The replay that shows his face when he’s running is hilarious. He looks like a little 6 year old who’s trying to run home from the playground so he doesn’t poop and pee his pants and then realizes he’s not gonna make it.
Pryors run is insanely fast. It's a crazy story that he finished his career as a pro-bowl wide receiver for the browns, but you see this and it makes sense.
Watching him accelerate from the 8 to the 30 is like watching a jet take off past cars on Top Gear. He's so smooth he makes other high performance machines look dull.
I was at that Raiders game when Pryor ran one in from 93 yards. Think they won four games that season. That run and beating Pittsburgh was the high point of the year.
He wasn't much of a passer, though, unfortunately. If he was a bit more accurate and better at reading defenses than he actually was, he'd be in the hall of fame.
@@js4187 Nah. In a free country with free speech you can do what you want. Just expect repercussions from people who don't think speech should be free.
I’m pretty sure it was only 49 yards, but I think the greatest QB TD run was Steve Young vs the Vikings. He was weaving. He was breaking ankles. He was shedding tackles. Picked up a few good blocks. He must have run 80 yards in those 49 yards. What a run that was!
At the 2:39 mark, that run by Daniel Jones was crazy. He tackled himself to prevent the touchdown. I thought Minnesota Viking Fran Tarkington might be on here because he was known as a scrambler. If a QB ever runs for 100 yards he can never be dethroned just equalled.
the problem with running quarterbacks is the need to read the defence and pass ... the option to run is another distraction. Vick was a gorgeous passer - had a gorgious throwing motion as well as his incredible athletic abilities.
I was there too. That was basically the only good times that season. That was in week six or seven and I remember they only won one more game the rest of the season. Oh well, the tailgating was always fun.
First clip with Alex Smith shows a perfect example of the horrible tackling that is still going on. The defender tries to knock the ball out of his hands instead of tackling him. You see this every week, someone getting an extra 10 or more yards because they were trying to knock the ball out. And Daniel Jones will be up there with Leon Lett for a highlight that will be played forever when talking about scores that should have been. 😂
I saw that live. Rushing QBs were rather rare in that day. Having said that, Landry rushed for 2,600 yards and 21 TDs in his career. A beautiful thing, but if I recall correctly, he didn't make the end zone. At the time, it was the longest QB run in NFL history.
Michael Vick is the fasted QB in the 40 with a 4.33, so I think RG3's 4.41 is pretty damn good. He did the 110-meter hurdles: 13.46 (WR 12.8); 300-meter hurdles: 35.33 (WR 33.78, was 34.48 until 2020); and 400-meter hurdles 49.22 (WR 45.94)
Secret base (RU-vid channel) took a look at every long touchdown run in nfl history that they had film of and where the last defender drops out of the field of view. Most have a defender chasing until the end, sometimes the ball carrier is 5 or 10 yards from the end zone and they have the camera all to themselves. Steve bono has about 70 yards of his own tv show with not a defender in sight. He’s also like 36 in that I think and just soooo slow.
That Jackson highlight was hard to watch. He just forgot all of his identity in the AFC Championship game. As if he was so scared to do what he do and that is run.
Notice that Bono had no opposing players within camera view for essentially the entire run. It was a QB draw with a fake to Marcus Allen, whom everyone expected to get the ball in this situation. The Cardinals' had coach was Buddy Ryan, who designed the 46 defense in Chicago in the '80s. In the words of Jon Bois of Dorktown in the video "The majesty of Steve Bono's 76 yard touchdown run might never be seen in the NFL again", after the defense zeroed in on Allen, "Bono's touchdown was guaranteed" before he even passed the line of scrimmage even though he had the speed of an offensive lineman.
There were two from 1970 that were also over 70 yards. Greg Landry took a quarterback sneak for 76 yards in the Lions first game against the Packers, and Virgil Carter ran for 71 yards in the Bengals first game against the Browns (and fumbled at the end of the play).
RGIII WAS A GREAT QB BUT SHITTY HAND ENDED HIS CAREER BY PUTTING BACK IN THE GAME WHEN HE WAS IJURED WHICH AGGRAVATED THE INJURY FURTHER. WHO KNOWS WHAT HE COULD'VE BEEN HE WAS A TRIPLE THREAT AND COULD'VE IMPROVED. WASHINGTON REDSKIN WAS A PLACE KNOWN FOR KILLING CAREERS OF BLACK QB's
Greg Landry of Detroit Lions had a 76 yard qb sneak for a TD in 1970 vs Green Bay Packers. So 1 of your top ten needs to get bumped off this list, if you want to be accurate.
Secret Base has a full video on the Steve Bono run, which they repeatedly refer to as one of the strangest plays in NFL history. I've seen it three times and still can't figure out if it's satire or not.
His athleticism was actually the main reason he got taken 1st overall. The fact he got stuck with (I think) 5-6 OC and/or HC to start his career overlooked it. Not to mention Aaron Rodgers was the other potential no1 that year lol #nurtureovernature
SO SAID A LIFELONG VIKING FAN WITH STEVE YOUNG'S AND MICHAEL VICK LONG RUNS AGAINST THE VIKES. PS I DON'T KNOW THE LONGEST RUN OUR HOF QB FRAN TARKENTION BUT HE STARTED THE SCRAMBLING OF A QB. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. SPORTS VIDEO,
Imagine if a QB winds up pulling off a 99 yard TD run, that would be legendary. The only two players to ever pull of that run are Tony Dorsett and Derrick Henry
Most of these guys were good, or at least decent running QBs. Steve Bono, however, was a strict pocket passer and that one play accounted for more than 1/5 of his total career rushing yards in his 7 NFL seasons. His run was a case of his O-Line completely overwhelming the entire Cardinals defense within a few yards of the line of scrimmage. Bono himself looked confused as to what to do, hence his downfield blocker motioning him on.
