Payton is the last of his breed. It’s the end of the pocket QB. Defense coordinators have figured them out. Payton and Eli are finished. The era of the pass and run QB begins.

Good QB will always have to be effective from the pocket. Running adds a dimension to success but in the end if a guy can’t master the 3, 5, 7 trees they won’t be an effective QB. Look at RG3, he lacks the pure pocket skills and with his knee in bad shape he was worthless. Meanwhile look at Luck who can run, but he focuses on passing first. Same with Wilson. And there’s still Rodgers and Brees and River, pocket guys are no more a dieing breed now than they were in 1983 when Elway came into the league and people predicted scramblers were going to take over.

In my 43 years of Manning dislike, I have been privileged to see Peyton Humiliated. First time, he lost to Memphis State at home in his Junior year at UT, at home, running an otherwise perfect year. I am 72 on 10 lpm of 02, and been doing the happy dance since Sunday. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!

Pocket passers are not finished because of pass & run quarterbacks. Pass and run quarterbacks are becoming more common because of a dearth of good pocket passers.

Seahawks defense won the game. If Russell Wilson was a pocket passer, Seattle still wins the game.
