The two best QBs in the NFL would beg to differ. Neither Patrick Mahomes nor Joe Burrow is "basically a RB".

Mahomes had 44 yards rushing in the Super Bowl, Hurts was the leading rusher in the game, Burrow was the leading rusher in the AFC championship game.

The game has changed, QB has to run or atleast threaten the run 5 to 10 times a game

a qb doesn't have to run to be successful. that said, it has always been the case that a qb that could get a couple first downs a game with his feet were always valuable.

just because there seems to be more athletic qb's coming out of college doesn't equate to "qb's are rb's now"


nobody wants their qb's taking a lot of hits

Right QBs have to be athletes now, the pocket passer days are over

QB has to be able to create yards with his legs

The days of handing off to a RB 30 times and hoping to win are dead

The more deadly a QBs legs are the more respect they instantly command from a defense
