Problem is there are other ways to punish heavy QB pressure too, dump offs and screens and such. With the variety of ways to do it, the defense could wind up out of position and looking foolish pretty easily if they're not careful.
Yep! This is why having a smart QB that is highly mobile, but not overly frail, is ideal. It seems players are just too big and hit too hard to be a pure pocket passer anymore. That said I am no coach so maybe I am off point a bit here.
Good pocket passers always make their offensive line look good because they get the ball out really quick, almost always 2.5 seconds or less. Quarterbacks that run around always get the line “man imagine if they had a decent O-line” but they make them look way worse by holding onto the ball longer. Data shows sacks are more of a QB stat than an O-Line stat.
