ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Even though much is being made of the trend of mobile quarterbacks in the last four Super Bowls -- from Colin Kaepernick to Russell Wilson and now Cam Newton -- they aren't a particularly new breed. Those quarterbacks may not be the same style of dual-threat quarterbacks as Bob Griese, Roger Staubach and Fran Tarkenton, but they do share some similar stylistic DNA.
And to say that the age of the pocket passer is dead seems to be jumping the gun a bit. This is still a league where Peyton Manning is in the Super Bowl, where Tom Brady continues to flourish, where Joe Flacco and Drew Brees and Eli Manning have Super Bowl rings for their work in recent years.
