I'm not even talking about running. Just move the damn pocket. Escape a sack. He's taking more hits by being a statue.
He could help the offense even more by being evasive behind the line of scrimmage.

It's easier said than done when the Pats have only really shown to be a threat on the run, and opposing defenses don't fear the receivers at all. It means they can send 8 basically every time. Even if you have a good to great OL, which the Pats have, it's difficult to stand in the pocket with blitzers running free at him frequently. Even Brady dealt with this last season.
