Sup everyone, I’m back. Moving forward, you should be seeing my face (and my videos) more often. Some notes I wanted add to this video. 1) I chose to focus on mostly the main mobile quarterbacks who impacted the style of play. I didn’t talk about every single dual threat (or any of the ones who ultimately failed like Johnny Manziel) 2. Steve McNair passed away in 2009 from fatal gunshot wounds. I chose not to talk about it because he wasn’t the primary focus of the video. R.I.P. Steve “Air” McNair. 3. With this being my first facecam video in awhile, let me know if you have any suggestions! And let me know what you thought of this style of video (the combo of facecam with highlights) Anyways, thanks guys for all your patience. Expect uploads more frequently from here on out!
Vick was the s**** I still think he is better than what we have today as far as running put him in a modern offense unthinkable the records he would have
It feels like we wait for KTO to come out of the shadows, we celebrate it, then he goes back and we wait once again, it’s like Groundhog Day. I’m not complaining, I’d rather KTO take his time and make incredible videos than churn out mediocre videos everyday. Keep it up man, you do amazing work.
You put it nicely when describing Wilson as the modern Tankerton. Often I feel we take Wilson for granted, but he is a transcendent player and a sure fire hall of famer.
@@SnackingBadger if you would’ve commented this 2 years earlier you would be sentenced to death. Wilson was not over rated and even this year after dumbass Nathaniel Hackett was fired they actually looked like a nfl team and not a elementary school team
Doug Flutie was the last player in NFL history to kick a drop kick FG. So at least he'll be remembered for something in the NFL. In college he has one of the greatest Hail Mary's of all time.
They're so upset about it that they're being idiots and going out and doing stupid shit risking spreading it around like the pandemic isn't still going on.
Kaijucifer for real, I just got an update on my phone that said people in Alabama are having “COVID parties” to I intentionally get the virus. I hate our fucking species.
Hokie 4 Life or you could just... not get it? I don’t understand the logic here. “If I get it now, I don’t need to worry about getting it later”???????
Thank you SO MUCH for giving Fran Tarkenton his credit. He was amazing and was the innovator of making a broken play, a play to remember for along time with his legs helping him find somewhere to be able to throw.
That wave that featured Cam, Kap, RG3, and Russel Wilson was legendary. They all had some type of success whether it was running or passing. Cam brought in the read option, but Rg3 revolutionized it. Redskins use to run sets primarily out of the "Pistol" formation. Then the 49ers and Seahawks started using it once they seen the success RG3 was having with it. Now we have Lamar and Kyler Murray. Hope they carry on the legend of the running QB.
Sam Washam well it wasn’t necessarily his girlfriend that killed him. They say McNair was having an affair with the woman who killed him. I’m guessing the woman he was having an affair with either became obsessed or she got jealous because she knew of the marriage. It was ruled a murder-suicide. She killed him then committed suicide.
Space God No it was his girlfriend police showed text of them saying how much they loved each other and how Steve wanted her to have his kids. They got into a argument about a alleged affair earlier that day and then later on in the evening she killed him.
I have so many good things to say about this video from a production, setting, editing, writing, and idealistic mindset. I can't express everything I love about this video in a single comment. Great work. You've evolved into an absolutely incredible creator
Russell Wilson doesn’t have to run, but he does because the line collapses, he has no one to go to, or he knows he can get some where with his feet. Him and Marshawn Lynch made me a Seahawks fan.
Lamar needs more weapons around him, specifically Wide Receivers. They already have the best run game in the league but he cant run every play and only has a tight end to consistently pass to. If they get a strong receiver core they might be unstoppable
With the offseason the Ravens had (particularly their draft), and the fact that they haven't lost a lot of pieces from last years team that did so well, I think they have a definite shot to at least make the Super Bowl in the next played season.
Of all the dual threat QB's I think Steve Young is the blueprint. He was a master at making the right decision to keep from getting his body destroyed in a violent era. Could he have run for 900 yards? Yeah, but that might had been his last season.
I know I'm a little late to this party but thank you for including Steve McNair. Dude was my idol growing up in TN and he doesn't get the credit he deserves, imo. He was an ironman. Also, he was the first African American quarterback taken in the first round of the draft.
I’m thinking the Ravens will win 2 SB’s with Lamar, and that Lamar will become more and more of a passer every year, similar to how Cunningham became a better passer every year
9:15 Love that play forever, if for no other reason than the commentators are just as much out of breath as Steve himself. And this is such a cool video as usual. It feels amazing that it's taken the NFL this long to implement so many of these QBs, they are so effective and a total wild card when it comes to trying to cover them on defense.
Hi from over the pond here in Northern Ireland. I'm a 49ers FANATIC. I got all nostalgic watching this video as I started watching American Football 🏈 as a teenager in the mid eighties. Back then I bought a guide book to the rules of American Football,published by Channel 4,the first TV channel to show the sport in the UK. In it, the Quaterback was described as player who could scramble if he wanted to but because he wore less padding as other positions and was there fore more prone to injury he wouldn't make a habit of it. As can be seen in your video,how times have changed.I preferred the realistic player figure dressed as a Patriot logo of New England to their current one. Two suggestions. 1-Do a video on the NFL International games,primarily London. 2- Although it may be before your time do a video on NFL Europe.
