The Days Of The New Era Running QB Are Over
-
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.

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....

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.

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.
