    McNabb ran quite a bit at Syracuse and rushed for 629 yards in 2000. He relied on his ability to run quite a bit early in his career. He is not in this category just due to the color of his skin.

    Steve Young was a running quarterback early in his career, too. He had 537 yards rushing in 1992, his first full season as the 49ers' starting quarterback. Hell, he ran for 454 yards in 1998, when he was 37 years old.

    That's nice....you brought in college stats.....when it was clearly (look above talking about the NFL) lol.
    Steve Young out of His own mouth has said numerous times.....I didn't learn to become a true Qb until much later in My career.....after I learned to play from the pocket. Its not magic that the only SB he won as the starting Qb was one if the least rushing from himself. Yes people all Qbs run at times.....all of them. If You don't know the difference betweena Qb the can run, and one that must run....that's a You problem.

    Sorry I missed this response. I hope you didn't hurt yourself moving those goalposts only to have me not respond for so long. You have been pushing back against mobile quarterbacks, but now it's okay if they learn not to run too much. That is interesting after watching Trubisky as a Steeler. He ran less and got worse in the process.

    You made an argument about people basing this on race, which is why I brought up Young, who was as dynamic a runner as any quarterback of his generation. He shows the flaw in that part of your argument.

    McNabb is brought up as a running quarterback because that is how he started. I am surprised you didn't know that.

    I thought Claypool would have been a good addition for Arthur Smith's offense.

    Chase spent some time this summer working out with Justin Fields getting ready for another chance in the NFL.

    Although the idea of both Claypool and Juju back on the same team woul be a complete nightmare to me.

    You didn't respond because You stupidly moved the goal post....realized You did, and stopped, but because you don’t have anyone to argue with....you stupidly came back. If You read above....we were talking about the NFL.....You know that, I know that, but Your stupid comment wouldn't work unless you brought up McNabbs college games. Do better. Also ....You should know you are wrong....just by the only mf agreeing with You. LoL.

    That's unfortunate for Claypool, but I seriously doubt if he would've been anything other than a bit player for Buffalo anyway. In fact, his injury might have bought him another year

    I'll always be a bit thankful of Claypool since his best NFL game was against my mortal enemies.

    Dude has made $8M without ever trying. Teach your kids to be 6'4" and really fast.

    That $8M could have been $80M had he made more of an effort. I gotta think he's pretty much done in the NFL. And he just turned 26 last month.

    I still marvel at how someone can go from calling him the next Megatron or Mapletron to complete bust just due to an immature action in the offseason. I mean it set his career trajectory on a path to being out if the league but wow.

    M. Bryant was just signed, hoping to return for the first time since 2018. I get it. sometimes guys with great athlete ability just never work out, but sometimes it is their oqn stupidity that ruins them.

    It's not marijuana that ruined him, it was the stupid rule against using it that did. The NBA doesn't allow testing for marijuana. If they did, there wouldn't be a NBA because they're all stoners. Lol

    It wasn't an immature act though it was his inability to show improvement on the field and actually regressing. He should have been working on making catches and keeping his feet, but never did.
