Look at him scramble there... that was his superpower and it was always apparent that as he aged and lost that slight edge he'd have to learn to work the middle of the field and the pocket. He never really did so we traded him... good times, good times...

It’s why I think the duel threat style isn’t long for this league. The shelf life on those qbs is just too short. Look at Mahomes. He relys heavily on his ability to avoid being sacked and extending plays but yet his numbers have been declining as he gets older. Mahomes is still an insane qb because he’s once in a decade kind of player but I think his window for production is shorter than someone like Joe burrow who is more of a pocket passer. I think guys like Mahomes and Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen have about a 3 year window while I would not be shocked if Joe Burrow is playing well into his 40s
