re: Metts stats for the game

rogers is a pocket passer .... there will never be a qb with a long career that is a run first qb in the nfl .

How many run first QBs are actually starting? I'm talking guys with the ability to take off, but still pass well.

Newton 585 yards 6 TDs
Wilson 539 yards 1 TD
Kap 524 yards 4 TDs
RG3 489 yards
Smith 431 yards 1 TD
Luck 377 yards 4 TDs
Tannehill 238 yards 1 TD
Fitzpatrick 225 yards 3 TD
Foles 221 yards 3 TDs
Dalton 183 yards 2 TDs

What most of these guys have in common, is that they have only been in the league? the last 5 years. That is nearly 1/3 of the starting QBs in the league. The game is changing. DEs and LBs are getting faster.

Then there are guys like Locker, Cutler, Rodgers, Big Ben etc, who have great mobility. Add in Bortles by the end of this year too.
