You take that away, which either teams are, or maybe dare I say FATHER TIME has taken that away from him, he's almost useless as a QB. He's not beating most from the pocket. Sure he can beat whatever crap QBs the Browns are throwing out there or whatever career backup noodle arms like Ryan Fitzpatrick. But he's not beating many people from the pocket without his ability to use his legs. Unless of course half the leagues starting QBs get injured and he has a 7 game window of playing 2nd and 3rd string nobodies again.

You think Reid all of a sudden said "well, Alex, I don't like you running for first downs"... you don't think at all, that they're trying to protect him from getting hurt and asking him to go thru more progressions? They invested big money in those tackles, time to trust the pocket that never existed for the last 3 seasons.
