I’m not sure why I need to say it but I think that’s by far an exception and not the rule. But I do think he has a better feel for taking what is given him in terms of his legs than Ryan ever has. Why that never developed with Ryan with time and game reps I will never know. It’s a largely natural progression thing. I mean the percentages on long term starter QBs who don’t develop it are basically nil.
Tannehill was a former NCAA receiver, so yes, he’s more athletic and probably faster than Rosen, as I’m sure he’s faster and more athletic than Aaron Rodgers. (The fact that Tannehill didn’t seem to know when to run except when the coaches told him to was one of the most frustrating things about him). Rosen has enough athleticism to elude defenders with his feet often enough when he has to, which is what we’re really talking about. Whether he has that sixth sense to know what to do is another matter.
