@@kevinthomas2906 That doesn't mean his play and attitude weren't terrible, which would explain why after being drafted #12 overall and making only 15 starts, he was out of the league after two seasons by the age of 23.
they d say anything to kiss a white Qb ass especially if he gotta huge red wife forehead but can't even say that Lamar n his college accolades/ numbers is nfl ready 20 years later btw
@@ReezyR because the nfl wasn’t what it used to be. What are we supposed to kiss the ground black nfl players walk on? 😂😂 stfu crying about that shit if he was better he’d probably be noticed for it. It’s just not that big of a deal to break his record nowadays.
Lol. How about Boller??!! I played high school Football with him. I was one of the QBs a year behind him at Hart High in Newhall, CA in the late 1990s. Say what you want about his NFL career, but there was no denying that he had an absolute CANNON. Even in high school he could throw the 🏈 75 yards. I saw it regularly.
In 1990, the first ever QB challenge took place. The winner was Ken O'Brien. In the 1991 and 1992 edition of the challenge, Dan Marino won. In 1993, Jeff Hostetler won the QB challenge. In 1994 and 1995, Randall Cunningham won the QB challenge. In 1996, Neil O'Donnell won. In 1997, Vinny Testaverde won. In 1998, Jim Harbaugh won. In 1999 and 2000, Jake Plummer won. In 2001, Trent Dilfer won. In 2002, Jeff Garcia won. In 2003, Brad Johnson won. In 2004, Matt Hasselbeck won. In 2005, Jake Delhomme won. In 2006, Chris Simms won and in 2007, the very last one, Josh McCown won. I would like to see this brought back. It would be interesting to see how modern QBs would do in this challenge.
You know what’s funny is the guys that won this challenge were either the best qb in the league that year or top 5-10 at least I’m supprised Warner never won it or did it. They should bring this back.
Greg Gumbel and Phil Simms, the lead announce team for the NFL on CBS, were working this fun event. Today, if the Quarterback Challenge came back, Ian Eagle and Charles Davis or Trent Green would call the action. Sadly, you won’t see Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. They don’t even do preseason games.
This needs to return. It’s also pretty great to see a group of elite QBs where only two of them have rings and one of them is Brad Johnson, who looks like he’s having a blast.
1999 to 2000 strikes me as a pretty noteworthy point where the NFL lacked a lot of high quality quarterbacks in the league. Especially 2000. Marino, Elway, and Young all retired. Favre was there, but had a dip in play, Gannon was having a late career surge, Peyton/Culpepper/McNabb were getting started, and Warner was probably the best. Other than that it wasn't that great. McNair wouldn't take off as a true air maestro until 2001. Brunell was meh. I guess Jeff Garcia had his best year. Other veterans like Elvis Grbac had maybe a career year, and that was it. In this video Jim Harbaugh, Tony Banks, Chris Chandler, and Cade McNown somehow got an invite.
Didn't realize McNown could sling it 72 yards in the deep ball challenge. He was a bust for Chicago, I always thought the bears put him in too early. He wasn't ready mentally yet to start and after two seasons they cut him loose.
Thanks for the upload... Those were the great times. The pretenders and the contenders showed off. No hogwash about arm strength in the press but a true eye test. And here comes the surprise: McNown throwing 72 yards, twice (and another 69 yarder). Wow! I only remembered his wobbling 10 yard throws in Chicago... Thus there must be something in the air over there making Chicago QBs look and play real bad consistently. Maybe it carried over from the 88 Fog Bowl? Either way: It makes legendary Jim McMahon all the more impressive (the last true QB that Chicago witnessed). The only guy next to Sid Luckman to have some kind of success over there. "Only" problem he played with half of a body and mostly did not get further than the first half of a season. That is exactly two QBs in 80+ years. Needless to say Fields will fail (he is already in the middle of the failure process). Even Philadelphia folk hero Foles couldn't prevail in northern QB hell.
Not a lot of people watched them, compared to the games. Networks pulled the plug, in favor of shows that gained casual attention. Fans watched but casual fans passed on challenges and pro bowls.
