Teams would be better off going back to a traditional pocket passer. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of college quarterbacks running a pro style offense anymore, so those types are harder to find. But until that changes, that's just how it's going to be. These running quarterbacks have never been sustainable against NFL defenses. That hasn't changed. Sure, there are exceptions. Lamar has had good career playing that way.....if you're satisfied with regular season success. But his playoff numbers are pathetic. Yeah, he got to the AFCCG last year. But he did it by going against another running quarterback. I'm guessing that Stroud doesn't put up close to what he did last year now that tape is out on him.

Yeah, no one runs a "pro style" offense in college anymore.
Immobile pocket passers aren't coming back.
