1B4IDie Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) I think some of these running QB's, run because they cannot be as effective as a pocket only QB --- e.g. look at RG3, his game overall is diminished because he isn't running (or can't run, yet) -- he's not as effective of a QB --- I think OC's are taking good passers and trying to make them great QB's by adding a run dimension to their game --- we all know how critical the QB position is in the NFL, the new wave OC's have found an added wrinkle that takes a good passer that can run and make them a great QB -- I think that's what you saw last year with RG3 (and this year's version of a non-running RG3 isn't pretty!); Kaepernick, Wilson and Vick. If you have a QB that is a great passer, you would be foolish as an OC to have them run --- case in point is Andrew Luck -- he is becoming a great passer -- he will run only when it's a safe option or to avoid the rush --- same with Rodgers ---- with Manuel, the issue might be that he will never be a great passer and the only way for the Bills to make him a great QB is to allow him to run as a part of his game ---- maybe he can develop into a great passer, but if he can't, he might have to run to be a successful franchise QB -- there are only so many great passers So Andrew Luck and Rodgers are great passers but RGIII, and Manuel can't be great passers. Is there something these two groups have in common? . . . hmmmm. . . Anything at all in common . . . hmmmm? Ever hear people talk about how footwork effects your throws? Maybe its hard for RGIII to pass this year because he only has 1 good leg? Noooo. It couldn't be, its because he runs first, Just like Doug Williams, Daunte Culpeper, or Byron Leftwich.

Rockinon Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 So I'm not the only one who didn't see anything about Polian in the article? Try watching the video.
bbb Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I never watch the videos. It takes too long. I just read the articles.
Thirty Year Fan Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 The guy is like 235 pounds and 6'5 ". He's hardly brittle and wasn't exactly hurt on a routine hit. The guy dove at his knees and foot caught in the turf. I doubt the Bills staff is as reactionary as yourself. We've seen QB's go down for the year on lesser hits the past few weeks. In that VERY GAME, even. Alonso pulled up, hit the CLE QB in the shoulders and the guy blew out his knee! Be serious. +1
