Look at my nice run

I like this run, It's a nice run. You know what I like best about it? Look at your teams H.B. on their right D.E. Their team is going to be laughing at him, while they are watching that, on game film day.

That massive block on the right end basically sprung you. I am literally laughing.

The best NFL "scrambling" QBs got a lot more done with their arms than their legs.

John Elway passed for 48,000 more yards than he rushed for (51,475 to 3,407)
Fran Tarkenton passed for over 43,000 more yards than he rushed for (47,003 to 3,674)
Steve Young passed for almost 29,000 more yards then he rushed for (33,124 to 4,239)
Randall Cunningham passed for 25,000 more yards than he rushed for (29,979 to 4,928)

That's just a few of the examples that came to mind, obviously it is far from comprehensive. You might also notice that Randall Cunningham had the highest rushing to passing yardage ratio at 1:6 and is the only QB in that list not in the Hall of Fame. Coincidence?

Now that that is out of the way I would like acknowledge that it doesn't necessarily mean anything to GLB. However if I was building a scrambling QB I would keep the above in mind, he is still likely to pass a LOT more than he runs and passing is still his primary purpose. Same thing goes if I was designing an offense around a scrambling QB. I believe that scrambling QB offenses are at their best when the THREAT of the QB rushing is enough to change the way defenses play pass coverage and helps get the receivers open. You can usually get a lot more production by hitting open receivers than you can running QB draws and bootlegs. Not to mention passing the ball well keeps your offense from becoming 1-dimensional.


U don't aways rush when scrambling

You know who was probably the best scrambling QB? Archie Manning. I don't think he ever completed a pass unless he was running full speed with 6 guys chasing him.

I've talked to a couple people in the past year that really know the QB position (I'm talking in actual football) and I was kind of surprised on what they considered mobility in a QB and who they considered the most mobile QBs were. I actually agree.

One in particular said the most mobile QB in the NFL (which was before the first game of the season, lol) was Tom Brady. He said Brady was the absolute best at moving within the pocket, especially on play fakes and moving up quickly under pressure. If Drew Bledsoe played in the last Super Bowl, the Giants would of set a sack record.

I'll probably eventually just convert my pocket QB into a dual threat QB, training speed and agility are the only things worth it anyway.

That will never happen. Pocket Passers will always be slightly better than rushing QBs.

I am excited though, because this will create a new dynamic to the game and will make it more exciting!


that is the most uneducated post i have ever read... pocket passers will always be slightly better? lol

if i put a guy in one spot EVERY play... its pretty easy to plan for him isnt it?
