There's mobile in the pocket, mobile outside the pocket, running QB's who are mobile, immobile QB's who run, mobile QB's who run for < 100 yards in 17 games, immobile mobile, mobile but less athletic (arm strength), immobile and less athletic, etc.
Mac must be elite mobile with 129 yards rushing. LOL
Oh yeah, rushing yards don't equate to mobility.
Tossing out one Mac play and saying see he's mobile lol. derp.
When s**t breaks down inside the pocket do YOU feel confident in him being able to escape pressure and throw off platform? Judging from his college tape and most of this yr...absolutely freaking not. and don't talk to me about a player only having to do that once or twice a game. That's simply not the truth of it anymore. No one is sitting in the pocket all game, play calling is getting QBs on the move more than ever. It's more passing (like you said) which equals more pass rush and having to move.
Mac's a human that has two legs, so thank god he can run a little....but overall he is NOT gonna win that way, which is fine but for the love of god recognize that. If s**t breaks down or a play isn't called properly, he's not gonna go out there an make something happen more often then not. Jared Goff can "run" that doesn't make him mobile. Jimmy can "run" that doesn't make him mobile. Those dudes along with McCorkle don't have the arm talent to throw on the run and make off platform throws like most of the elite QBs can do.
I mean what's the threshold stat wise to make someone "mobile" lol? It's a subjective take and some people choose to makeup what they want to help their narrative. like everything in here.
We get it you don't like mobile QBs it messes with your OL thing that you've been talking about for years. You're old school and want a pocket passing only QB....time to realize that's not really a thing anymore. The game has changed and the talent that's coming up through the pipeline are big/strong athletic QBs, that's part of the game going forward so adapt my man. The goal is finding a dude that can win multiple ways...hopefully they got that guy.
