“ Even Belichick can’t stop Cam Newton” Bill Belichick: if you can’t beat him sign him
No way Belichick has class

@@Tazer183 gonna have hard time finding anything rn or the past year or so. Google john elway he was pretty good
D T wtf are you talking about
Is Belichick gonna use him and Then discard him #NoRespect #BelechickHatesVeterans
Mike Vick is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to rushing QBs
The always underrated Steve "Air" McNair finally gets recognition again
Rip Steve 🙏
Shut up Tom Brady is a better rusher

@@jamesbullard8180 trolling?
@@lebronium. what u mean bro. You can put tom Brady at running back he would be better than Barry sanders
Lamar definitely has the potential be an all time great. I wish him the best in his career.
But Vick is better tho. I still love Lamar
Thx coming from a raven fan
@@flightphantom5025 yessir
He's gonna end up injured like rg3 dude never knows when to protect himself he takes too many hits
@Miles Romo IDK where dude even pulled that from. Just talking out of his ass
Lamar may be the running QB GOAT when it's all said and done but Vick was and is the standard that most modern era passing QB are held to. He was on another level and had a swag to boot. The way he would seemingly go from 0-60 in about 3 steps made him a cheat code in a game and in real life. It's a treat to be able to watch all have so many athletic QB's in the current era (Jackson, Watson, Wilson, Newton, Mahomes, Allen) NFL is in good hands
vick has speed but watching lamar is more fun because he has the best jukes in the history of the nfl.
You can say many of the same things about Cunningham. I was lucky enough to see him play - an absolute phenomenon
@@AK-74K I wasn't blessed to watch him live during his prime but from all the tape I've seen, I can agree, he was a QB to behold. Vick had a very prominent cultural impact especially during the early 2000's but Cunningham was a phenom in his own right and era.
@@arjl880 Randall to me is really a bit of a whatif story. Absolutely phenomenal arm talent too and great accuracy once dialled onto a receiver. But with the Eagles he didn't really improve much reading coverages and his coaches really didn't particularly helped him work on that aspect of his game.
@@strollas Vick had his moves too and one can argue that Lamar might actually be faster. For vick, a highlight that stuck out in my mind is a play in his ATL days against the panthers, where he scrambled, nearly baseball slide to ground, right into a spin move, losing the defender in the process. It's hard to describe but I haven't seen anyone else pull that move. But tbh I don't like comparing them because they each had their own style of running, their own instincts, physique and set of skills and they play/ed in different eras. Lamar being younger and having so many examples before him as well as RG3 in the same locker room has the potential to surpass so many of his predecessors while developing his passing game. If his passing game catches up, he can be truly the total franchise QB package.
Philly had the most elusive running QB in their linups (3 of them in this list) Cunningham, McNabb and Vick. Now maybe Hurts
Now hurts will for sure be on here
Don’t forget foles massive genitalia giving him a third less which
Steve Young & Russell Wilson better be on here. They’re the smartest rushers of all-time and could gash you for a heartbreaking 3rd down run any time.
Watch the video and find out lol
FRAN TARKANIAN
Facts
@@xanderjohnson8629 Tarkanian? You mean Tarkenton? You must be talking about the legendary college basketball coach, JERRY Tarkanian.
And unlike lamar, Russell knows when to slide and protect himself
I hate getting into debates about who the best scrambling QB is because it’s almost like talking about politics but I’m just glad that they gave the og Fran tarkenton some respect
the first time I saw Randal take a snap, I jumped out of my chair , YES !!! Phila FINALLY has a quarterback !
I mean we had Jaws at the time tho. There was a QB controversy at first cause they were both great QBs
@@domanddev : they call that an oxymoron. we had jaws, both great QB's
jaws was king of throwing away the ball on 3rd down.
Vermiel got him to the Superbowl and he got 18 of 38 completions, 3 interceptions and 291 yards.
I was SO happy to see him go and for Phila to get a REAL Q.B.
jaws, 20 yard throw, Mike Quick turned it into a 99 yard touchdown.
Randal was completing 30 and 40 yard throws.
In his prime, Cunningham was the most dangerous man in NFL history since Gale Sayers. On top of his athleticism was his unpredictability; you never knew what we would pull out of his hat on any given play. Often on fourth down w/a few yards to go, they lined up in the shotgun like they were going for it and Cunningham would quick-punt it way over the strong safety's head. But sometimes they actually did go for it. The Eagles did the quick-punt just often enough to become known for it, but just seldom enough for it to still be a surprise.
