serious reply to the second part, this is why QB's need to go back to sitting, there is good talent that gets ruined because they're thrown in as a day 1 starter knowing damn well these dudes need to learn to play in NFL systems. these moible qb's with 1-2 years of sitting would be beasting...like rodgers!

:ohhh: I never thought about that. Didn't he change his delivery while he was backing Favre up? He's had his struggles but we have never seen him go through the growing pains that even Peyton or Brees went through as young QBs.

There is a college system and a pro system. Vastly different in nature. There is some merit to what you say.

It works the same way for pocket passers. They all face defenses that eventually catch up to them. It's the same learning curve

But truth is pocket passers have more success and less injury risk historically.

The Mannings/Brady/Brees types been around forever for a reason.

I`m not opposed to the either, my fave qb ever was a scrambler type, but my point is the hype of "they're gonna change the game" is what's sillyness. As NFL defenses always catch up to these more mobile QB's and then that value of the scrambling QB does back down.

Yeah the fact that all these guys are regressing is a bad sign..you're supposed to get better

Look at your qb Kapernick if you play a Zone on him he literally has no idea what to do

Cheddar Bob and Scam Dooton as well.

You can go back and look how the same thing happened to guys like Vick, Vince Young and Aaron Brooks

The style really hasn't rendered long-term success, that's why SF was trying to move away from it with Kaep to develop him for long term success.

Peter King the guy who made the grand jury joke the day the ferguson decision was announced :camby: his shyt shouldn't even be allowed to be posted here
or the same guy who said "sources" told him the NFL had seen the tape only to backtrack on it months later when it looked like Goodell was in "trouble" :heh:


nobody will call him out for this shyt and he will keep on getting invited as guest to radio and tv shows so he can spew his non-sense...:yeshrug:

people dont care about inconsistencies in articles, just the amount traffic they can get out of talking about it. (i.e that Abbott-kobe article back in october)

Not lies, you bring up Colin, that is one guy.

Vick is probably the most mobile QB of all time and has always been hurt.

Cheddar Bob, always hurt.

Steve Young, the goat passer who could run, constantly concussed and career ended short.

Show me the scrambling QB who has a career like Brees/Brady/Manning, while where they have been hurt, most of em have played complete seasons 9/10 times.

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
He lost all credibility when he mentioned Jake Locker, but wants to bring up injury concerns with Cam.

I've seen that fukkboy play for 4 years and when he isn't on the bench nursing yet another injury he's throwing passes so inaccurate not even the DB's in the vicinity can catch them.

Not interested in your empirical evidence arguments. Point is, you riding on myths and math doesn't agree with you.

Article takes at least 10 minutes to read and you responding to me in less than 3. You allergic to truth

this is a gross generalization bruh. Vick and Young aren't starting QBs right for different reasons. And Brooks should have at least gotten a job as a backup.

And the fact that you keep calling them Cheddar and Scam probably means you have some type of bias against them so fck your stupid point....:yeshrug:

You seem allergic to expressing your point, but quite capable of regurgitating someone elses that you have read.

Like I said, just do me this much, name one scrambling qb you has had the career length of the great pocket QBs
