oldmanfan Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If we had had all these Internet "journalists" pontificating on QBs back then, can you imagine what would have been written. Here's a couple I thought about: Terry Bradshaw: strong arm but inaccurate, cannot process defenses rapidly enough to survive in the NFL, grades out in the 2-3 round Fran Tarkenton: gimmick QB who will not survive his first big hit in the NFL, has to learn how to throw from the pocket if he wants to play in the league Feel free to add your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenhigh Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 O.J. Simpson - -Dangerously athletic, slashes his way through defenders, cuts on a dime. Murderer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just looked at Namaths stats you would say no way is he HoF worthy... when you actually watched him you would realize he had the best pocket movement out of any QB of his era and the best deep ball... first QB to throw for over 4000 yards in a season ... he was definitely HoF worthy though people today say he isn't worth it... he changed the game Edited March 23, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Indy, I love ya, but take like a 4 or 5 week break from the board leading up to the draft. It's only going to get worse here in the next few weeks in terms of QB prospect talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too young for this but I imagine there wasn't much board presence in the 90s, Dan Marino: does drugs... boy, total rumor, that has to be the worst reason for a slip in the 1st round.. Like, I understand why Aaron Rodgers fell. Super weird release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
