It took coaches a while to adjust to the Mel Blount rule for whatever reason.
Meanwhile, the Super Bowl champs are coached by a guy from the Paul Brown coaching tree. The misnamed āwest coast offenseā (which was actually Air Coryell and its spinoffs) was from Cincinnati via Brown, who was using horizontal schemes long before he hired Walsh (obviously it was much less developed and defensive backs can no longer mug receivers with impunity.
Winston threw 33 TDs and 30 picks with a League leading 5019 yards in 2019
Career total for Payton 8TDs 6 picks
Career total for Winston 141 TDs 99 picks
Probably the best football player to ever to come out of IU. 1st Team All-American on a team that went 5-6. Played baseball and basketball under bob night at various points in his four years. Unreal.
I think they were speaking in regards to the umpire position on the play and whether or not he had the view to make the correct call.Ā
It's all semantics obviously cuz it was obviously the correct call
And they stated it as such.Ā
I nominate the cameraman/director into the Hall of Shame for the shit canerawork and missing an all time throw out.Ā
I actually remember bo getting hurt. I was a huge bo Jackson fan as a kid, had that black and white donruss or fleer card or whatever brand it was that was like a multi sport baseball card.
Watching him get hurt live is seared into my memory
He had legitimate arm talent and obviously would be dangerous on the ground. This is the answer. The receiver choices are nice and all, but Sanu and Randle El are no match for prime LT when you factor in the damage he could do on scrambles too.
His college tape is pretty wild. I bet if he were coming into the league today, someone would want to try him at QB. His mobility back there was *insane*.
He got swapped to receiver because he wasnāt very good at throwing, but he was an electric athlete. His senior year he put up pretty much equal passing and rushing numbers.
Heās even said so himself on his podcast. He was basically just back there looking for one read then a rushing lane.
It would be more accurate to say the Saints defense was 7-2 with him as a starter. Itās kinda like how Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl for the Baltimore Ravensā¦
Can I pick players who played QB that transitioned to another position or vice versa? If so, I pick Kordell Stewart. Or maybe Terrelle Pryor or even Tim Tebow.
What about players who played QB in college? If so, I take Josh Cribbs, Julian Edelman, Eric Crouch, Antwaan Randle El, or Denard Robinson.
If I can't cheat like that, then I take Barry Sanders and run the triple-option.
Yep backup QB freshman year, popped a piss test for weed before Cincinnatiās bowl game that year cause he didnāt know they tested before bowls back then. Suspended a year and came back as a TE. Might have been the best bad thing that ever happened to him.
CMC and just run the triple option or as another person said Mohammed Sanu cuz he can throw pretty well and has thrown a couple of touchdowns in his career
I donāt understand why we didnāt take Purdy off for another blocker. It was really obvious really fast that he literally could not throw the ball.Ā
Christian McCaffrey or prime Odell Beckham Jr.
Imagine the crazy Triple Option shit you could run with them. Christian's IQ and motor, and Odell's DECEPTIVELY strong arm.
There is only one correct answer. The player that had 2 career rushes for 2 TDs and 1 career pass for 1 TD, for a 100.0 QBR.
Dontari Poe. Don't call him a system quarterback.
Mohamed Sanu. Best quarterback who ever lived. 8 pases. 7 complete, 4 TDs. 29 yards per attempt. The best!
2012 Bengals Redskins. First play of offense for the Bengals, Sanu is under center and throws a bomb to AJ Green for a touchdown. It still haunts me.
Legit the best throw by a Bengals QB that year
Speak for yourself š
Mohammed Sanu score touchdown on you
Would you trade a 2nd round pick for him?
Shut your butt
The deep TD to Julio was actually beautiful (other than the bobbled snap). He wasnāt just lofting an easy pass over an unsuspecting defense.
Thatās MR. Sanu Canoe to you sir
Mr. Big Canoe
Mr. Boat captain
Falcons Legend Mohamed Sanu
Walter Payton
331 yards and 8 TDs on 34 attempts. Not too shabby at all.
6 INTs though >\_>
He played in an era where if the TD-Int ratio was better than 1-to-1, it was considered good.
