No he doesn't scramble well due to his injuries. Just another red flag. If the play isn't there, then h just ditches the play which sometimes is the best play, but not having the ability to scramble or throw on the move is a major red flag? Dude literally had 8 yards rushing this season? That means NFL defenses will know alexactly where he will be, so now you just have opposing defenses pinning their ears back. Greeeeaat more of the same.
If he didn't scramble well his sacks would be higher, secondly I seen him run, he doesn't have a problem, the issue is possible future injuries, also his release is fast to anywhere so he gets the ball off fast.
Doesn't matter if NFL defenses know where you are at if you get the ball out quickly. Brady averaged 55 yds rushing a season. So did Manning. They both seemed to do okay when defenses knew where they were at.
Was there a minimum number of snaps for these %s Ivo? I know the concern with JJ is that he wasn't asked to do as much as some of the other guys because of the scheme and that % could be skewed due to the low number of times he had to scramble.
It was on one of the podcasts, I'll see if I can track it down later. I don't think there was a minimum number of passes.
Uhm yes behind the top rated Oline in college football. Also there wasn't much for pass rushers in the pac12. If he goes to a team with an average or less in the NFL, I dont see him making a full season he is to much like Tua & Burrow. Seriously you can't defend only having 8 yards rushing. That leads me to believe he isn't able to scramble for a 1st down when needed?
Nix yes, Mcarthy no. Penix is a lock to be a starting QB in the NFL.
I suggest you go watch his tape at Indiana. He has wheels and can roll. He chooses not to, to save his body.
Uhm wasn't like the last 8 UW games close down to the wire games? You should have seen some sign he can scramble "if needed" at any point,in any of those games.
As much as I like the guy MP9, I can't for one minute pretend that you aren't bringing up an excellent point.
I dont have anything personally against Penix. We're talking about a league full of elite athletes, he's not jumping college conferences, he is going to the league where everyone is big or fast or both. If he couldn't scramble in the pac 12, he isn't running in the NFL. Which is to bad cause if he was able to escape pressure / scramble we would be talking Penix with the top 3 QB's. His age wouldn't be a factor if not for the injuries imo?
