What 2 QBs do you think of first when asked....

Steve DeBerg

I was thinking the same thing. I remember several times a game the camera would follow Okoye for a couple seconds while Steve was just back there waiting with the ball.

Do I not remember Steve Young very well? I don't think of him at all when it comes to play action. Really, it's not something I associate much with the west coast offense. I never recall noticing it at all when watching Young or Favre.

You know what? I said Dave Krieg and you are 100% right, it was DeBerg who was so amazing at that. My bad.

Him and Esiason would be my 2.

I would say yes. It's a shame sacks were not offically kept back in that day.

I've always wondered why the NFL doesn't group its resources together and list an 'official' sack total. There has got to be enough box scores, tv and radio footage to make a list going back to at least the late 60's. It's not right leaving out so many legends.

Most of the ones I have mentioned have already been named, but when I think about most accurate I think Aikman and P. Manning, and yet for completely different reasons. Aikman was a mechanics robot throwing precision lasers, and Peyton has the perfect touch on the ball and able to loft it right over the top of a would-be defender into the outstretched arms of his WR. Two completely different styles, yet both highly accurate in their own way.

STRONGEST ARM YOU'VE EVER SEEN? Dieter Brock.When you can throw a medicine ball one handed 35 yards down the field or throw the entire length of a Canadian football field with a few steps I can't argue with that.

MOST MECHANICALLY SOUND, BEST TECHNIQUE?I gotta go with Mr. Footwork Aikman over Marino. Marino had a pretty, compact throwing motion that was on a fast trigger, but he threw too many times off his back foot for me to show his style to young kids learning to be a QB.

BEST PLAY ACTION QB? No contest, Steve DeBerg. He's on alot of coaches highlight videos up here in Canada.

FASTEST QB YOU'VE EVER SEEN? Michael Vick. He's really a scat back playing QB.

MOST ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE LEAST GOD-GIVEN TALENT? Joe Montana. He shouldn't have won that many games with that noodle for an arm.

MOST ACCURATE QB YOU'VE EVER SEEN? Aikman.

COOLEST UNDER FIRE QB YOU'VE EVER SEEN? Montana.

GREATEST POTENTIAL BUT LEAST ACCOMPLISHED? Jeff George. Lousy brain. Close second is Ryan Leaf.

BIGGEST CHOKER YOU'VE EVER SEEN? Can I say Danny White?

BEST QB WITH THE DEEP BALL? Dan Fouts.

BEST AT PICKING UP THE BLITZ? Dan Marino.

TOUGHEST QB TO TAKE DOWN (either tackling, or just evasive) Take down - Culpepper - hard to pull those tree trunk thighs down. Evasive - Cunningham - he ran like the rubber band man.

QB WHO HAD THE SNOT KNOCKED OUT OF HIM THE MOST WHILE PLAYING? Manning Sr. I always felt sorry for him especially since he came up when the league didn't protect QBs with the "in the grasp" rule. This man was a warrior for the Saints.
