Mahomes has less yards, but we all know he could get more if he wanted them (hence 5.8 yards per carry and hasn't been under 5.0 the last 4 years). He's happy to threaten run and then throw it, like that LoS TD pass to Kelce just last week.
Washington and Indianapolis are the 26th and 32nd ranked scoring offenses and their QBs have been sacked 20 and 21 (most in NFL) times. You listed 4 highly mobile QBs and 2 of the worst offenses. Joe Burrow isn't a highly mobile QB, so that only leaves one of the two categories to fall under. Lol
I see the trend. I just don't think you need a highly mobile QB. Green Bay is right at 60% as well. They haven't been that great, either. I haven't really looked into anything in this discussion beyond shotgun sets are more efficient and productive than under center sets. Looking at a few historical seasons, you're definitely right on the trend that teams with mobile QBs run shotgun more often. I personally don't think you need a mobile QB to run shotgun sets more often, but that is the league trend at the moment. Slightly increasing so far this season over last league wide, but still.
