I didn't really use the correct terminology. But mobility was where I was getting at. And thank you for correcting me.
I believe that since the league is evolving into more of a passing league, the two most important positions on a team are becoming increasingly evident nowadays. To me, that's both QB and passrusher be it 4-3 DE or 3-4OLB.
Mobility is key. I believe that if you have a QB who can move around in the pocket or run around passrushers, it causes passrushers to play more straight up and honest. And they take less chances rushing the QB because they're thinking of containing the QB. Just a little simple thing like that changes the overall approach on how a passrusher will play against a QB. And it slows down the passrush IMO. That's just one big reason why a mobile QB is so advantageous to an offense.
