Man, Tarkenton was just smart about it. He wasn't juking guys, and he wasn't muscling out of tackles, he was just making simple cuts that he knew the big guys coming for him couldn't pull off with all their extra weight. It's like watching a physics demonstration.
He often was. Deacon Jones of the Rams has often said that he and Merlin Olsen talked about trying to hold Tarkenton up so one of them could take out his knees. They hated to as Jones put it "Chase that little fucker everywhere."
Great Tarkenton to end it, BUT there is a play ive been waiting forever to relive where he scrambles for 18 seconds..It still might be the longest play from scrimmage(?)
He had the fastest 40-yard time ever by a very large margin until John Ross tore his hamstring beating it by .01 seconds. Michael Vick ran a 4.23 40, and didn't even look winded when he did it.
I know it's hard to find the older clips (and I'm showing my age), but it's a shame you can't find Staubach clips. I was an Eagles fan in my youth, and he made everyone cry.
all I have to say is take ten minutes to read up on the dudes case, and you wouldn't be thinking he did anything. Their are so many things wrong with her/her friends accusations against him.
Wait a minute no Steve Young runs at all? no eli manning in the super bowl? Cuningham , fine, Vick, fine . Cam had some good ones. The Steve young avoiding sacks and running for the touch down has to be #1 though.
Honestly, no it wasn't. He had a clear opening to run to the right and instead he chose to stop and run backwards towards the endzone. It was a really bad decision that worked out mostly due to luck and partly due to his athleticism. The decision making was very poor. The clip immediately after was almost as bad. Wilson ignored a clear 1st down he could have had by running to the left sideline.
So glad to see the mini compilation of Fran. No doubt about it, he was THE best at avoiding the sack. It's funny how many announcers were comparing the QB moves to Tarkenton. I loved watching him play. He made every game, and every offensive play, electric!
It was nice to see Fran the Scram Tarkenton. Surprised no clips of Roger the Dodger Staubach. Though he was mainly a backup quarterback for Denver for only 4 years in the late 70s, Norris Weese made the most incredible scrambling and tackle breaking plays I can remember a QB doing. Thanks for another fabulous video.
Savage Brick Sports I waited all video for that! (Patriots fan here) so I wasn't lookin forward to reliving it but that sure was elusive. ...anyway great videos man! Keep it up, thanks
GarrusN7 didn't include the Steve young one because he wasn't touched by a defender until he was already across the line of scrimmage, so it's not really a sack avoid but it is an amazing run
I watched that Seattle-KC game where Dave Krieg threw the game winning TD... If Derrick Thomas makes that sack it would have been his 8th of the GAME, that was heartbreaking...RIP DT58
Claypot10 What are you talking about? He kept dozens of plays alive using his ability to escape pressure. Not just any quarterback can evade pressure like he did. Sure he hasn't won anything super major during his time, but his stats speak for themselves.
Fran Tarkenton...glad to see him here. There’s also some more Wentz plays, Rodgers plays and someone else pointed out Steve Young. Definitely make a part two!! (Put the one where Wentz ducks under two giants defenders for a first)
Thanks for the great ending, I grew up hating Quarterbacks because of Tarkenton, RAMS fan all my life, first game 1969, Fearsome Foursome, how come you didn't show Rodger Staubach running for his life against Youngblood, the good old days!. Eric Underwood, Thanks again.
Tristan MacLeod, Hmm... Young and Rodgers both spent years backing up Hall of Famers and in some ways both surpassed their Hall of Fame predecessors (is Rogers even capable of throwing a pick?) But Tarkenton’s achievements came out of a completely different era and some of his records stood for so many decades. It’s hard to compare. I might give you Steve Young, he was an insane scrambler and a brilliant passer for sure... but Rogers? Yeah he’s got the arm, no doubt about that, but I just don’t see the mobility, not like Tarkenton.
Tristan MacLeod Brock Osweiler has a better completion percentage than 90% of pre-1980 quarterbacks. The skill gap is unprecedented. Fran Tarkenton is the greatest scrambler to ever live, and was simultaneously one of the best passers of his time.
Frona you should check out roger staubachs highlights. He was a contemporary of tarkentons and outplayed him routinely. Everything good that tarkenton did, staubach did better
The guy who make this video are fall in love with Russell Wilson A lot of plays by Eli Maning John Elway Brett Favre Aaron Rogers Steven Young Joe Montana Jim Kelly And Troy Aikman But not
LOL HAHAHAHAHAH I was about to give your video a thumbs down because of NO Tarkenton, but then you dedicated the last part of this video to him, THUMBS UP!!!!!!
