Beason: Cam For No.1, Has "It" Factor

[monstercat]

so you came up with one who did it for one season and got hurt good job

I'm pretty sure Randall Cunningham made it through a couple of seasons too, so what difference does it make? I guarantee you there have been more QB injuries within the pocket than out of it over the years.

3 full seasons in 16 years in the league. thanks for making my point

LOL, you have no point. How many pocket passers have there been, compared to running QB's over the last 20-30 years? It's too small of a sample size to come to any clear cut conclusions on injuries. I know Vick has had a lot of injuries, but look at how damn small he is. His worst injury, BTW, was an ACL, which happened in the pocket.

LOL, you have no point.

My point is you cannot find one dual threat QB who played full seasons for most of his career. I bet it'd be pretty easy to find pocket passers who have done that. Oh yeah and sample size? Why do you think it is that the sample size on running QBs is so small? It's certainly not a new thing, running qbs have been around since the beginning of football. If dual threat QBs were viable in the NFL then there would be a much bigger list to choose from.

Vick is a rare athlete who can accelerate and change directions almost better than anyone. Has top end speed. Of course his team is going to ask him to run.

Newton has decent speed, takes forever to accelerate and excels more in being hard to bring down.

You really think a coach worth his salt is going to dial up 20+ run plays a game for Newton? The first thing he's going to get coached on is using his legs to extend plays with his eyes down field.

Well of course you can genius. There have been hundreds of pocket passers compared to a very small handful of true dual threat QB's. Yeah, they have been around, but it has always been about 1 dual threat QB at any one time, with every other team having pocket passers. This is just starting to change...and make no mistake this change is coming whether you like it or not.

And BTW, Culpepper is about the only other dual threat QB you can even compare to Newton, as far as size goes, and I'm pretty sure Culpepper stayed healthy for a few years until the Panthers blew out his knee.

How about McNair..... he was another pretty good dual threat QB.

sorry winning!

You have to check the box underneath it to "insert signature" or whatever it is...

The Cardinals do

Uh, Larry Fitzgerald getting consulted on who he wants at QB is a rarity. Cardinals know he's the best player on their team, and one of the best players in the league. They also know he's going into a contract year and was obviously upset with the Cardinals QB play last year.

Of course they're going to do whatever they can to keep him.

Players don't make these decisions. I respect Beason's opinion though.

Actually, Fitzgerald said that never happened (link)

“My opinion has not been asked. Nor will it be,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s unfortunate that rumors like that get started.”

FWIW...

McNair 5 full seasons in 13 years.

Culpepper 3 out of 11 years (though he only missed 7 games before Gamble broke him)

In fairness, Culpepper was already broken before Gamble hit him.

His first five games of that season saw one of the worst stretches of QB play ever.

Before we decide which dual threat quarterback played most every game during his career let list how many dual threat quarterbacks are 6-6 and 250 lbs and still run a 4.59 40.

Yeah there is one-Josh Freeman. So far he has started 25 straight games with no misses due to injury.
