I’ve been watching a lot of college ball lately, and I can't help but feel like we're moving away from the traditional "pure pocket passer" era. It feels like every time a new kid steps under center, the conversation immediately shifts to how mobile they are or if they can scramble out of trouble when the pocket collapses.
Personally, I miss the days when you could just judge a guy on his arm strength and accuracy. Now, it feels like if you aren't a dual-threat threat, you're almost an afterthought in the recruiting process. I remember watching some legends back in the day who just sat there and dismantled defenses with nothing but a quick release. Now, it seems like coaches are desperate for that "sneaky" athleticism to keep the defense on their toes.
Do you guys think the era of the traditional stationary quarterback is actually dead, or is it just a temporary trend because of how modern defenses are playing?
