No. This was his exact quote....

Note what happens when defenses adjust; unless the QB in question is also a true QB (in other words works effectively from the pocket) they do not prosper.
See any difference?
I knew exactly what Joelist was talking about. Ron Jaworski claimed Kaepernick was going to be the greatest QB in history. ESPN practically worshipped Tim Tebow. Robert Griffen was taken second in the draft. All of these QBs were called great because they were supposedly "duel threat QBs". Experts tried to claim that their running ability would make up for what they lacked in passing ability, but they were wrong.
