Sam can move a little, but he got hit a lot more than he should have due to not moving up/around in the pocket when there was room to do so. His knees are not going to allow him to do much designed running/rollouts either if that is what Flipper is looking for.@JimmyinSD said:

“Athleticism is a unique trait for a quarterback. There’s different types of athleticism for a quarterback. There’s guys like the Michael Vick type and those types and then there’s guys that have great athleticism moving their feet in the pocket to keep plays alive to extend plays,” DeFilippo said. “I’m not a big believer in quarterbacks that are a stick in the mud back there, they’re in cement back there at 7½ yards deep. Our quarterbacks are going to have to show some form of athleticism.” Eh...I think the whole "Sam the Statue" thing was overstated to a fare-thee-well, because he had to move just to survive in 2016. He's no scrambler, but he's more mobile than he is portrayed to be.