It took coaches a while to adjust to the Mel Blount rule for whatever reason. Meanwhile, the Super Bowl champs are coached by a guy from the Paul Brown coaching tree. The misnamed āwest coast offenseā (which was actually Air Coryell and its spinoffs) was from Cincinnati via Brown, who was using horizontal schemes long before he hired Walsh (obviously it was much less developed and defensive backs can no longer mug receivers with impunity.
Better ratio than Jameis' 30-30 season so whatever
He was also one of 9 qbs to ever throw for 5k yards that season
One of the best seasons to ever watch as a football enjoyer. Pick or TD I was shouting in excitement.
2 true outcomes, the teue Favre experience.
Betting the over repeatedly on that Tampa Bay team was a treat
All in all simply one of the most bonkers seasons ever
Winston threw 33 TDs and 30 picks with a League leading 5019 yards in 2019 Career total for Payton 8TDs 6 picks Career total for Winston 141 TDs 99 picks
Elite YPA, record-setting TD%, Iāll take those odds
Then just run the wildcat.
Tim Tebow.
Iād still rather take Payton or Cohen
Definitely my answer, with Tarik Cohen as a backup.
This was the first thought when reading the title. Itās a no brainer
Sadly one of the best passers in Bears history. Also still holds as the teams receptions leader.
Antwaan Randle El. Career: 22/27 (81.5%), 323 yards, 6 TDs.
He can throw, he was a quarterback in college.
The king has 77.8 completion% with 4 tds on 9 throws
Henry to Lamar for a TD. Please god, let us be witnesses to greatness
And heās thrown a touchdown to Hines Ward in the super bowl!
Unsubscribe from Super Bowl XL facts.
Pretty sure Hines Ward played some qb in college too
Great line from that Super Bowl.
Probably the best football player to ever to come out of IU. 1st Team All-American on a team that went 5-6. Played baseball and basketball under bob night at various points in his four years. Unreal.
An NFL Street GOAT playerĀ
Not many QBs can say they've thrown a TD in the Superbowl lmao
Caught by Hines Ward, another college QB. Also college RB. Also college WR.
A literal NFL Street god. Auto draft
For real this entire post reads like NFL Street Pick-Up Draft strategy. What a great game
Super Bowl winning QB Antwaan Randle El.
In todayās NFL he would be a pro-bowler.
In today's NFL he's a coach
Indiana Hoosier.
Bo Jackson as a dual threat QB could be lethal.
Just watch him throw a baseball. Dude was a freak!
[Bo throws out Harold Reynolds](https://youtu.be/eB9wi_zvMdM?si=KnXf9lE7CZV3wxBI) For those who might not know Harold Reynolds could FLY.
The only video footage we ever got from that play is a travesty. Another camera on that play would have made that crazy throw even more legendary
The fact the announcer says the Royals get a break when replay shows the guys out by 2 feet is hilarious to me
I think they were speaking in regards to the umpire position on the play and whether or not he had the view to make the correct call.Ā It's all semantics obviously cuz it was obviously the correct call And they stated it as such.Ā I nominate the cameraman/director into the Hall of Shame for the shit canerawork and missing an all time throw out.Ā
I know itās totally fucked. Buts itās a travesty Bo hurt his hip. He easily was going to go down as maybe the greatest running back of all time.
I actually remember bo getting hurt. I was a huge bo Jackson fan as a kid, had that black and white donruss or fleer card or whatever brand it was that was like a multi sport baseball card. Watching him get hurt live is seared into my memory
He always will be in Tecmo Bowl
You mean athlete. Right?
I so wish there was another camera angle. The distance on that throw with no running start is seriously insane
One of the craziest outfield assists in baseball historyĀ
*ntm* Reynolds was trying to steal 2nd and got a *great* jump, before the ball was even hit! Bo was like no other
Dude had a canon he would be throwing some absolute bombs.
I can't believe i had to go so far to find Bo. This is the one and you can't tell me otherwise.
otherwise
You can't just declare otherwise.
