Teams starting "Mobile" Qbs have a 33-29 record this season.

[Awesomeness!!]

I had this discussion today who flat out refused to acknowledge that "Mobile" Qbs were successful in this league in this day and age. Anytime somebody mentions the fact that guys like RW, and Cam have put on good numbers all people can do is troll out Peyton Manning's name, as if guys like Christian Ponder or Carson Palmer don't exist. Anyway, for our little comparisons there is one rule.

 

1. The QB in question has to be considered "scramble ready". Andrew Luck for example is a mobile QB, as some would say he is a better running than RG3. In other words, the QB is a threat to run.

What are we defining as a mobile QB? Tannehill is pretty damn athletic. So is jake locker.

Are there qualifications other than "I think he can run. So he's in."

Not sure if the difference is even statistically relevant. There's good QBs and bad QBs. Good teams and bad teams. Mobility is small piece of the puzzle.

Locker, Tannehill....heck even Alex Smith can all move pretty well.
