195 for the season, and Kenny Stills had 178.
With more passing yards gained due to more catches being made, that should improve all statistics. Expect the Dolphins to pass less but complete more passes.
