Right, I'm merely speaking from pure pass protection and not how just the threat of a run by a QB can help in that aspect; like a cerebral veteran QB with total control presnap can affect the defense.
Mobile QB's are just on the other side of the spectrum. Their issue is all the extra hits, lots of injuries, huge losses on sack yardage, relying on athleticism too much to where it inhibits their in-pocket development, late season burn outs and ineffectiveness, more on their plate (designed QB runs, RPO's, RO, etc.), OL doesn't know how and where to block for them, etc.
Obviously the most ideal is perfectly in between like Steve Young after countless years within the WCO. They don't have those long practices and time to develop like that anymore so it'll lean more towards the athletic side to help counter that. That's what the league is proving now.
How many times does this need to be posted and addressed before we stop seeing people post it? Mobile QBs do NOT get hurt more than pocket QBs. There is ZERO evidence that they get hurt more often. Please stop posting this like its a fact. It's crazy.
Perhaps you should check the injury reports over the years. Russell Wilson is the only one, son and even he's been beat to hell.
Sorry NC. You are dead wrong.
Name a mobile QB, Google "injury." I dare you. LOL
That isnt evidence. You could type in...oh lets see....Jimmy Garappolo injury, and come up with countless results too. If it was true that mobile QBs got hurt at a higher rate than non-mobile QBs, there would be studies, articles, etc. that prove that. But you wont be able to find those, because they dont exist.
Its a myth.
Mobile QB's are newer to the NFL with a smaller sample size. In due time. But every single one has been injured. Only Russell Wilson hasn't missed a game even with an MCL injury outside the pocket.
A classic drop back QB will most likely get injured in the pocket. A mobile QB will most likely get injured outside the pocket...but they can also get injured inside it like a drop back QB can (Kyler Murray).
That's the difference. The longer they hold the ball around more bodies, including their own players, the probability goes up to get injured. And over 17 games?
Obviously there are different ranges of mobility too and how they're used. Of course Lamar Jackson is going to get injured. There are others who are mobile to stay within the pocket as much as possible (Mahomes).
But Jimmy doesn't care about any of that. He'll get injured in the A gap (ankle x2), on a roll out (shoulder) and flushed out (ACL).
