Message: [QUOTE="Bubba1957, post: 5086193, member: 4142"] There are 6 players eligible to handle the ball on every play. A QB that can maximize the abilities of those 6 players is valuable. The only way to do that is to throw the ball. So a passer (pocket or otherwise) is the most important trait for a QB. It’s really hard to be good at that. Being able to run is important, but not as important. So Nick needs to become a better passer. If Joe is significantly better at passing, then he should be the starter. But Nick can run and only needs to be marginally better at passing to be a better option. If Joe can really light it up then a great passer is more valuable than a decent passer/good runner. I’d say he’s played well in optimal situations, but is not perfect. I’m starting to confuse myself and trust coach Mora to make the right call. [/QUOTE]
