Some people feel that he's a much less effective QB if he can't run, and running increases risk of injury.
It's more of an old-school thought process, but he's not come close to throwing for 4000 yards in a season, which has been a benchmark for years with QBs.
I think in general it's a dislike for true dual-threat QBs succeeding in the NFL because they want their QB to throw and the RB to rush.
I think he's a special talent, he's just a very different style than what most fans are accustomed to and they don't think he can succeed long-term.
I’m not disagreeing with you in the slightest. I just think it’s insanity to heap so much criticism on a quarterback (who also rushes like no other) that’s gone 35-8, reached the highest number of wins for a QB before the age of 25, reached the post-season in his first three years, shattered the single season rushing record for a quarterback, been voted MVP and is going to set numerous other records… for which he cares not one iota. All he wants to do is win. Every game. Every time. He plays like a kid who loves what he does. And on top of that, he’s humble, a self-critic, a true motivator and a leader.
What more could you ask for?
