more mobile QB the wave of the future ,Giants must seek next

[Harooni]

All QB's can run.

lol you never see eli/peyton have a run like 11 seconds into that video.

fans forget Flacco can run also (not as fast as RG3 but still mobile)

dezzzr made a point already about that play to Jones where the pocket collapsed and Flacco stepped into it and bombed it to Jones, I can't say with certainty what RG3 would've done but I would bet he rushes on that play.

RG3 also plays in a totally different system that caters to his athleticism. I don't see Flacco in a pistol formation faking 9/10 handoffs and running with it. Most of the time Flacco runs is when he's trapped and has no other option, where as most of RG3's runs are actually run plays designed for him.

To deal with the OP's point. I would say what guys like Kaepernick and Russell Wilson have shown, is that being a pocket passer is no longer the only way to win.
You can have a QB who can and will run the football, and have a very dynamic offense.
That doesn't mean you can't win just as well as always with a pocket passer.

Agree.
I respect what Harooni is trying to get across but I don't agree with his last statement. We are not going to be stuck in stone age if we don't get into the program with a " hybrid " QB.

+1

+ 2 !

Ok so Joe can run faster than Eli and Peyton, that still doesnt make them running QB's or hybrid QB's.

I'd say that Flacco would need a better YPA average than 2.1 to actually be considered some sort of serious running threat.

[Harooni]

guys like ben and flacco also have designed running plays and options to run. now some may do more or less than say an RG3 or Kap but thats not the point. the point is the future is guys that can do both. even if Flacco doesnt use it in any particular game the capability is there. And as a young QB gets better passing and ages a bit he will most likely pass more and i expect RG3 to do the same.

Now you can either fold your arms and be stubborn or embrace the fact that the future is the double threat.

[Harooni]

Days of collins and bledsoe are over , lead footed golems are not going to win anymore.

move in the athletic QB that can do both.

[Morehead State]

If the standard in the NFL is to win a SB then how is that ridiculous? Maybe Seattle wants to use Wilson more in the pocket like they already showed us. He didn't run nearly as much as Kaep. or Rg3 and was still very successful.

I'm not sold on RGIII because he hasn't shown that he is a quality pocket passer. Both Wilson and Kaepernick have.

And I can't stand the simplistic view that you have to win a SB to prove anything. It takes teams to win a SB. Trust me, Dan Marino didn't suck.

But Flacco isn't a double threat haha. You're my bro Harooni but he would need to be more consistent on his 201 attempts to qualify for the group. He has had two really nice deep runs but would you say that Eli is a physical runner because he shoulder plowed that one Packers defender this year?
