Burrow and play action

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. 

I don't know if he still is considered one at his age, but Rodgers was much like Mahomes in that he could have a lot more rushing yards if he wanted to, but was more than happy just showing off his elite arm most of the time. He has also had a 269 rushing yards at 6.3 yards per carry season in the last 5 years and is a career 4.9 yards per carry rusher even with all the victory formation kneels you know he's done.

I don't know if it's a need, but it sure seems like the successful examples tend to be mobile QBs which I don't think Burrow was even before two different injured knees in two years. Burrow seems much more in the vein of Manning/Brady/Brees than Rodgers/Mahomes, and certainly not in the vein of Hurts/Allen/Murray/D Jones. 

Do you have the career shotgun/under center % for Manning/Brady/Brees? That'd be interesting to know.
