Young and Stroud are basically pocket passers. Stroud can run, but he really prefers not to.
That said, running does hurt a defense. With so many cover 2 looks now all over the league. A running QB forces defenses to play single high bc they have to spy the QB. That then opens up those passing lanes for deep throws. Something Steichen exploited a lot with Hurts last year.
