I agree with Fowler's comparison of Book to Tarkenton & Staubach regarding " back yard " scrambles.

That Tarkenton comp is interesting.
I think that is a good comparison based on my filtered recollection of Tarkenton, who was in his prime a little before my recollection. Seeing him on video, though, does make the Book comparison seem pretty good. Fran was a fairly small guy too, . . right?

One big difference, Tarkenton had a successful NFL career
I'll leave it there....I don't see Book playing much on Sundays....

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.

Here is some video of Fran Tarkenton
Warning: Amy Klobuchar is in the video.

That could be Book scrambling.

No, Archie had as much physical ability as anyone. Great arm, speed, toughness but he was saddled
with one of the worst teams ever and took a beating. He still performed well. He was way more talented than either of his sons. Plus, he was an absolute class act.

I'll buy that. Archie's from the MS Delta, so it was fitting to hear the blues with his highlights.
