There was a time not so long ago that I would and did argue this point with you. Not anymore. I do like that you qualified it the way you did. I think accuracy and the ability to go through your reads is a higher priority in the grand scheme of things. But having the ability to scramble and run to a degree is also high on the list in today's NFL.
I purposely set the number low so as not to freak people out. Since most QB's only run when the field is open in front of them they tend to gain yards in chunks. Being such, if they sort of think about running more, I could see a pretty easy 40-50 yards a game. QB's can still slide for protection. That type of yardage per game puts them around 800 yards per season. QB yardage doesn't take the same type of punishment running backs take.
At any rate, I want a QB who can be a threat with his legs and arm.
