A lot bigger? He has Vick by about 8LBS. Tebow's a big boy, but even suffered a punctured lung against the Pats and wouldn't have been able to play in the AFC Championship if they beat the Pats. RGIII is going to get hurt and hurt often if he doesn't change the way he plays. "Seems to run directly into contact" is one of the red flags on him, and he may have similar speed to Vick, but not the shiftiness.
I know he's not a run first guy, but people seem to be getting a little too excited about his ability to extend plays with his feet. I like it too as long as he becomes an expert in sliding and running out of bounds. Otherwise, he will become an injury liability.
