This is why I usually dismiss any highly touted QB who comes out of the college ranks with a reputation for being a strong, mobile QB. In almost every case, they are either not cut out for the NFL game or are destined for a very short NFL career due to injury.

Mobile, agile quarterbacks are so overrated in the NFL, anyway. John Elway's Broncos lost three Super Bowls by lopsided margins when he was in his prime and was a complete all-around athlete. They won two Super Bowls when he was a faded old veteran and wasn't running around very much.

Do you remember Elway's highlight-reel run against Green Bay in the Super Bowl?
