Titans’ Ryan Tannehill named worst QB at RPO throws

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill had a rough 2022 campaign that was littered with turnovers, one of which came on a type of throw he struggled with.

According to Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire, Tannehill was the worst signal-caller in the NFL when it came to RPO (Run Pass Option) throws.

You wouldn’t expect to see Tannehill on here for RPO throws, but when you complete seven of 11 such passes for 34 yards, minus-7 air yards, no touchdowns, one interception, and a passer rating of 30.1, that’s how that happens.

This quick deflection pick Tannehill threw to Cincinnati cornerback Mike Hilton in the divisional round of the playoffs — one of three Tannehill threw in the game — was intended for receiver Chester Rogers, but you know what can happen when defenders read quick passes.

Tannehill was squarely on the hot seat going into 2022, and that seat became even hotter when the team drafted Malik Willis in the third round of the NFL draft.

The veteran signal-caller will get another chance to prove that he does indeed have what it takes to get the Titans to a Super Bowl, although it could very well be the last one he gets before the Titans potentially move on in 2023.