Me too, I enjoyed the list but was this close to commenting "what, no Fran the Man or Roger the Dodger. Tarkenton was my first favorite player when I was a kid.
It’s equally entertaining to watch Vick hit the jets and scorch a defense like that, as it is to watch Roethlisberger rumble for like 15 yards and the sideline go nuts
I'm sorry, but you have a QB scramble video and no Steve Young? He is has the 2nd most rushing yards for a QB in history, I know its hard to choose, but I grew up watching him, I have not seen the combination of running and throwing since.
The McNabb one was my favorite. I remember getting the flu that weekend - what a great season it was for us in 2004. I think Deshaun Watson is another one who's got the moves. And "Russ" what a stud!!! #GoBirds
Die hard Panthers fan since their inception..., but, the "Helmet Catch", should have been here. Give credit where it is earned. That was a great play. As always, just my opinion.
Man, Tarkenton was just smart about it. He wasn't juking guys, and he wasn't muscling out of tackles, he was just making simple cuts that he knew the big guys coming for him couldn't pull off with all their extra weight. It's like watching a physics demonstration.
It looks like he was running for his life.
He often was. Deacon Jones of the Rams has often said that he and Merlin Olsen talked about trying to hold Tarkenton up so one of them could take out his knees. They hated to as Jones put it "Chase that little fucker everywhere."
Great Tarkenton to end it, BUT there is a play ive been waiting forever to relive where he scrambles for 18 seconds..It still might be the longest play from scrimmage(?)
TO hear him tell it he was running for his life. POOR offense line.
“ Ran about 60 yards to get 6” 😂
RIP McNair
Zach Crutcher Sports Highlights you dont see players like we got to growing up mcnair was a great i was born 80's
The Titans certainly did not lose the Super Bowl because of a lack of effort.
Best freaking superbowl ever to me..every yard was earned..
Zach Crutcher Sports Highlights yep
🐐
How do you forget Eli's escape in the Super Bowl and Steve Young's epic TD against the Vikings? Otherwise, great video...
Otherwise?
It already is great!
I cam here for this.
Yay yay
Just look it up
The "best of all-time" video that doesn't include the most memorable play of the game-winning drive against an undefeated opponent in the Super Bowl.
Tony Romo juking JJ Watt was straight up disrespectful.
Carlton Banks filth
Carlton Banks Right on, Carlton.
Watt was even offsides and still couldn't get him.
Watt hasn't been the same since lol
That's my quarterback
Where's the famous Steve Young stumble to the end zone? That's the greatest EVER!
And the best announcer call of all time as well.
Vick is soooo fast
Greg Richmond I was thinking the same thing his legs arent even moving fast but he is getting distance lol. 🏃🏾💨
He had the fastest 40-yard time ever by a very large margin until John Ross tore his hamstring beating it by .01 seconds.
Michael Vick ran a 4.23 40, and didn't even look winded when he did it.
At getting dogs to fight
His long ass legs. He was gone, too bad he couldn’t run from the police
verde thought 4.33
Fran Tarkenton would probably fill a whole 15 minute video all by himself.
Thanks for the Fran Tarkenton highlight reel. I remember linemen having to take a break on Fran's longer scrambles to throw-up.
I know it's hard to find the older clips (and I'm showing my age), but it's a shame you can't find Staubach clips. I was an Eagles fan in my youth, and he made everyone cry.
"The escapeability of Roethlisberger" lmao
Why is that funny?
True true +steve b
Ikr
ur darkest fear the only thing Roethlisberger is escaping is jail time and a rape charge
all I have to say is take ten minutes to read up on the dudes case, and you wouldn't be thinking he did anything. Their are so many things wrong with her/her friends accusations against him.
For those who never saw Tarkenton, trust me, the guy was an escape artist and truly earned his way into the Hall of Fame!
Wait a minute no Steve Young runs at all? no eli manning in the super bowl? Cuningham , fine, Vick, fine . Cam had some good ones. The Steve young avoiding sacks and running for the touch down has to be #1 though.
Mentioning Cam without mentioning Dangeruss is stupid. Wilson is way better at sack avoids and is way smaller with a horrible oline
Cunningham was great
Andrew Hatcher ? Russel has a decent oline and cam has a fucking piece of bread the hells your point?
Eli is number 1
Tarkenton was certifiably insane.
Was he even good? Why aren’t they counting to 5 Mississippi before rushing?
That play by jameis was amazing
Not as good as getting away with rape though.
He truly is a jack of all trades.
