Yeah he's better than Jimmy by the eye test for sure. Others posted the rushing and rushing TD's and Jimmy won't give you that. So he's already better than that. Scrambing and buying time to throw, playing off schedule, scrambling for yards and TD's is Brock. His whole team is hurt and all the key guys. So IMO this year is tough to evaluate.
If you can't be a threat to run you gotta be able to slice up defenses inside the pocket. Jimmy ain't that. Brock for sure has the ability to move around and extend plays, but it's not like we're calling plays for him to use his legs like other teams do with their guys.
those scramble plays are things that you and your receivers need to be on the same page with as well…Seattle practiced that s**t for years with Wilson. Mahomes and Kelce have crushed people with that, especially on 3rd downs. Arm strength matters with some of those out of structure plays as well. You can't just take 3 or 4 steps and throw the ball when you're in that position.
I have faith that Brock can play quality ball. He will absolutely need more around him than other highly paid QBs though. He doesn't have those elite level tangible traits to overcome some stuff. Is what it is. Hopefully the contract reflects that and they can keep the roster high end all around him.
