Taysom Hill - The Pocket Passer?

It could also be that reading the D pre snap may not be as important as it once was and being a “pocket passer” is outdated. Looking at how QBs like Jackson, Wilson, Allen, and even Rogers have been successful when they extended plays by getting out of the pocket for long throws, I wonder if that’s not the way to go. Isn’t that what Hurts just did to the Saints D?

I wouldn't say so. Do you realize that Hurts managed only the second fewest passing yards (167) given up by the Saints all season? The only QB with less (12) was the Bronco's practice squad WR.

Just saying.
