Yeah. To this day, despite all the hoopla that the occasional Cam Newton gets, if I were a coach, I'm still gonna be looking for the pure pocket passer with good feet and pocket awareness.

I don't need him to run for 20 yards if his combination of pocket awareness and a bit of mobility allows my WR to get open 30 yards down the field.

Love me some Mett, but yeah, just a bit TOO statuesque for me. Even then, I'll take that over "can't pass a lick but can run". My preference in order would be.

1)Pure Passer who runs like Cam(basically, a unicorn)

2)Pure Passer who runs a bit and senses pressure well.

3)Pure passer who is nailed to the ground.

4)Marginal Passer who runs like Cam.