Michael Vick's highlights always and will... bring a tear to my eye👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Crybaby
I'm kidding
Kordell Stewart was straight up outrunning safety’s Jesus
Actually I’m dirty Dan
Kordell was ahead his time man I wish could play in today game where he would reach is full potential as a Steelers fan I believe they set him up to fail that why I like today game better in terms of develop talent mainly quarterback now they have more sense to build the offense too there quarterback strengths not trying make them into something there not they did to kordell
FINALLY my man Kordell gets talked about
He was an animal at times
Korbel loved throwing ints in the big games
16:19 those are Papa Meags kind of numbers. 6 Foot 5 245 Pounds
DP Urlacher I respect you ✊
MMG is goated... no one can touch his ability!! 💯
Poop weiner fart weiner pubes
seamusdied yes
We are now friends
Bobby Douglass is another great one. Had a shirt career as a starter though but he ran for 900 yards in 1971 for the Bears.
948 yards in 14 game season. Record stood for 14 years. Nobody ever mentions that.
@@clarkhull7546 I was going to, but you guys beat me to it. ;) Plus, like Lemar (to date and others), a lot of Douglass' runs were designed plays, not scrambles. He was a big, athletic QB. Not that accurate a passer though.
I thought it was 968 though (not that it matters. Your probably right.).
Damn how can we forget about him and I did to my bad he was a beast too
I'm glad we got Mobile QB they make it so excited and fun I mean who doesn't watch highlights of Cam,Vick, and Russell Wilson
War eagle 🦅!
Lamar ?
Mobile quarterbacks are exciting to watch but mobile QB rarely wins supberowl. They can be human highlights but not championship kind of player. Facts
@@tjohnnyf7100 That will change very soon
people still call cam ass even after watching it
Man I miss watching Vick play, I remember that snowy Sunday afternoon when he ran the ball down my Vikings throat I knew then that was history in the making.
Steve youngs runs still give me chills
Dammit you got me
Lamar Jackson, Cam Newton & Michael Vick’s sections should each be 10 minutes long.
hahaha agreed.
Minus Lamar....he has 1 solid year under his belt.....he doesn't compare to Vick Or Cam yet
@@jerseysfinest622 that’s one solid year proves that he can shatter every rushing record posible tho. I’m not a very big fan of lamar but that man has a bright ass future and it isn’t gonna surprise me when he breaks every rushing record by a QB
@@crispycream6385 he won't beat either of Colin Kaepernicks records
Most yards rushed in a single post season game by a QB at 181 and I can't remember the other one, but neither will be beat by Lamar I don't think
@@jerseysfinest622 the hell u say
Josh Allen might make the list one day if he keeps it up. He's averaged 500 yds a season and 25 tds on the ground in 3 seasons
Josh Allen is a beast. I like watching him play.
Colin Kaepernick still holds the record for most rushing yards by a QB in the SuperBowl in NFL history and still holds the record for most rushing yards by a QB in an NFL playoff game.
I thought maybe kaepernick would be on the here
Kyote Windom wait he isn’t 😐🥴
Kaepernick was the fastest QB I've ever seen in a straight line, but the dude was pretty much the opposite of elusive. He never made a lot of people miss, and if anyone got a finger on him he was going down.
Kyote Windom I think the nfl wants to erase him from history lol
@@noshut yeah. The NFL has a history of doing that with controversial players. See how they did OJ Simpson when they did the top RBs during last years ceremonies. They put him on the list, but rarely said his name smh.
No matter what he did after retirement, he was still one of the greatest to ever play the position.
Lamar jackson played in 14 games in 2019. Led the nfl in passing td's and set the rushing record for a qb. Also completed 66% of his passes and led the league in ypc. Just in case you didn't know the dude can ball. In full 16 games he throws for for 40+ td's and approaches 1500 rushing. Oh and his first full season as a starter.
best qb season ever...
ezekwu 🤦♂️😂
I thought he played 15?
@@wdm_maps He didn't play the 4th quarter against Miam,i St Louis, Houston and Cincinnati. In those games he was absolutely unstoppable running or throwing the football so I'm pretty sure his numbers would have gone up significantly playing the 4th quarter of those games.
@@wdm_maps So he didn't play 8 quarter of f football
Good seeing everyone being able to play their brand off football these days that's why the NFL is better than it's ever been
12 must have been my boy Kaepernick?
That's probably why the list only had 11?
Ramona Chavez probably 🤦♂️
No one cares about kapernick
@@patsvisualz we do obviously
Tj Adams you care about trash? Dang, must be tuff
@@patsvisualz obviously i don't if i don't care about you.
Lol figures they left Kap off the list. Unreal
Relax, Kap had one great playoff game, a few good runs but he not better than ANY one on that list.
