Hum heard this before.
Daunte Culpepper Kordell Stewart Michael Vick Randall Cunningham Vince Young Steve McNair Cam Newton
None of them won a Super Bowl and most had careers ended by lower body injuries or simply could not make the transition when they no longer had the speed and legs to run.
Russel Wilson Patrick Mahomes to a point Steve Young
Won Super Bowls but their passing was always #1 option
Now virtual Statues in the back field litter the winners list
Yes a mobile QB makes it tough. But guys like the putz in Green and Gold, Staubach, Farve, Elway moved enough in and out of the pocket to effectively fluster the Defense.

I dont know if Jalen Hurts is the future, but its certainly a lot easier to win with a QB that can move instead of an absolute statue in the pocket, particularly with an average o-line. FWIW, Cousins was the Vikings leading rusher in Philly. Does being your team's leading rusher and getting 10 yd./carry qualify you as a running QB? (j/k BTW)

I think that you've hit the important thing: QBs these days do need to be "mobile," able to get away from pocket pressure and make plays. They do not need to be single wing back rushing QBs who can also, secondarily, throw the ball.

My intention wasn't to totally hide it but to make it less visible and maybe get some overzealous poster. However, when my post ended up with the alternating gray background, it was mostly invisible and not a fair "trap". More than anything, my comment was meant to further illustrate how pathetic the Vikings played on Monday.

Understand. I added the smiley faces to mine for pretty much the same reason. I know our line isn't good at pass blocking, but for them to also suck at run blocking is pretty discouraging.

Whatever Kirk is, I fear we're most likely stuck with him. Believe his extension included no trade (without his consent)?
So...better protect him - which is why I whine about Center situation all the time.
