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.

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
