Jim Plunkett. - A career 67.5 QB rating? I don't think so

Bob Waterfield. - A guy nobody remembers and doesn't even have good numbers for his era

Norm Van Brocklin. - Maybe, but probably not…

Sammy Baugh. - Ditto…

Eddie LeBaron. - See Bob Waterfield

George Blanda. - A deserving HoF'er, but certainly not for his quarterbacking alone

SuperHornet wrote:You're cherry-picking, Venus. Waterfield's numbers are actually outstanding given the run-happy era in which he played. His yards-per-completion averages are all over 12, and mostly over 15. During the 1951 championship run, the team AVERAGED 5.2 yards per rush, and 16.9 yards per completion. Don't whine about the supposedly "pathetic" 3,199 total passing yards between both Waterfield and Van Brocklin. That was over a 12-game schedule, which translates to over 4,200 yards over a 16-game season. They averaged nearly FIVE TOUCHDOWNS a game as well. In addition to the outstanding passing attack, the Rams ALSO had a nearly unstoppable full-house rushing attack; you don't typically see such a combination even today. Waterfield himself played three other positions very well. (A 42-yard career punting average, nearly perfect on PATs in an era when that wasn't a given, decent with field goals, and described as providing the best cover job ever on Don Hutson.) The Rams have retired Waterfield's number, but have NOT retired Van Brocklin's. Do you know something they don't, Venus?

That's patent bologna. In that era, quarterbacks were expected to call their own plays. Waterfield KNEW when to call runs and when to pass. Part of the reason those plays were successful was Buckets' innate feel for timing.

See above. There's MUCH more to quarterbacking than just throwing the ball around. Too bad people forget that now that the stakes are so high that coaches treat their QBs like idiots.

Mvemjsunpx wrote:I don't know why Waterfield's ability to play other positions matters.

That's obvious. The ability to play more than one position creates a flexibility in roster control. In other words, if a quarterback can kick, you don't have to have a specialist to do that. Hence, you can use that roster spot for something else, like an extra receiver or DB. In other words, Waterfield was an intelligent ATHLETE, something we don't see much of anymore....
