DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill just celebrated his 28th birthday this week. It was another sign that the fifth-year starter is no longer an inxperienced quarterback still trying to learn the NFL game.

The time is now for Tannehill. There have been various excuses for his inconsistency, including a poor offensive line and three offensive coordinators in the past four seasons. However, Tannehill must also be accountable for his poor pocket presence, struggles on third down and subpar play during crunch time in the fourth quarter.
