Miami Dolphins: Misguided Love Affair with Ryan Tannehill

What’s the deal with the recent hubbub surrounding the newest Miami Dolphin, Ryan Tannehill? I don’t understand the love affair some have with the former Texas A&M quarterback.
Is it just because he is tall (6’4”), big (220 pounds), and has a good arm? All of those are indeed important (some would say necessary) aspects of any potential QB.
Is it because he has brains (three-time All Big-12 Academic) to go with that brawn? Or is it something else?
Is it just as simple as him being the next guy in line? 
Let me say this first. I am not a football draft guru. I cannot tell you how to properly assess a quarterback’s footwork in a five-step drop, how to best attack a Cover-2 defense, or what it means to say someone “can make all the throws.”
I have no personal knowledge of Ryan Tannehill, the person or the player. So do not infer that I am making any evaluations based on my study of film or scouting reports.
