Running QBs don’t win Superb Owls


Recommended Posts

In 52 Super Bowls, maybe maybe one if you count Wilson but he Scrambles to make a good throw like Mahomes. Steve Young, same thing. Lamar, Vick, Cam, The Golden Calf of Bristol, RGknee, Murray, Tasum Hill, on and on.  
 

Accurate pocket passers that trust their line, make great throws, move around so they avoid hits/sacks. 
 

That’s a big hell no to Willis. Its Corral or Pickett. If you aren’t sold on either. Oline it up at least and trade for ….dear god Jimmy G or Michew and get one next year.

So Pat, Steve, Russell, and Aaron are not mobile QBs? Ok...

Those other guys you named are trash, a pure running QB is garbage like the majority of the guys you named outside of Lamar and Cam. 

You need a QB that can pass first, but have the ability to run. 

Hai Guyz, trash ass QBs like Vick, RG3, Te-bow, and Taysom hill never won  a SB!!!!111

mobile is not the same as running.

If those guys wanted to be dumbasses like Vick they could just get by on their talent alone, not study film, and rack up the rushing yards.....

Let's define some terms here...

Running Quarterbacks: quarterbacks who can run but are lousy to mediocre passers (example: Michael Vick)

Mobile Quarterbacks: quarterbacks who are capable of scrambling to set up passes but aren't necessarily run threats that you have to game plan against (example: Russell Wilson)

Dual Threats: quarterbacks that are capable of being a run threat while also being great passers (example: Steve Young)

Pocket Passers: quarterbacks who rarely run unless they need to, but aren't necessarily immobile (example: Tom Brady)

Those definitions look solid and are needed to have any kind of productive discussion on this issue.

I would take the position that it's far too earlier to put Willis into one of those boxes, but I would agree hi is unlikely to be a "Pocket Passer" (by your definition) until much, much later in his career.

This depends how you view dual threats as well. How many rushing yards makes a QB a dual threat? 

Everyone says Elway was a dual threat but the most rushing yards he had in a season was 200. 

Russell Wilson had over 400 rushing yards the year they won the SB. He's had more rushing yards since but hasn't won the SB.

Young had barely over 200 rushing yards the year they won the SB. It's all how people view things really.

I don't define it by stats.

I define it by whether or not it's something you have to game plan for.

Young, for example, didn't need to run all that often because he was such an exceptional passer. But when he did take off, look out.

I will take a QB who can run like the wind but who can stand in the pocket and pass an amazingly accurate ball with ease as well. I guess anybody would for that matter but a guy who can do both at the top of their game makes for one bad ass awesome QB

I've long put it this way...

Quarterbacks who can run and pass are gold.

Quarterbacks who can pass are silver.

Quarterbacks who can run but can't pass are fool's gold

That's fair. I try to look at stats on occasion to determine if a QB is a rushing QB or not. That's why I view Rodgers as more of a pocket passer.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
