What type of QB does Andy Reid prefer?
 

We've seen all sorts of QB's under Reid in philly

Mike Vick mobile/spread option
Vince Young mobile/spread option
Nick Foles pocket/big arm (Coryell-ish?)
Kevin Kolb pocket/west coast
A.J. Feeley pocket/west coast
Jeff Garcia mobile/west coast
Donovan McNabb mobile/big arm (coryell-ish?)
Koy Detmer Mobile/West Coast


what type of QB is Reid looking to draft?

I think he prefers the WCO, pocket guy with a bit of escapability... Brett Favre, Garcia, McNabb, etc.

Geno Smith

This.

How are we defining "mobile." Too often that's used to characterize running QBs, and this was certainly not McNabb, even in his prime. He was elusive in the pocket, though, and could throw well on the move.

This.

That's what I was trying to get at. I think he likes a pocket passer that's ELUSIVE, like McNabb or Favre.

To me, that makes Geno and Wilson much more probable vs. a guy like Glennon...

Espn is scaring me... Talking about how he can fix cassel

well i tried to include 2 descriptions


mobile/option = vick ... a guy half run/half pass

mobile/coryell = mcnabb a guy that COULD run but was still most about the pass.

Jeff garcia = mobile/west coast looking to pass but running the ball was still a definite weapon of his game

McNabb ran the ball a fair amount early in his career. Quick check of stats shows 500-600 yards rushing his first three seasons as a starter. He dialed it back though once he became more accustomed to QB in the NFL. Based on how Reid has used his QB's and RB's, my assumption is that he appreciates a level of versatility in his skill players if possible.

True enough. And I love the bold.

McNabb was such a tank back in the day...

The one that isn't like Matt Cassel.

The type that win.

So anybody else notice another theme in that list?

You did just fine. :thumb:
