Yeah I think you are missing context. The convo started per the below.




So I think the point being made is not being a pocket passer doesn't necessarily mean you are running. Guys like Wilson and Mahomes are not really classic pocket passers. And I mentioned this in response to the above but even if you want to limit to just running QBs, CK was plenty good enough to win a SB when they scored 31 points against the Ravens. They lost not because he was a running QB but because their D gave up 34 points.

So I am not sure this is really a fair comparison. There are successful QBs who were not really pocket QBs but if you want to limit it to strictly running QBs then there aren't that many that would fit that bill. And I suspect even if you took a McNair or CK and divided by all the running QBs in the NFL that is still a higher percentage of guys that made the Super Bowl vs if you took all the other SB QBs and divided by everyone else that would not be considered a pocket QB. So it is a small sample size issue.
The point is that they would prefer to stay in the pocket and couldn't be that successful without being good in it. It's still football. As usual, this seems more a matter of defining our terms than a real disagreement. I kinda miss the real ones and 12 pages of fun.

LOL. You simply can't win games with 8 real drop back passing attempts. And you can't magically throw for 300 or even 200 yards per game if you get pressured on 62.5% of those drop backs. This team is a mess and I can't believe Poles thought for a minute they would be as much as competent.

On the score they said that Mooney was seen in a wheelchair and with a whole leg brace thar had a bunch of pins in it and had an IV bag that looked like he was on a morphine drip for the pain.

They say anything about Eddie Jackson?

They just said it looked exactly like Kyle Longs injury and that Mooney has way skinnier legs so it might be even worse and might take years to recover ?

They just said that Sanborn is well on his way to being a defensive captain and it's not just because all of the captains are getting traded or having season ending injuries. They see him as potentially the next Urlacher.