@@bitbybit981 u saying wilson a better runner than him in the open field not all them circles in the back field for a 5 yard run
@@moneybaggskanye This list is about stats. Kaepernick is a good runner, but he lacks the body of work.
This is a good list of elusive QBs but I gotta go with Mike Vick man...no disrespect to LJ8 but Vick was the most explosive athlete on the field most times the way he would cut through those defenses was unreal. Could you imagine being a defender and the guy that you would fear to tackle in open space was a QB...Vick had that kind of fear factor
Kid Lightning he was till he went to prison then fell off a little bit
@@codyyellott117 Of course bro he wasn't close to being the same guy he was...but that stretch with the Falcons he was MVP caliber
Mike Vick had his best season with the Eagles. Look at the stats
Cody Yellott nah he was a dog for philly
@@SwaggyTdot poor choice of words
It's about time!!!
This video was clear and concise. Nice effort.
@NFL Throwback
Thank you for this fun video 😄
Narrator: Michael Vick is the all time running QB goat!
Lamar Jackson: I'm gonna end this man's career.
The media won't tell you Cam had to run more because of lack of talent around him and oline being so bad. Funny how they start to talk about it after the Kyle Allen hype and fail😂🤷♂️
This is so awesome man...from Philly, so I've been spoiled. Who knows, maybe Hurts will add to that list for me. Great stuff, peace.
Which NFL RETIRED QB are YOU? Super quick and easy personality quiz I made for you guys!
czcams.com/video/59boSkSnOcM/video.html
Damn i miss Pat Summerall's announcing. He was was calm cool collective and when he got excited he jus raised his voice that lil bit and he pulled you into the game.
Oh my god him & madden were everything
Where is Colin kaepernick. I was always scared of his running
1. Not a long career
2. Political issues
Anyway I agree with you, great running qb
I wanna know where Tom Brady is
@@Stayzsilva Brady actually lost over 6,500 rushing yards for his career with all of those 1 yard losses in victory formation
@@gregcobb187 I know it was a joke since he doesn’t run
@@mtsnvladja nothing wrong with being political
Going back to my childhood, a running QB was my favorite part of football.
From QB club to NFL Game Day to 2k to Madden, I always loved to run with the QB and forcing opponents to stop me.
Great list. "Slash" was very underappreciated. Put some true gems in there. I have no arguments with any of it.
Fran Tarkenton, still underrated till this day. Would have gotten more recognition with a super bowl victory for sure.
Harry Engel the first
If only he wasn't a QB for the Vikings, that franchise is practically cursed from winning one.
@Harry Engel There is no argument. He is the greatest QB the Vikings ever had.
dddawda ddawda nah there were some in the 30s like Cecil Isbell and then Otto graham in the 50s
Staubach could scramble surprisingly well too
Im a simple man, I see NFL Throwback post, I click
The grit and determination in Steve Young's runs could bring a grown man to tears. 😂🤣😂
A huge part of me feels like Vick belongs in Canton. His elusiveness and clutch playing skills were second to none. He deserves to be in the HOF at some point in time
Lol
I mean Tory Holt isn’t in the hot
He was soooo bad as a passer and I don’t know what clutch plays you’re talking about other than the long run in it.
Him and Devin Hester can be in the asterisk HOF. Lol. Like guys don't normally go in the hall for purely just being a returner but Hester was so special he deserves a spot. Well Vick gets the same thing for being the level of rushing quarterback he was. Lol.
The asterisk hall of fame. Make it a thing NFL lol
I think it would be awhile before the NFL distinguishes Vick as a H.O.F entry, which is partly attributed to the shame he brought upon himself with the dog fighting scandal and the fact that he did not establish the passing acumen prior to that scandal to justify enshrinement (although his rejuvenated play with the Eagles gives an overall HOF candidacy merit). Simply put: Vick was a transcendent player who truly embodied the style of play that is now prevalent in today's NFL. I wish him the best!
Steve Young almost pulled a Daniel Jones on that one run
Them ghost are everywhere 🤣😭
As an eagles fan I laughed my ass off on that play. Giants fans probably lost their cool. Never turn and look unless your Usain bolt.
Everybody mentioning Kap, what about RG3?
That’s what I’m sayin.
unfortunately, RG3 lost most of his scrambling ability (and willingness) after FedEx field pasteurized his leg
Glad this list started with Kordell. I was going to middle school in Boulder when he was QB for the Buffaloes, I was happy to see him have success in the pros despite him playing for an AFC rival to the Broncos.
I pray who ever sees this become successful 🖤
likewise my brother
You know your comment is special when the NFL likes it❤️
Love you too 👍👍👍👍
Too late.
