Warner: Successful NFL QBs make plays 'inside the pocket'

McCarthy isn't afraid to throw into tight windows in the middle of the field, he's actually very good at it. He looks to throw first, he isn't looking to run at the slightest pressure. And when he does scramble or roll out, he's very accurate throwing. He's got the aptitude, hopefully this potential can be realized and he'll be that 'inside the pocket' guy that has success as a thrower.

I think the notion that there are only 2 types of QBs is mis-leading.  All you ever hear about is mobile vs pocket,  run first, more athlete than QB vs statue is what many seem to think when this subject comes up ,  but IMO that is grossly overlooking what a the best QBs in the game,  and those are the guys that manipulate the pocket by being able to move around in it and keep the defense guessing on their rush lanes and moves.  Brady was never much of runner,  but what made him so good was his ability to drift, slide, step up to avoid pressures and give his OL a little help and himself a few more ticks... see the same from Mahomes and Rogers,  although they have been known to take play that are there with their feet, but they typically are using those legs to buy time and set up a pass, often still in the pocket area.  I think Cousins needed more of this and would have been deadly if he had ever learned to move around and help his OL.  Hopefully JJM has that ability for us.

Was just reading about Penix this morning. Apparently, he's been inconsistent with his accuracy in camp: hits some great throws, straight up misses some easy ones. Like last night.
