How long do running quarterbacks last in the NFL?

I'm sure most poeple are eagerly waiting for Dak to get hurt.

so then you're saying most of the Cowboys fanbase are the equivalent of pathetic Eagles fans? You said "most".

most mobile qbs that played for 10 plus years turn out to be good throwers of the football as they age.

If the qb doesn't want to throw it and use legs 5-6 years avg as a starter.

Steve Mcnair and Donovan Mcnabb were good qbs with great scrambling ability. Talent wise I'm starting to think Dak has a similar skill yet.

I swear to God, our fans.

Does anybody, like, remember Steve McNair? Air McNair? I think he probably still has a more live arm than Prescott.

I don't think Dak is a scrambling quarterback. He's more of a guy who doesn't see the guy open, he's gong to take off and run the ball. Two different quarterback styles.

Name some losing quarterbacks and how long their career was in the NFL.

He was black though. Had to be a great runner.

There's a difference between mobile QBs and running QBs. Romo was mobile. Prescott runs. One had NFL talent to make plays in the pocket. The other doesn't.

If you have a running QB in the NFL you don't have a QB.

Sam Bradford seems to last and last and last.....lol

Some QBs need to keep running before they get cut.

Yes.

Bobby Douglas (@late ‘60s Chicago Bears) and Michael Vick we’re consistently “running QBs.” Can’t think of any others right now, other than maybe Tebow.

Virtually everyone else, from the post-War era on, is a “scrambler.”

There is a difference.

 

[roughneck266]

Ron Mexico and Randall Cunningham lasted a good bit. Obviously Vick took a bit of a "vacation" in there but the fact remains..

 

[Captain-Crash]

Vince Young, Johnny Manziel, and Tim Tebow, running quarterbacks.

 

[Captain-Crash]

dual threat quarterback are not accurate enough as a passer to be a pocket quarterback alone. Here lies a problem with many dual threat quarterbacks: a lot of them are not the most accurate passers and use their legs to get out of trouble. Sometimes they can adapt to the NFL, like Marcus Mariota and Michael Vick. Others end up like Vince Young, Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III, & Tim Tebow.

Mcnair could sling the ball downfield, but was erratic. Do you remember that piece too or is your memory selective?

 

[jjtrcka22]

Russell Wilson, Cam, Steve Young, Steve McNair, McNabb had / are having pretty long careers.

They are all built pretty thick (as is Dak). Wilson and Young are shorter, but still well built.

Dak should be able to handle 5-8 runs a game.

Do I remember your distorted view of McNair? No, I don't.

Besides, even if that would be true it isn't like Prescott. He can't sling the ball downfield AND he's erratic.

Running QBs last till a major knee injury.

I recall seeing " highlights" of the games and him dropped back in the pocket just HEAVE LAUNCHING 60 yard deep strikes

roger Staubach ran quite a bit but he also got hurt a lot