Honestly, no it wasn't. He had a clear opening to run to the right and instead he chose to stop and run backwards towards the endzone. It was a really bad decision that worked out mostly due to luck and partly due to his athleticism.
The decision making was very poor.
The clip immediately after was almost as bad. Wilson ignored a clear 1st down he could have had by running to the left sideline.
+xenteko better than what you can do. that not luck it skill. hater
Ya you right. What kind of asshole can't make the right decision in that low pressure situation? we should go show 'em how it's done!
So glad to see the mini compilation of Fran. No doubt about it, he was THE best at avoiding the sack. It's funny how many announcers were comparing the QB moves to Tarkenton. I loved watching him play. He made every game, and every offensive play, electric!
I asked for QB sack avoids not Russell Wilson highlights
There are 4 Russell Wilson scrambles in this video, however there are 41 scrambles in total, do the math, this video is less than 10% russel wilson
Savage Brick Sports I think they were joking saying Wilson is so good, might be wrong though
No I was joking
#GoHawks
Robin Fillmore lmao
It was nice to see Fran the Scram Tarkenton. Surprised no clips of Roger the Dodger Staubach. Though he was mainly a backup quarterback for Denver for only 4 years in the late 70s, Norris Weese made the most incredible scrambling and tackle breaking plays I can remember a QB doing. Thanks for another fabulous video.
I wanted to see Eli in the super bowl break away from the Patriots and heave it leading to "the helmet catch" 😓😓😓😓
Shit how did I forget
The world may never know
Savage Brick Sports I waited all video for that! (Patriots fan here) so I wasn't lookin forward to reliving it but that sure was elusive. ...anyway great videos man! Keep it up, thanks
I think I just contradicted myself, lol
As a Pats fan, was waiting for it as well, that play had me so heated winter didn't even come that year.
Romo is one of the most underrated play extenders
Actually he is just bad
Hudson Hendricks k
@@hudsonhendricks9550 anything to support that? Or are you just saying that because he was the QB for the Cowboys
Need some Steve Young in one of these. At least that one he had against the Vikings.
GarrusN7 He was one of the best at these types of plays
GarrusN7 didn't include the Steve young one because he wasn't touched by a defender until he was already across the line of scrimmage, so it's not really a sack avoid but it is an amazing run
Ya damn right Steve Young 😁 good hell he had a hundred of these from college threw the 9rs.
Savage Brick Sports he gets touched just research the video
Ethan Matz Thats what I said. And What about Brett Favre. This video was a disgrace.
I watched that Seattle-KC game where Dave Krieg threw the game winning TD... If Derrick Thomas makes that sack it would have been his 8th of the GAME, that was heartbreaking...RIP DT58
Michael Vick and Aaron Rodgers probably get their own video.
Numoyunne what about Russell Wilson? He is literally the God at escaping
Numoyunne you mean Rodgers and Wilson
No, that's not what I meant. I said what I meant bud.
Fran Tarkenton is the Gold Standard.
@@wayneegli8379 Mike Vick is The Platinum Standard.
Having one of these without even one clip of Steve Young is like having a clip about greatest receivers without jerry rice in it.
Thank you for putting Romo on here.
The Fran Tarkenton highlights at the end has me dying 😂 Dude spent his whole career improvising and putting up numbers
Eli Manning during the Helmet Catch play?
GB06 Chomp Chomp *says someone is a Dallas fan* *Shows clips of McNabb and Cunningham outrunning a Dallas Defense*
GB06 Chomp Chomp he's a 49ers/raiders fan
Big Ball Of Sunshine luck doesnt count
@@apachified3682 wasnt luck bitch
@@EthanBradburyVlogs oh but it just is :)
No Favre? No Steve Young?
What about Terry Bradshaw avoiding the Raiders rush, before "The Immaculate Reception".
ceave I said the Exact same thing. They were by far the best at this.
They did show a favre scramble TD, when he was with the Vikings
3:58--Best something-out-of-nothing play I've ever seen! P.S. The voice is that of one of the best sports announcers today: Brad Sham.
Lots of omissions and inclusions I could quibble about, but you put the Fran Tarkenton mini highlight reel in the place of honor so I'm happy :-)
I knew Romo would have a couple clips in this vid.
Abel Ramirez He got eyes in the back of his head
People have forgotten how good he was at escaping pressure and extending plays
HAHAHAHA
Soccercrazyigboman in order to be forgotten at being good you are suggesting that he was once good. Which he never was haha bunch of cowgirl bitches.
Claypot10 What are you talking about? He kept dozens of plays alive using his ability to escape pressure. Not just any quarterback can evade pressure like he did. Sure he hasn't won anything super major during his time, but his stats speak for themselves.
