Why will his style of play not hold up? Alex smith does it, same with Russell wilson. So what says he can't play that way? Him getting dinged up this year? Russell Wilson is built similarly and runs just as much and holds up. Smith is a bit taller but has had injury concerns himself.
He did get worse after getting injured, the stats showed that for sure.
Pocket passers that use their legs to their advantage are very difficult to defend of they can play from the pocket first.
He was also essentially in his first year as a full player so he very well could regress, but he seemed more refined as a passer than you'd expect wth limited pt, so it would hopefully be less likely to happen.
I enjoy watching those guys play that way though, I will admit
