The "fake" handoff...

Gips

DA really lacks the deceitful movement to convince defenders and it makes him look like he is only making a halfass attemp he doesnt have good deceptive skills most of the time...

His favorite team is the seahawks, he masturbates to photos of hasselbeck's bald head each night, and prays for the trade of DA to Seattle

Favre and Brady are excellent but Sipe used to be pretty good as well.

Peyton has the most convincing play action handoff in the league, IMHO

I think it's quite obvious that he has verry little clue what he is talking about and often contorts facts take make his point look better.

I have honestly talked to no one outside of Oregon State country that agrees with what he says about Anderson.

I would have to agree with these 5 "Pro Bowl" QB's are / were very good. Seems that the quarterbacks everyone thinks are best at "play action" seem to be some of the best quarterbacks ever. Affirms my believe that it is an important part of any good QB's game.

He got Frye to come there a few years ago.

Sooooooooooooooo close...

While DA does a halfass job, playaction works when the D respects the run game. Pit and Bal don't have problems with playaction as much because teams give up too soon on the run.

Don't make me laugh Lum. DA does not do a good job of it at all. And Quinn likes to roll out? How about the OC has designed rollouts DA does not do well.

My lord whoever is playing Lum I hope this stupidity doesn't permanently damage your perspective on life. The character is way too f@cking stupid to be a real person.

He just drops into a thread, smears some of his period blood and then takes off for another thread.

He is a professional troll and the only ones who benefit from that are the owners of the board who like the hits. Not hard to figure out.

Yeah I would actually scratch Marino and make Elway my number 5, but I still hate Elway.

Rich Gannon also did a good job at it while he was with Oakland.

If you are going to pass the ball with any efficiency in this league you have to be able to sell the fake.

Don't post a lot but I'm always reading in the forum. I know everyone is tired of the "Anderson vs Quinn" topics and I didn't intend to make this about just them. I was just reviewing our first pre-season game again on the DVR and I was reminded that year after year Anderson only makes what I would call a "half assed" attempt to sell the fake handoff to our running backs. He acts like it is something that he really doesn't believe will work and just goes through the motions. In the short time I have had to watch Quinn he seems to do it much better.... but time will tell. My question is: do think the fake handoff is an important part of the quarterbacks game? And if so. which quarterback, past or present in the NFL was or are the best at selling it.

Welcome to the board Northshore. This is a fresh and relevant topic. Doesn't get enough mention any more.

Thanks for posting it. I did click the thanks button but, not sure how it rang up twice though.

Don't be shy. Fresh topics are always needed.
