I'm off the iPad and back on my computer.

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.
