You think they're talking about Josh Allen? About Steve Young?
Nope - Acho and Wiley are clearly having Jackson as the flag carrier for black QBs because that's how THEY view them - as running QBs. Jackson, Hurts, Justin Fields, Kyler Murray - those are their 'running QBs' and they're using that as a euphemism.
CJ Stroud will never get that kind of love from these guys. Caleb Williams won't. Acho and Wiley are the guys stuck in the stone age alongside Bill Polian. But they're gonna be the first to chew your ass if you point out that Jackson doesn't work from inside the pocket worth a shit.

Mahomes is underrated as a runner by a lot of people as well. ESPN graded him slightly better than Lamar in 2023 when it comes to rushing effectiveness. Check out the list:
