This new wave of QBs (Russell Wilson, RGIII, Kaepernick, Tannehill, Cam Newton, and the older Vick) are all capable of running read option, either for long stretches of the game, or short series here-and-there if they get the right defensive matchup.
So what should we expect a QB to throw for AND run for when they do both?
I was pondering the expectation for Tannehill's passing stats this season, when I wondered how many rushing TDs should we hope for? Two? Four?
Here is what I think is reasonable with a QB who can run as well as Tannehill, but who will be used more in the pocket than as a read-option guy like CKap.
Passing for 22 TDs and 11 INTS, 60% completion rate, 3,800 yards and a 85+QBR.
Rushing for 4 TDs and 400 yards
What do you expect?
