Mobile QB - Requirement in CFB?

Definitely not a requirement. Look at the QBs Alabama has won titles with. Cement footed statues.

Saban's offense is evolving.  Hurts was rated one of the top dual threat QBs in the 16' class.  Tua Tagovailoa was rated the number one dual threat QB in the 17' class.

True. But so were the other QBs who didn't show that instinct.

Why you be raining on my Gebbia parade? 

I am anxious to see what Frost does with Gebbia.

To be fair, I understand it's not a "requirement", but unless you can recruit top linemen, top WR's, and top RB's, it's pretty much a requirement.  

This is a non-statement. It's a requirement for...what? If you don't have good linemen and skill players, you're not going to win championships, period, even with Johnny Manziel as your quarterback.

Are mobile quarterbacks a requirement in college football? No. Obviously not. Are they helpful? If they're really good. The same way that traditional quarterbacks are helpful if they're really good.

If you don't have elite level linemen, WR's, and RB's, a non-mobile QB has to be an amazing passer to make the offense work.  It requires too much from other players to make the offense work.  I think a mobile QB is a requirement for an offense which isn't getting top 5 or top 10 recruiting class talent every year, that's if you want the offense to be a top 1/3 of the NCAA offense.
