xSICKxWITHxITx Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Top 10 mobile quarterbacks in NFL historyNFL Network Donovan McNabb McNabb went from being booed on draft day to using his strong arm and nimble feet to lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl in 24 years.Watch clip | Video: 2004 NFC title game highlights | McNabb's stats Doug Flutie Often criticized for being small in stature, the crafty and motivated Flutie came up big when his team needed a play.Watch clip | Video: Flutie's dropkick vs. Dolphins | History of the dropkick Jim Zorn Further proof that milk does a body good, Zorn drank his and then helped lead the expansion Seahawks to respectability with his mobility.Watch clip | Video: No. 10 pass combo | Seahawks history Dan Marino Not at all known for being fleet of foot and known more for what he could do with his arm, Marino makes this NFL's Top 10 list for another reason.Watch clip | Video: Marino retrospective | Video: Heart of a champion Roger Staubach After winning the Heisman Trophy while at the Naval Academy, Staubach went on to a decorated career with the Cowboys.Watch clip | Video: No. 10 draft steal | Video: On America's Game Bobby Douglass Before Michael Vick broke the record in 2006, Douglass held the standard rushing total for running quarterbacks.Watch clip | Player page: Bobby Douglass | Bears history Michael Vick Vick's when-in-doubt-run philosophy netted a 1,000-yard rushing season in 2006, becoming the first quarterback to do so.Watch clip | Video: No. 6 draft-day trade | Vick's QB rushing mark Randall Cunningham During his heyday with the Eagles, Cunningham was as much of a threat to pass as he was to improvise on the run.Watch clip | Video: No. 7 most elusive runner | Cunningham's stats Steve Young Young ran out of the shadow of 49ers legend Joe Montana and created his own legacy as one of the game's most dangerous quarterbacks.Watch clip | Video: Young retrospective | Relive Super Bowl XXIX Fran Tarkenton Aside from being one of the NFL's best passers, Tarkenton attracted widespread attention as an exciting scrambler.Watch clip | Video: Tarkenton retrospective | Tarkenton's debut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halsey Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 WTF kind of list is that? It doesn't even make sense. Is it ranking the best overall QB's who happened to be good runners or ranking them on running ability alone? Either way, it's way way wrong.

Jedi-Falcon Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sorry, but Vick was the best of them all. Hands down. No contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint vitus Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Jedi-Falcon (6/19/2008)Sorry, but Vick was the best of them all. Hands down. No contest.I would think when ranking the top 10 mobile QBs, you would have to factor in their passing game also. I would put Vick in the same catagory as Bobby Douglass- good mobility, poor passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint vitus Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 GEORGIAfan (6/19/2008)ummm its not vick. yall are getting mobile and running confused.I would define a "mobile QB" as a QB with wheels. Elusive is like Drew Brees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Roger Staubach was the man!!!!Fran did most of his running from side to side or going further back....scrambling until a WR would become open....His mobile was completely different than Staubachs.....Steve Young was more of a Roger Staubach type QB....Mike Vick was totally different than the rest, great running QB but not really a scrambler and definately not a great passing QB. Cunningham unfortunately was hit with injuries. Dan Marino????? What the heck!!! Quick release and great arm...legs made of cement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
