NFL Radio's Bill Polian "Tannehill is a better runner than RG3, more like Cam"

Really likes Tannehill. Very athletic, will run a sub 4.5 when he runs; A plus character and leader. Very smart and skilled in the WCO. Better runner than RGIII. Compared his running to that of Cam Newton.
He said it on the radio a while back.

I will bet everything I have against this claim. Easiest money ever. Tannehill runs a 4.6-4.7 IMO.

Well, he did play WR originally.

There's a big difference between Tannehill and Cam...

I don't get the Tannehill love.
When he's panicked, he's Jarrett Lee-esque, IMO.

I love Tannehill, and he's a very good athlete. Racked up some solid numbers at WR before he got his shot at QB.
But he is NOT a better runner than RG3 (don't even get me started on the Cam comparison).
Tannehill's going to do fine in the NFL, but Polian reached a little on this one.

Neither one of them runs anything like Newton

I don't know if Tannehill's straight line speed is better than RG3, but RG3 is not really that good of a runner for his speed.
His speed alone makes him a dual threat but he's definitely not as instinctive running the ball as other mobile QBs in the past. But his pocket passing more than makes up for it and his ability to run some is just an added bonus.

Nice splash for a guy just getting into radio, its like he planned on it causing a stir or something.

His running ability doesn't make up for the fact that he is a turnover machine who throws it up for grabs every chance he gets.
I don't get the love.

No. Just no.

Not as smart as RG3. And I'm betting not as much character.

He's used to saying dumb things on the radio, so this is just one of many.

That's crazy. The only knock I have heard that is legit on RG3 is his frame isn't very big. Can he sustain the pounding NFL qb's get?
