re: How important is it to have a mobile QB?

He also ran the option in high school and his offense barely threw the ball. Brees moves around the pocket to buy time. He is good at it. The NFL isn't like college. Running QBs don't last long in the NFL and are always getting hurt. Sucks when you have that much money invested in a guy who is taking hits like a running back. In college you can get way with being a decent passer if you are a good runner like Vince young and Tebow. Long term they better fine tune their pocket passing skills for NFL success over the long term.
