This isn't a defense of Eli...He can play better, and it's not a call against playing KL. It's information that might change the idea that THE problem for Eli is Mobility....or that He should stand in there to find downfield plays.
Holding the ball longer, with a bad o-line, leads to a QB NOT STANDING....and 11 sacks with 19 hits is a reason for releasing the ball in 1.5-2 seconds. If someone is not stressing that to Marriota in film sessions, then they have it all wrong. Eli is aware of the rush...yes, even when it's not there, because that's a great exception.
It's tough to determine whather He is good enough (anymore) to keep around for a more completed re-build, given the fact that he doesn't have time to play the position and run the offense.
Compound that with the lackluster Oline of the past few years, the coaches really have had no choice but to play WCO/3 step/1 read or checkdown.
2.5 Seconds is about the max, after that disaster.
He played very well in the NFL during his first two seasons but he is constantly injured and it has affected his play. The main concern with him coming out was his ability to stay healthy.
How is a quarterback who has the ability to pass from the pocket, and also the mobility to extend plays, not a good thing.
Wentz looks pretty good, so does Mahomes.
With better escapability there have probably been plays Eli could have made that he has not.
I don t see the issue here.
Other than both playing at Oregon, what connection do you make between the two that has you worried?
By that logic, you would have past on Aaron Rodgers
Every week there are plays under pressure I see other QBs make that Eli hasn't made in 5 years.. should we start threads on that?
That isn't a myth.. even SY56 in his reviews has mentioned quite a few times over the past several years that Seattle OL is as bad as ours.. and if you watched their games you would know..

Seattles OL has dominated the last 4 games. So.... huh?
Why does every subject here have to be black and white? Why does thinking a QB with the ability to buy a little extra time in the pocket is a benefit mean that mobility is the be-all-end-all?
This shit serves no purpose. Mobility isn't the only answer - but it sure helps if your QB isn't a statue.
Marcus Mariota just isn't that good and the Ravens feasted on the Tennessee line. It's really as simple as that.

yes.. so what did those 4 games help him get 37 TDs in 2017?
Rushing Offense Rankings (From Pro Football Reference):
2018- NYG #25 Seattle #7
2017- NYG #26 Seattle #23
2016- NYG #29 Seattle #25
2015- NYG #18 Seattle #3
2014- NYG #23 Seattle #1
2013- NYG #29 Seattle #9
So the data shows 2016 and 2017 close but NYG worse...rest of those years not even close...

To say Seattle oline is as bad as us is false. Its better, at least in run blicking.
Pass blocking maybe just as bad, with Wilson getting chased around sacked 6 times a game.
No Bill, you're wrong! A mobile QB automatically at 1.5 or 2 seconds gets Odell out of double or triple coverage and would never check down to Barkley ten yards short of the 1st. Also, a mobile QB never has a pass deflected or bounce off a receivers hands for an int. And lastly a Mobile QB would instantly make our defense better. If we only took Darnold we'd lead the league in sacks, interceptions and 3rd down stops. Not to mention if we had Mayfield, Rosen, Allen, Carr, etc. the defense would have stopped Carolina on that last drive.....
Sorry Bill, but as much as I agree with EVERYTHING you stated, I am now going to see how the other half lives....