Thanks for the positivity! I wish the same for you.
We literally all knew before watching this video that Michael Vick was number 1, seeing someone beat his numbers won't happen, and if someone does, it will take years. Most quarterbacks will never beat him in this category because they don't have the durability to get hit and put up good rushing numbers like Michael Vick year after year.
If Cam is average for 3 seasons and gets say 1,000 more rushing yards and 25 more rushing touchdowns then I’d say Newton will have surpassed him
@@austinreed347 Cam newton doesn't need to run the football anymore, I am concerned about his long term health. Cam in College ran the ball a lot, went to the NFL and he's been hit more than every quarterback in the NFL during his time, cam has the most rushing attempts for quarterbacks.
coo3disk1 those are modest numbers and definitely a step back
coo3disk1 he only runs cause he’s not a great thrower lol and he got no weapons in New England
@@austinreed347 We will see how he does.
Finally Elway's getting his respect for his scrambling
Hey... he gets the love from those who know.
Finally?
Enjoyed the video. Great choices, I just wish you had made room to show some love for running quarterbacks of the 70s, other than Tarkenton. Bobby Douglass had that great season in '72, rushing for over 900 yards in a 14 game season. And Roger Staubach was Tarkenton but with Super Bowl rings, averaging 5.5 yards a carry for his career. Both played in the era when quarterbacks running with the ball were frowned upon, particularly by men like Ray Nitschzke, Merlin Olsen, and Dick Butkus.
Great video
Vicks scrambles were organic and raw. He was so explosive and fast. He’s my favorite.
Lamar the truth , it’s just that the offense is built around him running.
Before rg111 got hurt, he truly was on track to shatter all records. The “woulda coulda shoulda” redskins fans
NFL films is always good for the 10am naps
How can anyone 👎 this video? Well done putting it together👍
OOOOHH!!! HE BROKE HIS ANKLES!
Russell Wilson has the best scramble yards🤟🏾
Kaizaro123 Well I been a seahawk fan for like 3 or 4 or 5 years and I been seeing Russell scrambling and even I saw a play where russell Wilson had his first catch and I just be seeing russell Wilson scramble
Kaizaro123 yea ok but i will always be a seahawk fan
@@realwalterwilliams are you a bandwagon
Randall was something else man. Dude had an absolute cannon too. If he had anyone other than Buddy Ryan for a coach he could have been an all time great.
Great video!! Cam is a super freak but he only cares about Cam
Cam newton is fearless he
Basically ran into JJ watt
But can’t jump on a fumble 😂
Until Ware made him his little b and scared him away from jumping on a fumble.
17:03 Bro what a legendary block by Steve smith , like can we just take a short second to appreciate a hall of famer at work 💪🏽
Dude took 3 Falcons out on one play. You can see that cam hesitated so Smith would be able to apply the block
10:58 lol the commentator is just throwing his voice out I love it
This so outstanding about all of these quarterbacks being named they played against some damn good defenses to back then when they played
Cam Newton’s greatest run is against the patriots when he kept running around breaking everyone’s ankles
Glad to see Steve “Air” McNair
This video is gold
Thank you for mentioning kordell stewart. He always gets forgotten
Did I just hear Tom Brady's name in a rushing video? 🤣 🤣
Probably all QB sneaks
Pretty sure Michael Vick’s 40 time with 11 people trying to tackle him was better than Tom Brady’s in the combine
Just remember, Daniel Jones stumbled his way to the ground, also stumbling his way out of the record books.
But vick had that sweet throwing motion and an absolute cannon to go with it. Yea I had the shoes in 05
Nice vid
Man imagine how many rushing yards Michael Vick would have had if he hadn't messed it all up for himself
12000
You mean if weird racist dog lovers didn't mess it up for him
@@danieljenkins7951 it is a crime no matter your race. Which is why vick went to prison.
"Oh!!!! He broke his ankles!!!!!" The rush this phrase gives me is just motivating for some reason 🔥🔥🔥
i've watched that clip over 50 times since that game aired. i still get goosebumps
I remember when Vick split those two Viking defenders n tackled each other, to run it in for a touchdown n win the game, I just jumped up n was like get tf out of here, might be top 10 greatest plays ever in my opinion, just the setting n time n game winner as a qb, wow
Did I miss the Bears Bobby Douglass I think he might have led the League in rushing for most in a single season. I'm not sure it but I he ran for 972 yards ? Very Nice post !
Russell Wilson is too low. I don’t even like the dude but gota respect his game dude is a baller
What is there not to like about him other than him being a SIMP?
Having Jackson over Fran Tarkenton is absolutely absurd in my opinion. I get it, but I also don’t at the same time.