2:15, it’s should be illegal for him to be that damn fast😭💀
RIGHT!!!!
Saved the best all time for last. Could do a whole hour of only Fran Tarkenton
Another awesome video, love your mixup of current and vintage clips😎👍
*Damn Brick, you work too hard on these videos my guy. Somebody needs to pay you something! Dope shit, thx!* 😁😁😁
I love how you show the mcnabb in dallas after the reference in the previous clip. lmao
Vick should have like 7 minutes to himself 😂
😂😂😂 killa cam tho 4:49
4:38 55 was getting his ass handed to him
I was surprised not to see Steve Young in his touchdown run versus Minnesota
Fran Tarkenton...glad to see him here. There’s also some more Wentz plays, Rodgers plays and someone else pointed out Steve Young. Definitely make a part two!! (Put the one where Wentz ducks under two giants defenders for a first)
Roger Staubach, too.
itsnotaboutme I’m an eagles fan so definitely not a fan of his but I’ll admit he was an amazing quarterback and scrambler
If you're talking about the famous "Wentz will be... escaping!" play that was against the Redskins
grew up watching fran every sunday. always have been and always will be a minnesota viking fan.
I salute you Randall Cunningham
KarlMalowned32 Have you seen the Pretty Good on him?
Far Away its very well done.
Yeah I'm a giant's fan but Cunningham was a beast
Fran Tarkington is the best scrambler to ever play the game! Thanks for the mini highlight reel
Mcnabb should have had SEVERAL on this vid :)
McNabb is worse than Carson Palmer. Change my mind.
@SWP 215 All I'm saying is check the stats and check the tape
Eerily similar careers
@SWP 215 If you didn't win the SB, playoff wins mean nothing bc you never finished
Neither of them won a sb, so they're basically the same QB
Playoffs almost every year 5 nfc championship s and a superbowl but there the same. 👌
@@charlesqueen7008 yeah he never won that SB so it doesn't mean shit
5:50 I keep watching it and I cant tell how Romo knows Watt is coming, plus the exact timing for the spin. Crazy.
Saved the best for last! After announcers say “Like Tarkington” for other QBs.
13:40 cam absolutely destroys that man's ankles with a nasty juke like damn
Not a single clip of Steve Young. Hilarious.
Michael H. Bruh I can not take you guys serious
This is probably my favorite video so far! Well done mate!!
thats my boy Frank Tarkington! Hes Probably the GOAT of "buying time" lol
Thanks for the great ending, I grew up hating Quarterbacks because of Tarkenton, RAMS fan all my life, first game 1969, Fearsome Foursome, how come you didn't show Rodger Staubach running for his life against Youngblood, the good old days!. Eric Underwood, Thanks again.
Will there ever be another Tarkenton? Unreal.
Lol imagine how tired you'd be chasing that guy. Dropping back 20- 30 yards is a bit excessive though.
Tristan MacLeod, Hmm... Young and Rodgers both spent years backing up Hall of Famers and in some ways both surpassed their Hall of Fame predecessors (is Rogers even capable of throwing a pick?) But Tarkenton’s achievements came out of a completely different era and some of his records stood for so many decades. It’s hard to compare.

Am I the only one who misses some Doug Flutie Plays here ?? It's old school but he definitely belongs here. And YES he played also CFL ...
12:46 Most flat, white bread announcer since Joe Buck
There is a lot wrong with Joe Buck
I actually really like him, but personal preference I guess.
Joe Buck used to be flat. Not so much anymore, actually
i think the audio might be delayed on that clip
7:42 I forgot about that play. That should have been considered giving himself up.
0:11 Tom Bradys never gonna be doing that 😂
Sorry i am not getting rid of Winton for 2 years of tom
Happy to see cousin Bob Lee. He was Tarkenton's backup for a few years.
The guy who make this video are fall in love with Russell Wilson
A lot of plays by
Eli Maning
John Elway
Brett Favre
Aaron Rogers
Steven Young
Joe Montana
Jim Kelly
And Troy Aikman
But not
I love Fran Tarkenton impressions.
No Steve Young? No Roger Staubach?!?!
2:19 Announcer: “did you see that?“…no, we were all watching the game with our eyes closed😅
I miss Cunningham and the 98 vikings man...
Same man, we need to get Moss back on the field and out of that suit LOL
Nice of you to throw in some Tarkenton. Not the biggest or fastest but I could have sworn he had eyes in the back of his head.
LOL HAHAHAHAHAH I was about to give your video a thumbs down because of NO Tarkenton, but then you dedicated the last part of this video to him, THUMBS UP!!!!!!
