More running QB's at Iowa please

[tm3308]

I definitely want guys who can run. I don't want Taylor Martinez or Denard Robinson, necessarily, but guys who can make plays with their feet. A guy like Marcus Mariota is the elite version of the type of player I'd like to see the Hawks have; he could absolutely excel as that run-first QB in a spread system (like Jeremiah Masoli did before him at Oregon), but he was a passer first, and a damn good one at that.

Guys like Stanzi could move a little and Tate was a wizard in the pocket, but CJ is more like Banks with a better arm.

Better arms are better weapons for QBs. Ask any credible OC. College or pro. If the defense can stack the box with 8 or 9 guys, which is what will happen with a QB 'with a noodle arm' (unless it's Iowa's defense), it'll still be difficult for any QB to gain running yardage.

I like Pocket QBs who can run when needed. I hate pure scramblers, it's a gimmick that limits you.

Then Boyle is your man. Similar build as Mariota, strong arm, and quick.
