The 'sandlot antics' aren't going to work at the NFL level. Do you think you can teach a guy to play QB all of a sudden? No. When has that ever happened? Do guys like this ultimately fail in the NFL? Ask Kaepernick, RG3, Vick, etc. (And there are plenty of other guys who didn't even enjoy the modicum of success that those guys did.) Bottle them up, make them beat you with their arm. You'll be fine.
You need a real passer in the NFL, unless you are just interested in selling jerseys and beating the bottom half of the league.

Well, to be fair, Mahomes wasn't exactly a polished pocket passer coming into the league.
But I do agree with the overall tenor of the argument for the most part. You can win with those guys and win in the playoffs as we've seen. But it's tough, you need breaks and at some point, you've gotta win from the pocket.
