    Yeah,I agree....I remember in the 2010s,sometimes the defense needed a spy against him, otherwise he was going to have an easy first down with his legs even if it was a third down and 9 and the coverage was perfect.He was also amazing to extent the play... He was such a killer!

    QBs that can keep eyes downfield while breaking the pocket are the ones to fear most.

    This was Kordell

    It was why Kordell was not and never would be a good quarterback

    Kordell would fit right in today

    I see this trait in Spencer Rattler too
    Drafted to a sucky team
    Hopefully he gets another chance

    Great big difference in a scrambling Qb, and a Running Qb.
    Example Ben was a scrambling Qb , and never ran the ball more than 52 times in a season.
    Lamar Jackson is a running QB, and never has run for less than a 100 times except last year, and he didn't play all year.
    Mahomes is a scrambling Qb runs an average of 62 times a year.
    Josh Allen is a running Qb, and runs about 116 times a year. Big difference in a scrambling Qb, and a Running Qb.

    This, there is a difference, and some for a crazy reason cannot tell the difference.
    Ben, and Mahomes are scrambling Qbs , they average 60, or less in actual runs.
    Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen are running Qbs , they average 100 , or more in actual runs.
    Big difference. In a scrambling Qb, and a Running Qb.

    You can scramble, and not even break the line of scrimmage.