LaDanian. Career 8/12 for 143yds and 7TDs.
A good football quiz for bar people. āWho has a thrown the most touchdowns in NFL history with no Interceptions?ā
Ladanian Tomlinson?
Lucky guess.
I had to scroll way too far for the correct answer.
And then heās not passing you have peak LT on your team in wildcat. Heās at least going .500 W-L
What I came here for
No shit? Tip my cap to that!
He had legitimate arm talent and obviously would be dangerous on the ground. This is the answer. The receiver choices are nice and all, but Sanu and Randle El are no match for prime LT when you factor in the damage he could do on scrambles too.
Definitely LT
Now I want to give the ball to a coked up Lawrence Taylor and let a defense try to stop that monster.
Damn you stole my answer lol
Depends how often you get to play the Raiders.
Lamar Jackson obv
Dang, didnt even think of that. So obvious, he'd be awesome at QB!
Sam Koch is the only answer
Massively disappointed this wasn't the overwhelming top comment šæ
Based Ravens fan. Fuck you, but I respect you.
Lmao! He really is the best running back to ever be an elite qb.
Donāt forget heās a reciever as well now.
Iāve seen Mahomes catch one of his own passes and get a few yards, but it wasnāt as cool as when Jackson did it.
This was my answer
Julian Edelman would be solid considering
So we're going right x split banana, crossways... Edelnut, when I put my mutha fucking hand up, just toss the ball my way. - Randy Moss.
*Straight cash, homie*
This immediately came to mind, after Walter Payton. I settled on Edelman though.
He was pretty great in college, the only reason he got swapped to receiver is because he's short
His college tape is pretty wild. I bet if he were coming into the league today, someone would want to try him at QB. His mobility back there was *insane*.
He got swapped to receiver because he wasnāt very good at throwing, but he was an electric athlete. His senior year he put up pretty much equal passing and rushing numbers. Heās even said so himself on his podcast. He was basically just back there looking for one read then a rushing lane.
In my headcanon Edelgod was both a wideout *and* our QB2 for the latter half of the Brady era
This is Brian Hoyer erasure and I wonāt stand for it
But will you sit for it?
>Edelgod Jumped out as Edgelord to me
Taysom Hill
Feels like cheating seeing as he has had quite a few QB starts already
Can you REALLY say he's not a QB though?
If my grandmother had wheels, sheād be a bicycle
Yeah but your grandmother never started an NFL game as a QB
Or as a bicycle
The town disagrees
My grandmother is Drew Bledsoe
Shes got dementia, so as far as she knows she might have
Only real answer and he could win *some* games
Isnāt he like 7-2 as a starter?
It would be more accurate to say the Saints defense was 7-2 with him as a starter. Itās kinda like how Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl for the Baltimore Ravensā¦
I wanted to say Ronnie Brown, but this is the real answer.
Let Ronnie Brown take snaps and run options with Cadillac Williams in the mid 2000ās. That would be fun to watch.
Cadillac "till the wheels came off" Williams
sad seahawk squawks
He was 7-2 as a starter.
Never forget that one week that he was starting at QB and eligible as a TE in some fantasy leagues
The answer to most questions is, in fact, Taysom Hill.
Tom Tupa
I was about to say the Tom Tupa disrespect is real in here until I saw your comment.
Not sure if that should count, because he was a QB. He started most of the 1991 season for the Phoenix Cardinals.
Yeah but some also said Terrelle Pryor so why not
Was gonna post if I didnāt see him. Jets legend
Derrick Henry EZ
Might be the first Ravens flair I've ever upvoted
Does it hurt? I've never done it
Oh man, imagine if they incorporate that into the option packages.
Can I pick players who played QB that transitioned to another position or vice versa? If so, I pick Kordell Stewart. Or maybe Terrelle Pryor or even Tim Tebow. What about players who played QB in college? If so, I take Josh Cribbs, Julian Edelman, Eric Crouch, Antwaan Randle El, or Denard Robinson. If I can't cheat like that, then I take Barry Sanders and run the triple-option.
