If Joe Brady is the future, why are we recruiting pocket passers?

Joe Brady was specifically hired to modernize the offense by implementation of the RPO, so why aren't we recruiting dual threat quarterbacks to fit in his system? This isn't a knock on our current commits or even Brennan, but I thought RPO offenses are better with a quarterback that is a threat to run. Does this worry anyone else? At least Burrow is a threat to run, and Peter Parish may fit that role, but we have 2 pro style guys currently committed.

Brady came on after our two QB commits

Have you ever seen Drew Brees play?
Posted on 5/21/19 at 5:16 pm to DlineU
Is Brees a running qb or a pocket?

Was Joe Brady calling the plays with the Saints? I thought he was just an assistant.

You do realize that RPO is referring to the running back running the ball and not exclusively the Qb?

Dude really???? Come on now your better than this, have you even watched the saints play?

This is an impressive manufacturing of concern

You don’t need a scrambler to run RPO

Every offense works better with a running QB
But you can and people do run RPOs with pocket passers.
A few of those post RG III. Allot QBs we’re anywhere close to the athlete and the offense did fine.

QB doesn't have to be dual-threat to run the Spread/RPO. It does help if he can move well enough to be a run-threat once in a while.

We have been recruiting mobile QBs. How has that worked out for us? I think fans just want a Qb that can hit receivers more consistently then we have in the past

Sorry I'm not an expert on the RPO offense. I been watching LSU football the past 15 years.

Right because Brees would be nothing without all he learned from Joe the GOAT Brady

Do the Saints and Rams have modern offenses?
Posted on 5/21/19 at 5:28 pm to DlineU
Nick Foles, who had a career resurgence running the RPO for the Eagles, is most definitely not a dual threat QB.

The “R” in RPO generally refers too running play with the RB, not the QB.
Not to be confused with the read option

Actually if you read anything. CJB worked with Hill and drew up plays for him not Brees. He also game planned for CSP during the week. I would say the CJB style is a plug in play, meaning you can have a pocket passer or a dual treat. You’re able to adapt the offense to the style of QB you have. With RPO you don’t need a certain type of QB.

I guess I'll just take the jabs for not completely understanding this or apparently Joe Brady's role as the offensive coordinator with the Saints.

20 thumbs down lol. I thought it was a good question. Shame on me for thinking I didn't at least have a shot of getting reamed.