Me too, I enjoyed the list but was this close to commenting "what, no Fran the Man or Roger the Dodger. Tarkenton was my first favorite player when I was a kid.
McNair, what a MONSTER! Rest in peace my brotha
When even bother giving Tarkenton a line, just give him a center and 3 receivers
That last highlight had me in tears. 🤣🤣
McNabb, McNair, Montana, Moon, Flutie, Elway, Kordell Stewart. This guy's favorites, but not a 'best of' by any other measure.
I love this list there's just one thing wrong... where's the great runs from Steve Young?!?
No one better than Fran Tarkington, I love watching him!
Steve Young against the Vikings 1988
I like how the iconic and arguably the best play in SB history isn’t on here (ELI MANNING’S QB ESCAPE FOR HELMET CATCH BY TYREE)
Hey you used the thumbnail I sent! :)
OwenTheLegendary yes I did
the qb in the thumbnail is Marcua Marioda just thought i should menion that
June Nail your really dumb or trolling lmao it's mcnair from the older titans teams. Learn before you talk
Ser Josh I think he was joking
It’s equally entertaining to watch Vick hit the jets and scorch a defense like that, as it is to watch Roethlisberger rumble for like 15 yards and the sideline go nuts
Should title it, "How to compensate for a crappy offensive line"
This is why this video should just be Russel Wilson highlights
Yo great video loved it from start to finish
Wow, Romo actually used to able to take a hit lmao
Enemydaffodil 1 no shit, he was taken hits way before he got an oline.
I mean that’s what got him to the injury point all the hits he took just look at Ryan tannhill
After a while and all the hits Romo took throughout the years is the reason he got his chronic back issues. He was always injury prone
2:25 Glad you included the GOAT.
Where's Staubach? Easily one of the best QB's at making plays outside of the pocket of all time.
The Sponge Monkey yeah dodger roger
The Sponge Monkey The Dodger is a list all by himself.
“The escapability of Roethlisberger” said no one ever lmao
You obviously never watched him play, dumbfuck
He had a two or three year period where he looked like a bigger, slower Fran Tarkenton. Recently, that hasn't been the case.
Steve Young? Favre? Eli? Elway? Jeff Garcia? Jake Plummer?
that romo clip isa timeless classic
Where's Farve,Culpepper and Young?
4:58 was that the super bowl ? titans came up like one yard short to win .
Not one drew brees clip, that's disrespectful
Jay V I agree
Not a single Stafford clip either
JL3Legend no Rodgers either
JL3Legend nevermind there was one Rodgers
14:27 is that game when Derrick Thomas broke the single-game sack record..lol but the 1 he didn't get is the 1 that actually counted😂😂
The lack of Aaron Rodgers plays is disturbing.
Not really. Fuck that crybaby.
Fuck that crybaby.
Agreed. Rodgers is one of the best to escape.
I remember that mcnabb play like it was yesterday. One of my fondest memories watching football as a kid.
No Steve Young? 👎 Most of them were awesome but Steve would've been on there before Tom Brady's flip to Gronk.
An the throw of Roethlisberger to nobody
I'm sorry, but you have a QB scramble video and no Steve Young? He is has the 2nd most rushing yards for a QB in history, I know its hard to choose, but I grew up watching him, I have not seen the combination of running and throwing since.
4:05
The play that made me a Romo hater
haha... fuck the Eagles
LlpzJr well said!😂😂😂😂
Final Phlash Its all good 1:43 made me a McNabb hater (not really)
Haters gonna hate 9-1
Oozywolf W
I like the Jim McMahon play at 1:38, a 60yd throw on the run, but there's a lot of goodies here
When it comes to scrambling, putting Peyton Manning in the same video as Russell Wilson and Mike Vick is very disrespectful!!!
And Brady, I mean come on...
4:57 that's the ultimate pressure. Superbowl, 22 sec left, 1 timeout. clutch play. 1 yard shy for the tie next play
Best “all time” and not one clip of Roger the Dodger Staubach? Screw this I’m going home
Gary Evans definitely heavy on the last 15 years, as far as clips.
The McNabb one was my favorite. I remember getting the flu that weekend - what a great season it was for us in 2004. I think Deshaun Watson is another one who's got the moves. And "Russ" what a stud!!! #GoBirds
Not one Elway clip ?...
Die hard Panthers fan since their inception..., but, the "Helmet Catch", should have been here.
Give credit where it is earned. That was a great play.
As always, just my opinion.
Not one Elway scramble??
What happened to Eli’s one in the Super Bowl that led to a helmet catch
