Let's see how long these young turks last before saying no way to a promising QB with little mobility but all the other tools.

Smart scramblers will last longer, Wilson will last longer than Allen unless Allen tones it down. But until offensive lines become brick walls again, I don’t think we will go back. There have always been scramblers but it’s been increasing. The problem is that mobile QBs are the rage in high school and college and that is where your talent pool is coming from. Also OCs like it bc it still gives the play a chance to succeed. There will be exceptions, Burrow is the closest I can think of to a pocket passer.
