Quotes from Ryan Tannehill

You see receivers getting open, the O-line blocking, and when that's happening, playing quarterback is a lot of fun, man. You get to sit back, and deliver the football, and let your guys make plays.

The ultimate factor in judging quarterbacks is winning games.

Quarterbacks are the leaders of the team, and I want to try to get guys going. That's a job of a leader. That's a job of a quarterback.

A quarterback should be leaders of the team.

Your personal time with God is huge, your quiet time, your study, prayer, but being around other Christian followers... and the church just feeds you. You come away feeling rejuvenated, you get a great message.

When you get down, your game plan changes a lot and what you're trying to do is eliminated.

I'm going to play the quarterback position the way coaches install the plays; I'm going to go through the reads just like they install it.

Some throws we're just trying to make in practice to see if it's something we want to move with on during the season.

It's a tough situation as a defender to be put in. I understand what they're doing trying to protect quarterbacks. I've been on the receiving end of a few of those where you appreciate them trying to take care of you a little bit, but I do see the conflict that it puts a defender in.

You face distractions, you face adversity in life and you have to be able to handle it, you have to be able to fight through it and become a better man and become a better player because of it.

It's about how you handle yourself, how you take care of your business, how you present yourself in front of the team, how you hold other people accountable. And ultimately, performing.

Every guy is a little different, how you talk to him, how you handle him and hold him accountable, every guy is a little different.

I'm definitely rooting for the Heat.

The passing game is timing and trust, expecting those guys to be in the right spot at the right time.

I've just tried to do everything I can personally to be the best quarterback I can be, whether it's doing extra work for my rehab, extra work in the film room, on the board, extra work out on the field with my drops and footwork.

I have a ton of confidence in myself. You have to, to play this position.

There are always things that I am looking to improve upon, but I think I am learning from every rep and filing those reps away.

That's the nature of the business. If you're not doing the job good enough then they're looking to replace you.

When you're the starter, there are certain things that you're able to do as far as leading and stuff like that. So, really having to kind of take a step back in a leadership role I would say is the toughest role for me.

It's slanderous to report things I didn't say, to degrade my reputation, it's sickening to me.

That's kind of a classless move to celebrate when a guy is injured.

I think the tone that the head coach sets transcends to the team.

I have a lot of competitive juices, and I want to go out and compete on the football field every day.

It's always a dream to sign a big contract, but the main dream is winning a championship and holding that trophy up with your teammates.
