Mike Vick ran a 4.3 and could throw 70 yards from his knees.
Randall Cunningham. Steve Young. Donavan McNabb. Steve McNair.
None or these guys were completing 75% with a 120 rating though, and tbh, these physical traits don't directly link to being super efficient anyway. Most of the best QBs in league history were actually very unathletic. Tom Brady was such a guy at 25 years old. Here he is at 44 and dominating with his slow self.
True but those guys had to adopt to the NFL while the NFL and Coaches are adopting to the mobile QB now.
I'm not saying that rules do not play a factor but teams are definitely playing at a faster pace and spreading out more often. Teams were not running a shot gun offense 60% of the time, teams were not running 3 wide sets 70% of the time, and teams were not running the read option.
