Ok, but discarding Hurts, don’t you think that my point about the success of the QBs I listed, along with Murray, mayfield, and others leans validity to the idea of the traditional, immobile, pocket passer being more a relic?

Re: Taysom Hill - The Pocket Passer?
 

Oh yeah, I forgot a guy named Mahomes in that list.

You mean like Robert Griffin III and that guy Kaepernick? Let's see some longevity before deciding it's the future.

Andrew Luck

Dan Marino, Dan Faust, Jim Kelly, Warren moon.

Change is it inevitable. Big difference between a mobile QB and a running QB. Now days the QB has to be mobile. Look at the QBs that are having success now...Wilson, Rodgers, Pat Homes, J Allen. Even Big Ben was mobile until injuries slowed him down. It’s just the evolution of the game.

Even in college FB they are looking for mobile QBs. None of the top QBs are pocket only QBs.

Re: Taysom Hill - The Pocket Passer?
 

Immobile pocket passer, right? Won as many championships as the ones you named other than Mahomes who has cut back on his scrambling. He's is an outlier anyway because of his conservative nature. Even with him longevity can be an issue.

Re: Taysom Hill - The Pocket Passer?
 

I just named a good 5 starting QBs that aren’t pocket passers including starters for many of the Super Bowl favorites and you want longevity ? Take away Rothlesburger Brees, and Brady ( all relics) and there aren’t any teams (Goff maybe) that are going with traditional pocket passers as their future.

Re: Taysom Hill - The Pocket Passer?
 

Don't get your point there. Awesome QB's. Extremely successful. What am I missing, Boston?

Re: Taysom Hill - The Pocket Passer?
 

And how many are going to be a future? That is yet to be seen. A short run? Yeah. I can see that. Today is a throwaway society. Why not do the same with QB's, I suppose. NFL dynasties have been built on long lasting QB's. That may be over.
