Fran was smaller, a little more dodgy, with a weaker arm, but piled up great statistics because

when plays broke down he would hit the open receivers. He actually is a little more similar to Staubach but Staubach was loved because he did his time in the Navy.

  • I agree with Fowler's comparison of Book to Tarkenton & Staubach regarding " back yard " scrambles. [NT] - Irishize - 12:46pm 11/30/20 (10) [View All]
    • That Tarkenton comp is interesting. - Napoleon - 3:28pm 11/30/20
      • One big difference, Tarkenton had a successful NFL career - WoodstockIrish - 2:16pm 12/2/20

      • Yep, both are 6'. [NT] - Irishize - 3:39pm 11/30/20
      • Here is some video of Fran Tarkenton [LINK] - Napoleon - 3:34pm 11/30/20
        • That could be Book scrambling. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:27am 12/1/20
    • Ian has always reminded me of Archie Manning [NT] [LINK] - DonMiller - 1:16pm 11/30/20
      • No, Archie had as much physical ability as anyone. Great arm, speed, toughness but he was saddled - THEISMANCARR - 5:08pm 11/30/20
      • I'll buy that. Archie's from the MS Delta, so it was fitting to hear the blues with his highlights. [NT] - Irishize - 1:29pm 11/30/20
        • Love me some Delta! [NT] - Frankx - 3:29pm 11/30/20
