Nobody is as bad as Tua at this point, but he’s very much bottom tier among starting QBs in mobility. Him and guys like Geno Smith/Mac Jones are comparable.
Also, that list is a bit odd to me considering much more mobile QBs (Kyler Murray, Zach Wilson and Trevor Lawrence for just a few examples) are much lower than him so I wonder what it is actually measuring.
Anyway, the last thing on the 49ers offense we are going to be worrying about is Brock Purdy going off and running. He’s welcome to try but SF is gonna want him standing in the pocket as long as possible throwing to Deebo, Aiyuk and Kittle when they aren’t handing it off to CMC.
