I am making an argument about logic and you are making an argument about feelings, footspeed, and avoiding the point, bye

I'm not. I watched the OSU and ND games. Rourke was horrifically awful. 

You brought up Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Bye.

Kanye Udoh to AZ State. Nice Skattebo replacement for them.

Yes, totally serious, you said IU would never beat an elite team without a mobile QB, but lots of elite teams lose to non-elite teams all the time when the non-elite teams have relatively stationary QBs.

You are arguing for a preference: mobile QB over immobile one. Basically everyone shares that; if Peyton Manning had Mike Vick’s legs he’d be better. I and most others share your preference. But your logic (x can’t happen without y) is not sound.

And the original argument was about the preference of an accurate OR mobile quarterback.  NOBODY has said that they want an immobile quarterback.

Completely different style of play:

Mendoza from Cal is a tall pocket passer with established success ala Rourke. 

Pribula from PSU is a dual threat running QB without nearly as much of a proven resume.

I like the comparison of Mendoza and Rourke, except Mendoza can move in the pocket, while Rourke's feet seemed to be stuck in the sand.

Did you not watch our ND and OSU games? Do you not remember how Bama has been beaten? Moblie QBs. 

 

And now you are done.  ALABAMA HAD A MOBILE QUARTERBACK and lost to those teams.  They scored 3 points against 6-6 Oklahoma.

Adios.

Lolololololol .... you didnt read well. I asked "how has Bama been beaten" by moblie QBs.... go look through the years, who's beaten Bama when Bama has been good? Moblie QBs. 

Do you not pay attention? Mercy.

It is worth mentioning that Mendoza was one of the most sacked quarterbacks in D1.  I do realize that Cal's line wasn't good, but at the end of the day he was sacked 41 times in 11 games.  

Because of the way that the NCAA keeps rushing stats, it is hard to see true rushing numbers.  Mendoza is listed as having 87 runs for 105 yards, but sacks are counted as runs in the NCAA.  So he would have had 46 true runs but without a better breakdown, don't know the rushing numbers.

I love how Oklahoma and Tennessee's mobile QBs beat Alabama by holding them to 3 and 17 points.  Such a great job.

Watched Mendoza 3 times this year and that was plenty enough to see he's Lamar Jackson compared to Rourke.

I don't think anyone is thinking Jackson Arnold is a pocket passer, so yes?

I'm not arguing that Mendoza isn't more mobile.  But mobile doesn't always result in less sacks and in Mendoza's case they didn't.  Dan Marino was one of the least sacked quarterbacks in both college and the pros.

Hi, my name is Certified Sunshine Pumper and I'm a illogical conclusion jumper.

Have fun arguing with yourself.  I'll let the thread go back to its intended topic.

What does 6-6 have to do with anything? I thought you wanted a mobile QB? None of the Oklahoma QBs could throw a lick, but Jackson Arnold certainly has or had legs. With a huge assist from his defense, he was able to churn out 131 yards on 25 carries from the QB position to beat Alabama. A bit confused what you're trying to argue at this point. I don't think anyone wants a statue at QB
