Who ever came up with this video idea at NFL Throwback is a legend
-
Can't stop at QB's now... We need a piece on RB's, WR's.... you get my point
-
I have seen Mahomes and Elway make some crazy off angle passes, but that behind the back pass from Jurgenson was just crazy.
-
"That's not an arm that's a gun, you gotta have a permit to carry that thing." John Madden, you are missed sir.
-
It's crazy to think about QBs back in the early days playing multiple positions. Otto Graham legitimately played defense in the same games he played QB. Like imagine nowadays Lamar Jackson throwing a TD pass then getting right back on the field and covering Tyreek Hill. Lol
-
NFL Throwback is back at it with new forms of history that we don’t know about
-
“You got any left handed footballs?” Dear lord, I did not expect that level of gold to come out of Favre’s mouth. 10/10.
-
Sammy Baughs 4 TDs (as QB) and 4 INTs (as DB) game is just unbelievable. Wow. Imagine any QB today breaking offensive and defensive records, let alone in one game...
-
NFL THROWBACK will never let the history of football die off or be forgotten.. So many legends ... All of them great.. Love these videos...
-
This concept needs to be done for every position, not only does it teach new people interested in the game, but it puts the leagues history/lore into a understandable order
-
Please do the other positions this video was so amazing to watch. As a young (22) fan of the nfl it means a lot to be able to see the history behind what made this sport so great. You hear names mentioned all the time but to actually see the film alongside makes it so much better.

Two Things: I am so happy that y'all put Vick on the list, I was baffled when you didn't put him under 'scrambler' and was scared you were going to diss him by not including him. I was relieved when I saw he did come up later as 'dual threat'. I am also very happy you put Brady at the top, can't argue with that. I truly feel lucky to be alive during the same timeline to be able to see what he has done. Awesome video! Rarely do I find a video this long that I won't even look up from.
-
I swear, NFL Throwback is literally producing some of the most bingeable content on YouTube. I'm not even from USA, but here I am, sitting through almost an hour of a sport I've never heard of. Hats off.
-
There's something so majestic and regal about a quarterback photographed during his pass attempt: the concentration in their eyes, the throwing motion, the sideway stance. It's all so distinct and unique.
-
Hurts to see how amazing Russ was and how much he has struggled this year
-
I’m not even a huge NFL fan, I’m a premier league football / la liga football fan (soccer), but this video was wildly entertaining, super helpful, and very well organized and put together. Great job. Started liking football by seeing Brett Favre pass the baton to Aaron Rodgers, and how they always seemed to get out of a mess miraculously.
-
please do another video of this kind but with coaches and their innovations instead. that would be incredibly interesting to watch as well
-
You guys don't do long form stuff often but when you do...It's GOLD! I will watch this intently when I have a chance.
-
Amazing video. In my mind, one QB trailblazer was Doug Flutie, who paved the way for some of the shorter quarterbacks in this video. Flutie was on the shorter end for a quarterback, standing at 5 feet 10 inches. Flutie won the Heisman Trophy in 1984 and was a starter in the USFL for one year before the league folded. Went to the Bears and later the Patriots before getting cut (NE fell apart after his departure).
-
Aaron Rodgers belongs in the precision passers category more so than the one he was put in. Sure he can scramble, but his accuracy is unmatched. Randall Cobb has 3 defenders on him? A-rod already sees an opening, and boom, touchdown.
