Kaep, wilson, rg3, cam, pryor and ponder (who u forgot) got into the league in last two years. Flacco and romo arent mobile, stop it.

These last few years there was a definite influx of mobile qbs who can run well, and espn has nothing to do with it

Romo is a mobile QB, he isn't a dual threat tho.

being mobile and being a running QB are two different things.

Why are you letting ESPN dictate your opinion? The league has often checked for mobile qb's, a good number of the starters are mobile.

49'ers: Kaepernick; SeaHawks: Russell Wilson, Packers: Rodgers, Bucs: Freeman, Panthers: Cam, Cowboys: Romo, Eagles: Vick, Skins: RG3, Steelers: Ben, Ravens: Flacco, Raiders: Pryor.

Over 1/3 of the starting qb's are mobile. If by "running qb" you mean black, then yeah more brothers are getting chances at starting.

Bruh... GTFOH

Just cuz a muthafukka got legs does not mean they are considered "mobile" QB's :stopitslime:

Its good ol' boy tradition that you can't win unless you got yourself a nice wholesome whiteboy with shyt for brains if possible, but is a champ in the pocket :salute:
When this year started and went on, it was "Man, these nikkaz ain't gonna make it :smugdraper:"
Then 10gms in, enter the greatest QB to ever play the game... Colin Kapernick!!!
Of course white folk wasn't on Kappanikka just yet. He had TATS n shyt :scusthov:
Then they made up an excuse that has basically gone unknown... we have been hoodwinked I tells ya
Because those TATS.... they really scriptures dawg, they.. they quotes from the bible son, THE BIBLE
(Not like nagruhs do that, right?)
So Kappanikka clears out.. he checks. How bout we give him the patent on kissing your guns
And we'll now talk about how the league is all about the future... Running White QB's :blessed:

Steve McNair wasn't a running QB. He could run like Aaron Rodger do, but he wasn't a running QB.

Steve McNair was one of the greatest running college QB's of his time.
Donovan McNabb was too.

They just toned it down over the course of their NFL careers.

Steve McNair was always consider more of a passer even to his days at Alcorn State.

Steve McNair was a passer that was able to run when a play broke down, just like Aaron Rodger.

Steve McNair never had set running plays where he was design to run. He only had 200 yards rushing his first 2 years.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
The difference from now and then are coaches are starting to taylor offenses around the qb's skill sets. they saw what worked best for them in college and basically incorporate that into their offense in the pro's. It's all about comfort levels. Back in the day a QB basically had to re learn and entire offense in addition to studying new defenses. shyt is easier than before. And if you have a mobile QB why waste those talents.


Just think if somebody wouldn't done this with Vick when he came into the NFL. With Dan Reeves it was mostly improv. but when Mora took over they forced Vick into learning the West Coast offense which was dumb. He never ran it in college and up until then, he never ran it in the pros.

I won't say it's just a trend, but running QBs won't take over the league.

That's the thing, it's not a trend because it's nothing new.

But qb's who can run are great, qb;s who can only run are here today gone tomorrow.

There always will be room for scrambling qb's in the NFL, but I think for the most part pocket guys will always be the majority, for a number of reasons.

I do hate when dumb ass threads like this pop up and people use words like "revelotionizing the QB postion" or "changing the game".

Because i`ve lived through a few scrambling QB phases, and never have they taken over the role from pocket passing QB;s
