Maybe I mis-stated it a little.. My point was that he's less likely than Cam to 'juke' than he is to outrun someone. Cam's running strength is being able to break tackles and break a defender down in space with a short area move. RG3's strength as a runner is to break down the tackling angles with his speed and beat someone to a spot and potentially turn the corner. Neither is better or worse or a criticism, just a difference in styles. Not to say that RG can't do those things, it's just not his primary running strength.
