Analysis: The era of the running quarterback is upon us

CNN  

CNN — The quarterback position has completely changed in the NFL. Think of the best quarterbacks in today’s NFL – in particular Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who have been dominating the MVP conversation. Both are well below the league average in sack rate: Allen’s second at 2.82% and Jackson’s fifth at 4.63% among those who have started at least half their team’s games. There were 18 quarterbacks this season who played in at least half their team’s games and picked up at least 15 yards per game. Beyond Allen and Jackson, other quarterbacks with at least four rushing touchdowns who are in the playoffs this year are Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, Bo Nix and Justin Fields.
