The Days Of The New Era Running QB Are Over
-
With the way the NFL seems so enamored by these running QB's, you'd think SOMEONE somewhere woulda come up with a throwing running back by now....

This is a great topic! I have to agree. Right now in Washington DC the heads are going to roll again. Think about how many draft picks they gave up and how the team's future will suffer for years to come. And Harbaugh looked like a genius at the time when he benched Alex Smith. I hope Smith goes to the playoffs every year.
If you watch Willie McGinnis, Brian Baldinger and Sean O'Hara on NFLTotal Access they called it two years ago before RG3 got hurt. All of them said it would only be a matter of time before defenses caught up to the zone read and the running quarterbacks would have a tough time staying healthy.
Give me an Andrew Luck or a Derek Carr over RG3 and Manziel all day long. Russell Wilson runs when necessary not by design. His O-line isn't as good is year but he's been great anyway. Throws very few picks and knows how to read defenses.

Anyone know anything about speed reading? Isn't the concept about widening your vision while still being able to focus your attention to the wider content, and recognizing word patterns and stuff?
The course I took literally forced you to read faster. Mostly it was about breaking your brain's habit of internally verbalizing words...

You are forced to "skim read" and trash your comprehension in favor of speed. Once up to speed, then they work to bring back your comprehension. You learn tricks like focusing on first and last sentences in a paragraph, and other spots. Slow down a little for those spots and fly through the in between.
Don't fully recall all my scores, but I started somewhere around 200 wpm speed and 90% comp. After several weeks I ended up around 1600 wpm and same comp.
I learned it as I used to have to read proposed regulations published in the Federal Register. Voluminous and tedious stuff to wade through, but made for speed reading.
I only occasionally use it now, but surprise myself how quickly it comes back when I do. Then shortly after cranking up my speed, I am reminded how exhausting it can be... takes a great deal of focus.

Obamacare comes to mind. Remember Pelosi? You'll have to read it to see what's in it. I think they lacked the comprehension part. LOL

Until JF steps on the field and plays a full year, the jury is out on running throwers as far as the Browns are concerned.

Eddie LeBaron is probably the closest thing to a "running QB".. he ran up in to the pocket and jumped up behind the line when he threw the ball.. another interesting thing was Paul Brown drafted a Running Back out of Northwestern .. and made him into a QB.. His name was Otto Graham.
Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~ -
or whatever you wanna call it when defensive players can't seem to get their fucking hands on the slimy raping little cocksucking fgt.
roethlisberger is just big and people don't know how to wrap him up. you have to either knock his ass down physically or grab him by his legs and wrestle him down. he shrugs guys off like bugs.

Baltimore showed how to deal with Roethlisberger in their first game. The first time he dropped back to pass someone
laid the hammer to him--they got a personal foul out of it but it was worth it. He wasn't the same for the rest of the game
and Baltimore got the win.

Shut the front door! You kidding me? Otto was drafted as a running back? Seriously? How did l not know that?

As a Browns fan, I really do hope that Manziel succeeds with this squad.
Do I think he will? if he minimizes his mistakes the way Aaron Rodgers does (unlikely, but not impossible), i think he's got a shot. Was never a fan; but the fact that some people display their obvious disdain for the kid despite never having started a game yet...meh, he's growing on me.
-
but on a side note...i'm not fond of all these guys who openly admit they'd jump ship the second (if, ever) Manziel leaves. suck a dick.

Yea it's been proven, get pressure on these guys and they are very much beatable. See Seattle against Manning and Giants against Brady. Pressure doesn't work against mobile QBs.
when you have dominate lines and the D wins the turnover ratio+ it's pretty much easy to win even if you have a ventriloquist doll back there with an arm.

The 40's weren't exactly our current era of specialization. Most good players played "both ways". Backfields were "full". It wasn't unusual for teams to have multiple players throwing the ball.
Otto was a "HB" at Northwestern who passed the team to many victories, including one over Paul Brown's Ohio State Buckeyes. He was drafted to be a QB by Brown's Browns and the NFL's Lions, IIRC.