My prediction is that by the end of this decade the classic pocket passer is gone, at least as a starter QB, and all of the starting QB's will be at least a scrambler type. The development of defensive athletic players will be one reason, but another is that a mobile QB will make it harder for defenses to adapt to the diversity a dual threat QB has in an offense.
Not true at all, anyone who watches the tape can see that most mobile QB's simply aren't good passers and tend to get injured more often. Even guys like Randall Cunningham didn't really shine until late in his career when he got Randy Moss. Vick and Jackson keep getting exposed in the playoffs. Mobility works when it isn't used as a crutch, you can't be like the Texans and skimp on the O-line because you expect Deshaun Watson to be able to keep pulling magic tricks out his ass
-Jedi-dAddle I’m not saying it’s all about racism but it’s a little underlying. People say they don’t have the mental aspects and everyone wanted Lamar to switch positions
Russel Wilson really is the future of mobile QBs and the position in general. A guy who doesnt rely on his athleticism but when he hits you with it, absolutely murders your defense
Running back is one of the last real punishing positions left - they get injured way more than any other offensive player. That's why tight ends are doing so well right now they have little risk of injury.
Scrambling is completely different than a running QB. Mobile could mean both or either one. I remember growing up watching Randall. I was a Redskins fan and I watched him torch my team multiple times.
I'm still waiting for you to do a video on Pete Gogolak. He was my Grandma's favorite NFL player, but he deserves a video because he's the kicker who changed EVERYTHING.
Thanks for giving Wilson the proper credit he deserves. Nothing is more fun than those "Squirrel Plays" over the years. Hopefully he can win one more superbowl in his career with Seattle. That's gonna be tough when he'd likely be facing Jackson, Mahomes or Watson.
The "real" pocket passer will be out if Linebackers and d-linemen continue to become more and more athletic. This isn't because O-lines aren't able to provide protection, but because a QB that can't at least scramble out of pressure is genuinely a *numerical disadvantage for offences*. The stereotypical Brett Favre/Eli Manning esque gunslinger is gone for similar reasons, at this point the only form of pocket QB that can keep up is the quick releasers like Brady and Garappolo, because again, the longer a QB stays in the pocket the longer a defence has to use their numerical superiority. With a mobile QB, the QB is no longer a numerical disadvantage, as a good scrambler is a threat on pass plays *regardless of them using their arms or legs*, you have to cover both or you end up letting them gain huge chunks of yardage. If you mean in a sense that QBs will always be passers first and foremost you're absolutely correct, but it's simply untrue that the prototypical pocket QB could genuinely survive in today's NFL.
Arguably the top 4 QB's right now are all mobile (Mahomes, Russ, Lamar and Watson.) There's definitely still a lot of pocket passers but most of them atleast have the speed to scramble should the play break down.
Lol, it's not a "thing " it's the way to go. Name a pocket passer outside of Jared Goff who has came into the league this decade and accomplished anything statistically, record, or super bowl wise? Want me to name mobile and dual threats off the top of my head? Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, Pat Mahomes,amar Jackson, DeShaun Watson, Jameis Winston, Cam, Newton. The top 5 QBs on draft boards for next year are all dual threats. Mobile and dual threats are the here and now, and the future. Good to great pocket passers are a dying breed in the NFL.
@@8MoneyIzmyMission8 Would never say never on that. There are always transcending players in the NFL. Last season Wentz basically played like a pocket Qb in the second half of the year and carried the team with everyone injured to the playoffs. Ultimately guys like Watson and even Jackson will be scrambling a lot less and passing more from the pocket
The NFL meta is constantly shifting as players get bigger, stronger, and faster. Goalpost QBs like Dan Marino and Peyton Manning *used* to be the standard. Now that linebackers are faster, you can't just sit in the pocket. You can't have a QB like Drew Bledsoe who can't think on his feet when he's under pressure (I live in New England and watched Drew throw pick after pick after he got flushed out of the pocket). Jared Goff is the outlier. The best QBs in the league are either old (Brady, Brees, Rivers, Matty Ice) or mobile (Mahomes, Jackson, Wilson).
@@michaelh1603 Well, those 3 are amongst the best athletes to ever play Qb position, so no shame not being quite as mobile as them. Randall was my favourite out of the 3!
As a European, whos been watching NFL now for about 5 years or so, I absolutely think Lamar can win a superbowl, but hey, im european, I probably don't know shit xD
BigDwarf if mahomes was on the ravens he would be even better cause he has an actual defense. And Lamar wouldn’t even do that good as a chief. He would only run
Pocket passers outperform running quarterbacks across the length of their careers. Quarterbacks who evade rushers by scrambling and then passing should not be considered running QB's.
