Roll outs, play fakes and even a little more TE involvment in the passing game would help.

So, football success CAN exist without the traditional pocket passer...

No it can't. You can go play action all day long (and we have). But on 3rd and long you have to be able to throw the ball from the pocket. Deshaun Watson can do that. In fact as I'm typing he did exactly that with a 30 yard rope down the seam. He's not a gimmick QB and when he fails on basic football plays, it's not because we should be running nothing but non-traditional offense.
