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 |

a pocket passer can win for sure. good pocket presence is still all you need. a bonus is qb athleticism and really opens up the offense. |

Mobility in the pocket is essential, being able to extend a play by that extra second, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, have been some of the best of the best, all of whom in the recent years of the NFL, none of them were ever a threat to take off and win with their legs.

I will add Philip Rivers to that list as well.

Pocket presence requires an elite Oline which very few teams have outside of Philly and they still utilized a running QB |

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. Last edited by Chromeburn; 04-23-2023 at 09:20 PM. |

How narrow is our definition of "pocket passer"? If Joe Burrow doesn't fit, then it's not the definition I'm using.
Also, just because a guy can get a first down with his legs if things open up doesn't mean he's now a "running QB." Luck was a pocket passer. |
