Given all that, it makes sense that a team would want a quarterback who is accurate, has a quick release, and is, preferably, somewhat mobile.

But, if a team can get good pressure, field a solid secondary, win the field position battle (forcing long drives to score), and control the clock with the rush, you may not cancel out the pass, but you can minimize its effectiveness. It's happening more and more ... even so far in this season.
