Geez man, nobody is talking about running the rambling wreck triple option in the NFL, its about extending plays and gaining yards instead of taking sacks.

If two QBs are both the same at passing, and one QB is better than the other one scrambling/running, then that guy is going to be a better overall player. Duh. The more difficult thing to figure out is if one guy is a better passer and one guy is a better runner, who is going to be the better overall player and move the more effectively?

Your example of Aaron Rogers is a good one. He moves around well and extends plays way better than a dude like Rivers and he wins more games because of it. Burrow is a great example of this, heck one of the biggest differences in the game we had with LSU was his ability to convert first downs with his legs when nobody was open.
The slowest QB in the history of the NFL has countless rings (I honestly lost count), including the one from last year.

Times change. Brady is an all time great but his style of play is going the way of the dinosaur. QB of the future has to threaten the defense with his legs. Doesn’t necessarily have to use them but has to make the defense account for them.

You are a dum-dum. A buffoon. 9 of the next 10 Super Bowl winners, if not all 10, will be classic drop-back passers.

I think the more a QB runs, the greater the risk of serious injury...... That more than anything will slow down the transition to a Running QB league. Extending a play is a whole different game.

Vast majority of QB injuries occur in the pocket.

That because the vast majority of QB plays are in the pocket. :crazy:

That's like saying the vast majority of car crashes are on the road.
QBs can adjust to what they see out of the pocket. Much more likely to get rolled up on or hit from the blindside in the pocket. Remember Timmy? He was standing in the pocket, got hit from behind, then his head hit someone’s knee. Never had an issue running into the line.

No denying I’m a dum dum or buffoon but you’re a moron if you believe this. About as smart as your “0-4” prediction mid season. :grin::grin::grin:

Perhaps you didn't notice but Tebow was the biggest, strongest QB who ever lived. He could have played fullback in the NFL if he wanted to. I was desperately hoping he would do the 225 bench press at the combine, because he would have put the lineman to shame.

There’s a pretty big difference between a quarterback who is a scrambling threat from the pocket and running designed runs for the quarterback.

I doubt too many NFL GMs want a ton of designed runs for their signal caller. At the same time, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a guy who’s mobile enough to freeze the linebacker and flip it to the tight end for a big gain.

It’s all about keeping the defense honest. A mobile quarterback can optimize that.

Do you honestly think Baltimore is going to let Lamar Jackson keep running like this? They'll pull the reigns back on it because their buttholes pucker up every time he takes off. He weighs about 165.

He’s all the things a great runner is. Fast, agile, amazing moves. Vick was, too. Football is big game of chance. Sometimes the dig bites you. Sometimes the opposite.

You would think, though, that the odds are he’ll eventually be pushing his luck. He’s not a punt returner.

I like seeing QB's run, but the NFL is full of conservative crap coaches that only think about their jobs all day every day and despise taking chances.

If you ever want to watch some cool video, watch some of Fran Tarkenton’s runs early on with the Vikings. He wasn’t fast but he had an amazing sixth sense about him in the pocket, and he could dance. Bigtime.

In the NFL, if the pocket collapses and the QB is forced to run, there is almost certainly something wrong with the OL.
Maybe the defence out schemed them--perhaps in a match up or maybe rotation or injury,
Yes, mobility is an advantage for the QB, but relying on a running QB in the NFL is not a sustainable option.
This is not college football. The NFL has very fast and talented defenses and coaches that know how force offences into their weakness.
The greatest strength of offence in football--both college and pro--is the ability to read defences and get the ball into a receivers hands as quickly as possible.
