I have to say after watching this weeks Superbowl and last weeks AFC championship I think with today's rules you are better off with a mobile QB that can extend plays like Mahomes over the pocket QB like Brady/Goff. Esp with the you can't hit a QB rules in today's game. That said its time for the Giants to turn to a much more mobile QB in Murray or Haskins.

And he may start a third of them.
You can win with any type of QB if you put a system in place for him. Part of why McAdoo failed was because he did not know how to adjust his offense to fit Eli. He did it with Coughlin's guidance in '14 and '15. You can win with any type of QB.
He's been called one of the mobile types we have to have next in other threads.
I'm pretty sure that nobody has ever been allowed to kill a QB. And, it's more than the league and refs that guard against that.
Ok....
What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly?
Actually mobile QBs are not protected at all unless they slide and do it early enough like a Russell Wilson.
Pocket QBs are being protected more recently by the rules...

I mean is that QBs that are mobil don't really have to worry as much as before. The refs and the league don't allow you to kill them. A pocket QB cant extend plays as well. Tom does a good job of slightly moving in the pocket he is one of the only ones.

Not sure if Goff is mobile or pocket (after this thread), but there was one attempt to move where he ran down near the sideline and got clocked but good.
Is there a QB coming out in this draft that can't move right to left? I guess I need an example of a young QB that the Giants should not draft because he is too much of a statue.
And for the record, Goff is way more mobile than Haskins.
In my view, the best of both worlds is a predominately pocket passer with enough athletic ability that he can extend plays outside the pocket and, if coverages allow, run a few yards for a first down occasionally.
? LOL WHAT? People just create a narrative and than run with it despite as much evidence to the contrary at the touch of their fingertips.

There's a difference between straight ahead speed and quickness. He's plenty fast on a sprint - but when I see him I don't see someone who is elusive or quick. If you want a QB who collapses when the pocket crumbles the Giants already have one of those.
Mobility is helpful, but let's not make it seem that being mobile ensures success while being slow doesn't.
But when somebody thinks Brady is just along for the ride, it is hard to convince them of anything logical.
Sacks count for negative yardage in college
Agree. Brady has been holding the Pats back from achieving loftier goals...
The mobile QB covers up some weaknesses up front, and makes it tougher for the defense to contain him and shorten plays.
Don't they actually do more to protect the pocket QB? You know, the one where brushing the helmet area or hitting low draws a flag?
I'm sure as you are mulling over how Brady is being impacted by these new rules you have a crystal clear explanation.
