I think that, like Aaron Rogers or Russell Wilson, he makes some plays that open up because of his ability outside of the pocket.
And any non-braindead offensive coordinator designing an offense for him would incorporate his scrambling/rollout ability into designed offensive plays. But the NFL is still a pocket-based league. And the fact that Houston's O-line cannot allow him to play cleanly from the pocket puts a ceiling on far he can take that offense.
He's very good now. He could be an MVP with a non-shitty offensive line.
(And if they don't get him O-line help soon, there's a very real risk he'll become "DeShaun Watson, if he had stayed healthy . . ." within five years)
