Russell Wilson is doing ok.
Blanket statements are rarely 100 percent correct.
Another guy that leaves out the obviously successful ones. wow.
I don’t classify Wilson as a “Running QB”
Yeah the Patriots got really lazy in their million SB wins with a first round bye :)
Does anybody here do research before posting?
It’s a ridiculous statement and history doesn’t bear it out At All.
Not everyone. :)
1 for 2 yesterday. Ya have both home teams today. Good Luck.
Nice work so far
Defensive coordinators always figure out how to shut down running, athletic QB’S. They can have one, or sometimes two, successful years but they always get figured out. To succeed in the NFL a QB must be a solid pocket passer who can read a defense and have a quick release.
Because Russell Wilson is a solid pocket passer who can read a defense.
This was the 1st time I’ve seen Henry caught from behind once he got in stride. On that 66 yard run he normally gets to the end zone, but the Raven’s defender showed some serious speed.
Titans wanted it, Ravens expected it... big difference on the field of play.
Brat? He seems humble and extremely charitable in the city. A true nice guy.
Ryan went to high school here in our little town about 85 miles south of Lubbock. He was born in Lubbock but raised here in Big Spring and played ball here. Watched him play many a Friday night game. When the Dolphins picked him up we thought it was the beginning but he spent most of his time on the bench. We knew he was a pro player but he just needed a chance to show it, and the Dolphins didn’t give him that chance. The Titans have what we always knew, they got a winner. Been allot of pro ball players come from this little town, must be something in the water.
Why the Texas hate?
nee = feminine singular ... meh, they are ALL sissies!
An amazing game, a terrific defense.
Isn’t it interesting, though, how it seems usually (the exception was the Colon Cancer-led 49ers) the teams that always tout these “different” running QBs like Jackson, Cunningham, RG3, and so far Dak Prescott find themselves beaten by the “traditional” pocket passers? Tannehill can run, but for the most part he fits the “Tom BradY” mold more than the Jackaon/Mahomes mold. And Colon Cancer only had the one stellar season.
Now, coming out of today’s game, for certain the Titans will face yet another of these “new” running QBs, with the Texans having a guy more in that mold than Mahomes. If the Titans win that game, especially if it ends up being the Texans, then the NFL coaches will have to again evaluate this style of quarterbacking.
Yes, Vince Young, RG 3, and Colin Kaepernick followed almost the same career arc - immediate, exceptional success - followed by stunning fall offs, and quick career wash-outs. The sports media fell hard for all three, touting a new, higher level of QB play - and they were quickly proved wrong. Lamar might be headed in the same direction - all of the late, wobbly passes he threw last night is a bad sign.
Wilson runs as a last resort, when all else fails. Jackson runs are built into the game plan.
the media hypes these guys and we all know why....on the pre-game yesterday, they actually said this guy represents the “new way to play QB”...heh, ...that stuff works in college football, where half the players are just out of high school. Pro football is so much faster and brutal...this guy is a great runner, but he keeps up that crazy scrambling, while trying to choose whether to throw the ball, he’s gonna get blasted eventually...and that’ll be the end of that. Sorry..but hes not a Pro QB...
