12 playoff teams - Dual Threat starting QB?

A good QB these days needs to be mobile enough to escape pressure and know when to run and when to scramble to extend plays. Try to limit sacks

Nuss is very good at that imo.

Thing is, posters who cry about that move the definition of mobile QB to whatever supports their particular argument at that time.

Mobility has always been an advantage. Very few IMobile QBs have been successful. Brady, Marino and Manning are the ones that come to mind. Almost all successful QBs have been good at avoiding sacks, but you don’t need to be an elite runner to he successful. Elite passing QBs are still better than elite running QBs, because the ball is faster than everyone else, and elite passers get the ball to elite athletes in space, but if a QB is not a threat to run, he has to be elite at passing. It is far easier to be successful by being very good at both, and that is what most successful QBs are.

Nuss was one of the least sacked starting QBs in the SEC.

Running/Dual Threat QBs don’t win championships. NFL and College history has proven that.
