Traditionalists are correct when they say franchise quarterbacks must be able to win from the pocket, but the changing dynamics of the pro game make it increasingly important that elite passers possess the ability to make big plays in a spontaneous fashion. The exceptional speed and athleticism of dominant pass rushers in 2015 make it nearly impossible to pitch a shutout in pass protection. Thus, quarterbacks routinely are challenged to make plays when the pocket collapses. Of course, there is a fine line between improvisation and reckless spontaneity. But the spectacular playmakers are capable of balancing risk and reward when fleeing the pocket under duress.
Looking to assess the improvisational skills of the top quarterbacks in the game, I spent some time breaking down All-22 Coaches Film. Here are the five signal-callers who are most adept at working off-script in 2015:
