Why not a mobile QB?

[CatfanMO]

Everyone seems to hate the Vick, The Golden Calf of Bristol, ect qb threads. My question is why not? WOuldnt our offensive scheme work great with a mobile QB? I mean, our current qb cant run or throw. I think either we get a stud qb and change schemes or get someone that causes more of a threat than just to hand off the ball.

I have to say the way they defend us a mobile QB would really hurt the opposing team. Vick has kept his nose clean this past season. I am not sure he is up to being #1 again but for the right amount of money he could be had.

The Golden Calf of Bristol has got to have the arm for it. If he is a strong armed QB and is accurate. It would be interesting. You know he would be there in the 2nd round too.

Go Panthers.

I prefer old white guys that are slow and cute as me.

Vick would be even worse in our passing scheme than Jake is. I don't get the fascination with him.

because the point of a new qb is to change the one-dimensionality of our team. I have no problem with a mobile qb, he just needs to be able to throw the ball.

Really doesn't matter! The qb's that win make smart decisions! Arm or feet.

Mobile Qb's are great as long as they can throw the ball accurately. Vick is not an accurate passer and his ratio of interceptions to passes thrown is nearly as bad as Jake's, and it was worse than Jakes until this year.

I am not convinced that The Golden Calf of Bristol will win in the NFL. To many times, a QB like him looks good in college because the talent surrounding him is so much better than the opposition.

i have no problem with a QB being mobile so long as he is smart and can read defenses, read coverages, read progressions, and do it all quickly.

i don't mind a QB who can run but i don't want it to be his greatest asset.

Ding ding ding* rayzor... We have a great running game, we need a QB that can pass accurately, not have amazing running ability, we already have to running backs that can do that.

Vick or The Golden Calf of Bristol wouldn't be an upgrade over Jake. Sounds hilarious given how bad Jake's been, but Vick hasn't exactly set the world on fire in Philadelphia either.

Vick was the wildcat formation's biggest victim. His element of surprise died when the wildcat became commonplace. Plus he's around 30 now, he can't depend on those legs forever. His career completion percentage is at around 50% too. That's poor.

As good as The Golden Calf of Bristol is at Florida, Weinke was awesome at Florida State. College success doesn't always equate to pro success.

If we really want a mobile QB we'll draft Armanti Edwards. He's a local player and all the other "top prospects" will be gone. But we won't draft him because he's decent, and we don't draft decent quarterbacks.

Mobile QBs are fun to watch, but they don't win you anything.

No. It really does matter. A QB's job is to throw the ball.

Not as fast as Vick but more accurate on the throws.

We need a "Frito" chant going at the stadium. Too bad most wouldn't understand.
