It depends. My point is that a well executed zone-read/stretch run operated from the pistol gives the best protection and utilizes Griffins skills the most. It protects him from pocket collapsing crunch hits, and, if he uses good sideline awareness, protects him from harsh hits that a true running qb ala Vick can take. Certainly our line isn't going to be a line that would protect a non-mobile qb, but that's not the type of offense we are building anyways. Our qb will always have to have some level of mobility, even if it's not Griffinesque.

Both times
I wouldn't call those scrambles necessarily.
It was a designed run all right.
Designed by RGII at the last second.
He needs to learn to slide and protect himself.
Hes not Christian Okoye.

There is a difference.
How many QBs get knee tears and concussions in the pocket.
Tom Brady tore his knee. Carson Palmer tore his arm and his knee, Big Ben hurt his shoulder, Peyton manning needed 4 neck surgeries, thiesman broke his leg in the pocket... People get injured in the pocket. Elway, young and Rodgers scramble a lot and never really got hurt (young did toward the end though). I do think RG3 will be a great pocket passer in due time. Saw it at Baylor with an average college Oline and I do believe that RG3 will develop into a faster Aaron Rodgers

What is your definition of a scramble then?

Leaving the pocket to avoid a sack.
Granted that a QB would be an idiot to not take advantage of the vacant yards in front of him when that happens, but Bob Griff has a bad case of end zone fever.
I think the Vikings game spoiled him.

I have to go back and watch the snaps Cousins took. I remember he had a clutch performance relieving am injured RG3 but, he did not show the same magic against SEA. Let's keep his limited play in perspective. And yes, Pat White hasn't showed or flashed potential to be a NFL QB.

It's...just...those...pesky...facts! He ran more than any rookie QB in NFL history, and has the injuries to prove it :(
Most yards not attempts, so that doesn't work.

26-of-37 for 329 yards and two TDs.
Not too shabby.

Are you being serious or sarcastic? I truly hope sarcastic because if not then it clearly means you know about as much about football as my ironing board.