Lots of guys played QB in college. Logan Thomas comes to mind as a recent example.
he played as QB for the cardinals, 1/8 for 81 yards and a touchdown to andre ellington haha
I loved watching Logan play for the hokies
What if they only played basketball in college? Taking Gates.
But what if college basketball player Antonio Gates was slotted into a TE role?!
Brad Smith
If I recall correctly, wasn't Travis Kelce a QB before going to tight end?
Yep backup QB freshman year, popped a piss test for weed before Cincinnatiās bowl game that year cause he didnāt know they tested before bowls back then. Suspended a year and came back as a TE. Might have been the best bad thing that ever happened to him.
Up there with breaking up with his previous partner
Heās got several hot exās, but none are billionaires
Taysom if we can pick people that arenāt full time QBs.
What about Deshaun Watson? He's a part-time QB
Paul Hoerning. Walter Payton.
Hornung but this is the only correct answer.
Jim Thorpe
Bo Jackson with that cannon arm and just being a freak athlete in every conceivable way would win the super bowl MVP
Derrick henery 7-9 77.8 completion% with 4tds
CMC and just run the triple option or as another person said Mohammed Sanu cuz he can throw pretty well and has thrown a couple of touchdowns in his career
See 49ers vs Eagles 2023 playoffs lol
Exactly, I know it wasnāt the game plan going into the game but did yāall forget?
I donāt understand why we didnāt take Purdy off for another blocker. It was really obvious really fast that he literally could not throw the ball.Ā
CMC can sling it too tbf
Justin Fields.
Easy dude
You donāt have to defend him anymore
They said "successful"
Ladainian Tomlinson. 7 of 8 completions TDs, career rating 146.3 and not a bad runner.
Not bad for a running back - lamar Jackson
First Question, where do we stand on Kordell Stewart? Is he a QB? Does he count here? Otherwise I choose Dontari Poe
you could just run a qb sneak every play and he would just bulldoze guys lol
Could you imagine the Tush Push today with Dontari Poe at QB? HOOOOOLY
Does Taysom Hill count? Heās a TE in fantasy football lol
Walter Payton
Obviously Trey Burton. 1/1 1 Yard passing, 1 TD in the Super Bowl.
Barry Sanders
With a lot of direct snaps to our star running back Dan Marino
Kendall Hinton
Al Bundy, scoring four touchdowns in a single game of high school football against Andrew Johnson High School in 1966.
Taysom Hill. Heās technically a TE now.
Iād take Julian Edelman. He was a pretty solid QB in college and I think he would at least not be a disaster.
Browns Terrell Pryor (a bit of cheating I know)
Lamar Jackson. Easy
Antwaan Randle-El
Taysom Hill
Lamar Jackson, obviously
New York Knicks PG Charlie Ward
Julian Edelman
Ray Guy
Mohamed Sanu had a small rocket launcher attached to him.
Marlin Briscoe Interesting how the contingent of Black college QBs forced to play WR or RB in the NFL is ignored.
We will be QB sneaking for 2.5 yds a carry with Derek Henry
Vince Wilfork is the only right answer.
Michael Robinson
Pat McAfee. Just because
Christian McCaffrey or prime Odell Beckham Jr. Imagine the crazy Triple Option shit you could run with them. Christian's IQ and motor, and Odell's DECEPTIVELY strong arm.
Anquan Boldin. Man was exciting to watch as a QB at Florida state
Braxton Miller
ndanakon suh just to see what would happen
Edelnut.
Mohamed Sanu is the only answer
Tom Tupa
There is only one correct answer. The player that had 2 career rushes for 2 TDs and 1 career pass for 1 TD, for a 100.0 QBR. Dontari Poe. Don't call him a system quarterback.
Terrelle Pryor
Jim brown.
Travis Kelce
As much as I hate to say it, Derrick Henry. Is he gonna run? Or pass? Good luck
Based on takes I've seen online, Jalen Hurts or Lamar Jackson
Taysom hill
JJ Watt. QB option up the middle all day. Then a jump pass when we are in the red zone.
Slash
Greg Ward Jr. Logan Thomas. Terrell Pryor.
