I was referring to modern QB's, not trying to compare to "statues" like Marino, Bledsoe, etc. Guys of yesteryear that were pure pocket passers. Most of the QB's coming out today that would be considered first rounders run 4.7-4.8 or way faster. There are very few guys that can't move around or avoid the pass rush because as big time college QB's, they've done it their entire career. To me, that type of "mobility" is a given. I don't think any team will ever draft a "statue" with the #1 overall again. That said, those guys are different than "mobile" QB's like Newton, Griffin, etc. Guy's that are considered "Dual Threat" QB's because they can beat you with their legs or their arm (although Newton & Griffin haven't done much yet with either). All that said, after watching the last four WV games, I'm underwhelmed with Geno Smith. Again, I'm just not seeing it. |

I don't get why people compare Geno to a running QB. He doesn't run at all. Has less than 300 yards total rushing for his college career.
He has good pocket mobility but is not a run first QB. |

Apparently he shares one trait with all the other "running" QBs in spite of numbers that state otherwise.

![]() ![]() I love how people think that Geno is super quick, great runner, etc because he's black. Far from it.

You should. I'm sure that you were one of those riding the Jimmy Clausen bandwagon which means that we don't share the same conceptualizations about what one should expect out of a high draft pick at the QB position.

Even when he breaks containment, he never really looks to run. He always has his head up looking for an open receiver.

I think Matt Barkley could be Trent Green 3.0