Hey I respect your opinion. But if you swap both quarterbacks and put each one in the others time frame,who do you think would be better 🤔 ijs food for thought 🤔
Not running backwards
9:30 it’s crazy how much bigger players are now, the big 250 pounders were the same weight as my hs linebackers, and most of our lineman, including my self were 270 plus
Let's not ignore how 🔥🔥🔥 all the uniforms used to be.. Old eagles, Oilers, Patriots and Steelers so sick and nostalgic
1:20 defense didn't even try tackle him smh
true but understanble. 4th quarter of a divisonal playoff game and the pats were gassed out. Cardio wasn't emphasized as much during that era but brute strength
Lamar, has a lot of potential
Madden curse: that's very cute
Patrick Mahomes: Shut up
Mahomes did pretty well last year.
Kap and Vick could be mentioned at least. and maybe he didn't have all the stats and the rings and the moves, but Andrew Luck was a really great running qb for a big lumbering type of guy.
I always knew Fran Tarkenton as the bad hair guy from “That’s Incredible”
12:38-14:24 As a die-hard Ravens fan (since 2001), I knew I would find "Lamar Jackson" on this list. Lucky for me I knew he made it on this list, and I'm avidly impressed. 😃
Ofc he was going to make onto this list. A blind man could see that coming
3 eagles Qb's I'm ok with that 😄
Maybe that’s why it took the eagles so long to win a super bowl 😂
“Liam Spencer” man foh clown at least they got a ring you hating for what ? pathetic fool !
Very accurate list.
That 2010 season with the Eagles was legendary . Esp that comeback against the Gmen
What about Lamar Jackson leading the league in passing tds this year? and having 1,200 rushing yards
But he didn't lead in passing tds I'm pretty sure Russ had 40 and someone might have had more
He did lead the season in passing touchdowns
@@jacksclips9343 wrong Russ had passing yards not tds Lamar lead in passing tds
Can you imagine if Vick and Cunningham had the designed run plays that Lamar and can have now... sheeesh. Woulda seen a few more 1000 yard seasons I think
Vick would've broke the Dickerson record. Lol
He'd have a 2000 yard season
Ahh the good ole Steelers days with Kordel Stewart and Jerome Bettis in the backfield. Not that I dislike Big Ben I mean he’s better of course but I just get a taste of nostalgia watching Stewart play...especially in that old stadium
yup. good ol days watching the bust and kordell.
John Elway is probably the best athlete ever at the QB position. Dude was a stud.
Crazy he said McNair was the best quarterback in titans history like warren moon doesn’t exist😒
Moon didn't run like these guys and was a much, much better passer than most on the list.
Moon did run LoL Moon/Air a tie for #1
Technically moon never played for the Titans , now in franchise history yes Warren Moon
He said titans history not oilers history
McNair took them to a Superbowl and wuz co-MVP with Manning
wilson is too low
wtf? elway?
Ya it doesn't make sense why they would rank based on career touchdowns, obviously Tarkenton has more because Russ is still playing....
It’s really disrespectful 🤦🏽♂️
Mobile qbs don’t have to be the fastest just quick on the feet
Kyler??
What Elway did on 3rd and 6 in that SB was what Arron Rodgers failed to do on 3rd and 8 inside the RedZone against the Bucs in this past NFC title game. That's what separates the legends from everyone else, those key moments.
Rodgers is a legend though.
Much Gratitude
Lamar is definitely different then any of these guys due to his ability to put defenders on their knees and backs without even touching them. His ankle breaking and juking is on another level.
No Staubach i watched him kill teams with his legs - kaepernickel had to be number 12 that's why they stopped at 11
Finally a list that includes Air McNair. Titan ☝🏾
✌🏾
Good list. I think I'd put guys like Jake Plummer, Daunte Culpepper, and Aaron Rodgers in the runner ups. One understated guy is someone like Mark Brunell who was pretty shifty for a guy who didn't really like to actually run.
If you're including those guys, the Ken Stabler and Warren Moon make the list too
Where’s Colin Kaepernick?
Who?
Never heard of caperdick. Is she ugly?
Tysum hill to
Do you know what elusive means? Go look it up.
Straight line speed was off the charts, but Kap wasn't very elusive. He also, unfortunately, didn't put in enough time as a quality starter to be on here. He had a great 2.5 seasons to start, but fell off before he got blacklisted.
Where Bobby Douglass of the bears
Football practice is now in session and watching film is a huge part of that
Shhhiiiit. idk how much he started outside of his one great season, but Bobby Douglas was the gold standard for running qb's. pretty sure he had the single season yards record before vick got 1,000
