I took the opportunity to break down every run by Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck from the 2013 regular season. Each player, save for Luck, had about 100 rushing attempts. After watching them all in a row, you start to notice patterns. I charted those patterns, focusing on (a) how successful each player’s scrambles and designed runs were, and ( B) whether the scrambles stemmed from good or bad decisions.

So often, running quarterbacks run because they can’t recognize where to throw.

 

Not sure I agree with Qbs only running when they are basically too stupid to see where to throw the ball.

 

 

TL;DR.  Luck is apparently the best running qb in the league.  With Cam in 2nd in most categories.  Wilson is the worst in some categories.

Well don't you know Andrew Luck has already surpassed Peyton Manning as a passer.  Makes sense he's also the best running quarterback in the league because he's just so darned smart.

 

Why don't we all just continue to ignore his turnovers and put him in the hall of fame 15 years too soon.

 

edit:  And then I read the article.  I mean wow... just hilarious.  Apparently not a single sack Luck took was his fault, but for every other qb listed it was their fault plenty of times.

 

Then theres: "Newton is clearly a half-field reader."

Good quick read... Interesting cam had 17 coverage sacks and only 11 were the fault of his blockers... Wonder how many sacks he would have had due to blocking if he didn't scramble so well.

Love that cam scrambled for first downs 17 times out of 21 tries on third downs... That is just amazing stat.

After reading the article I just got the impression that Luck can do no wrong.  Nothing is ever his fault.   Not a single sack he took was his fault...not a single run was out of place..

 

 

Best running qb.

 

 

Up next,  Andy Benoit smells and ranks the farts of a few Qbs.    The winner of the best smelling fart may surprise you.

Peyton being the best qb in the league...and literally only shuffles his slow ass out of the pocket when it is an absolute must...  wouldn't that make Peyton the best running qb in the league?

 

Well, tied for 1st,  with Luck.

It's always a good sell when a white guy is ranked atop in black men's game(Charles Barkley's word). That's what this Luck and Manziel thing is all about. You didn't expect them to be objective, did you? It keeps a people hoping. I'm okay with that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
