Why not a mobile QB?

Jake has looked pretty mobile this season.

I don't think I've seen him run or run this successfully in a while.

Ben Rothlisberger won a Super Bowl last year. And one 3 years before that.

I think its more a case of Jake running shocking the defense. But I agree it has worked pretty well. Personally, I think he should take off a few more times.

Mobile QBs are great IF they are also accurate passers. This is why guys like Elway, Staubach and Young were winners. Vick and The Golden Calf of Bristol? Not so much.

Our next quarterback:

One hundred percent wildcat one hundred percent of the time.

Serioulsy though a mobile QB would be great if he can complete 65% of his passes and throw very few interceptions.

Tebows careers stats as a passer: 81 tds to 15 INTS, 65 % completion, 8335 yards, 155.42 rating. Yeah, those stats suck. The Golden Calf of Bristol is nowhere near the caliber of Delhomme.

Look up Rex Grossman's stats in the Florida system while you're at it.

Certain combinations of school and position are best avoided in the draft. "Florida quarterback" is one of them.

Also look at his rushing stats. Your Grossman argument is not valid for this situation. Im not saying he would be our hero, but seems like with our system and our staff someone like The Golden Calf of Bristol would be great here.

Works 30% of the time, every time.

The Golden Calf of Bristol is a great kid. he's the kind of guy I'd love to have as a Panther and he'd be easy to cheer for.

With that said, I'm in the crowd that thinks he won't translate well to the NFL as a QB. His skill set just doesn't fit that well. And being in the Florida system doesn't really help.

Someone will take a chance on him as an NFL QB. I don't want it to be us.

You make my day Zod.

I'll take Big Ben mobility amd pocket presence 10 times out of 9

Yeah, you never know. I think we are in a mess and need something different. If our system only wants the QB to pass 10-15 times a game, I think a The Golden Calf of Bristol would really benefit us.

If you're talking about a Vick or a Young, no thanks - these guys are mobile and make plays but struggle to read defenses and at some point you have to be able to stand in the pocket and make smart throws.

If you're talking about a Steve Young or Jeff Garcia or Fran Tarkenton then yes, they could scramble very effectively when they HAD TO but could also stand in the pocket, read defenses and make throws. (no, I don't consider Garcia in the same class as Young or Tarkenton).
