I mean, I’m on the younger side but I still don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before from a QB.. 

 


As fans we’ve seen countless examples of power, finesse, unorthodox throwing positions, holding a football like a tennis ball over the goal line (and to get first downs like this video), Flipping over people, Jumping over people, outrunning Defensive backs on many occasions, stiff arming Defensive tackles in the backfield to stay alive, pancake blocks on defensive lineman, I could probably go on but I’ve said enough. 
 

Being that physical while also being targeted with shots to the head and obviously not protected like most QBs and it didn’t change his game (for better or for worse).

Stop it.

Cam is up there. Hard to compare the older players. They played some incredibly tough football but  it's too hard for me to say if they were as physically gifted. I think of W Moon, Cunningham and McNair. Now it's pass first but back then lots of hard nose football.

Feels like someone obvious is out there I can't remember.

True story about the Manning/Leaf draft prep.  The Colts were without question considering Leaf at #1 and at many times thought he was the more talented player.  They hired a behavioral expert to interview both guys, it was that close.  The guy said I would not draft Leaf.  Bobby Bethared (Chargers GM) did the same but was so enthralled with Leafs talent he ignored the advice.  The rest is history.

These days these QBs are vetted to an amazing degree but back then the psch eval was not common.

Ill add a few different names

Best arm or best physically talented arm Ive seen - Jeff George. He could out throw a few QBs (teddy lol) today in his 60s

Otto Gramham never gets the credit he deserves, won like 10 championships and held all the records for a long time. All teams where running teams, but Otto showed you could throw the ball too.

Fran Tarkenton had like 6,000 rushing years when the next QB had like 200 or so. First real dual-threat

Randell Cunningham was already said, just to add he could punt the hell of the ball too-

 

Dante Culpepper, Steve McNair, had unreal gifts too. Brain is physical to some, Fitzmagic is super smart.... but not enough not to play ball...

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
