I’m surprised this is even brought up today…These quarterbacks (and the systems that are devised for them) have been easy to solve. See the halcyon days of Kaepernick and RGIII, the so-called robo-quarterbacks. They had a two or three year run, then defenses solved their games, particularly the option…And, as one scout said and I paraphrase…”There are lots of old drop back quarterbacks and no old mobile quarterbacks.” Their mobility is a great asset, but ends up being their undoing injury wise.

I tend to agree with the three NFL players in the vid. I think the future is gonna be tilted toward the running-QBs. For the reasons they talked about — simply more and more running-QBs coming out of college.

The smart ones will last. The ones that run-and-then-slide. Like Russell Wilson. The one’s that have the macho-streak will end up like RGIII.

Granted there will also, always be drop-back QBs. Its just that the trend is gonna be toward more athletic-QBs. I think.

You are out of your mind.

This has been argued since Roger Staubach, but it’s never happened.

There’s always a guy or two like Wilson, or Elway, or Young, or Staubach, or Tarkenton…

But there are a lot more Vicks and RGIIIs and Tebows et al.

Those college running QBs are going to learn to stay put, or they are going to get kilt. Meanwhile later round picks like Tom Brady, Joe Montana, and Jeff Smoker are going to dominate in the future.
