But they were not statues, either. I hate saying anything positive about Tom Brady. But he’s not a statue. He slides a little to the right he slides a little to the left you don’t get a really good clean hit on him.
Peyton was very much the same way. He wasn’t gonna run for a first down but he wouldn’t try that either. He would move side to side he would step up, and sometimes he would take a hit to deliver to Ball.
Kansas City quarterback Mahomes, he doesn’t run a lot down the field unless he has a great big opening and then he gets his ass out of bounds. He slides he move side to side really well looking for receivers.
Mahomes has learned that it’s better to evade rushers and get rid of the ball than and try to run up field and get his head knocked off.
Baltimore’s quarterback who’s name escapes me right now, once he takes off he’s a runner in the defense gonna line him up and blow him up. Also once he heads up field the d backs now become tacklers, they don’t have to play pass defense, they can just attack.
It’s to the advantage of the offense for a kid like Mahomes to extend plays and run those defense of backs to exhaustion. It is to the defenses advantage to make a quarterback break and then run up Field, where they can beat him up and now he’s exhausted. Once that quarterback goes across the line of scrimmage everybody knows there’s only one thing that can happen and that’s a run. Sure you give up some yards but in the long run You get a free shot on the quarterback and you wear him out. And now it’s harder for him to put his foot in the ground and then let loose with a pass downfield.
Football is a war of attrition it always has been. If your quarterback keeps giving up the advantage of making plays behind the line of scrimmage you put the defense in a much better position for an entire game.
