Download or read book Riddell Presents the Gridiron s Greatest Quarterbacks written by Jonathan Rand and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NFL coaches love to say that quarterbacks always get too much credit for winning or too much blame for losing. Football fans know better. The great quarterbacks are difference makers. They make the split-second decisions that produce big plays, elevate their teammates, and lead the way to Super Bowl glory. The great quarterback is, in short, the most irreplaceable player on the field. The San Francisco 49ers could not have won their first four Super Bowls without Joe Montana, a genius at picking apart defenses and pulling out last-minute victories. The Pittsburgh Steelers would not have won four Super Bowls in six years without the powerful arm and irrepressible leadership of Terry Bradshaw. The New York Jets could never have pulled off the most famous NFL upset of all time, a Super Bowl III win over the Baltimore Colts, without the swagger and skill of Broadway Joe Namath. He guaranteed a victory, then made good on his guarantee. In Riddell Presents The Gridiron's Greatest Quarterbacks, fans will meet the legendary field generals who grace the annals of professional football. Author Jonathan Rand ranks the top 25 quarterbacks of all time and recalls the greatest triumphs, extraordinary talents, and powerful personalities that made them and their teams winners. From Sammy Baugh and Sid Luckman, who put the quarterback position on the map, to Bart Starr, John Unitas, Bradshaw. Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino and Brett Favre, these are players of diverse skills, sizes, and temperaments who each arrived at the destination of greatness. Rand also details the rise of the African-American quarterbacks, who overcame decades of racism and cynicism to make their mark, the trade secrets of thegreat comeback quarterbacks, and how it feels to get buried under enormous defensive players and be the most marked man on the field. Through the words of these great quarterbacks and their teammates, coaches and opponents, readers will gain an understanding as to why the gridiron's greatest quarterbacks and the gridiron's greatest players are so often the same people.

Download or read book The Best Show in Football written by Andy Piascik and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ten years the Cleveland Browns compiled a better record and won more championships than any team in pro football history. In their first game they set an all-time attendance record and consistently drew the largest crowds of the post-World War II era. They dominated an upstart league and then silenced their detractors by doing the same to the NFL. The Browns were led by Paul Brown, a football visionary who changed pro football. Most important among his innovations was the leading role the franchise played in the integration of pro sports. While much of their competition continued with the racial exclusion of the past, the Browns featured some of the greatest black players of all-time, men who were an integral part of the Cleveland dynasty. The Best Show in Football: The 1946-1955 Cleveland Browns, Pro Football's Greatest Dynasty tells the story of those players and that dynasty. Included in that story is the construction of the Browns as well as accounts of the team's many victories. Dozens of interviews bring to life the exploits of Otto Graham, Bill Willis, Marion Motley, Lou Groza, Mac Speedie, Len Ford, Dante Lavelli, Frank Gatski, and so many others. In rich detail, The Best Show in Football demonstrates why Cleveland's dynasty was the greatest ever, greater even than several teams that are usually accorded that honor. The conclusions may be surprising but the evidence is all here. And along the way author Andy Piascik provides a wonderful trip back to football's golden age.

In "Leaders of the Pack," veteran Packers writer Rob Reischel explores the organization's history of successful signal-callers, highlighting Bart Starr's Super Bowl victories, Brett Favre's collection of NFL records, and Aaron Rodgers' ascent into becoming one of the best players in today's NFL.

He examines other team's dynamic trios--such as the Dallas Cowboys' Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, and Tony Romo or the San Francisco 49ers' Y. A. Tittle, Joe Montana, and Steve Young--but demonstrates why the Packers have the most successful players at the position in NFL history.

Download or read book BYU s Greatest Quarterbacks written by Jon Oliver and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few NCAA Division I college football programs have the established history and legacy at the quarterback position to match that of Brigham Young University (BYU). From Steve Young (1980s) to Steve Sarkisian (1990s) to Taysom Hill (2010s) to Zach Wilson (2020), the program's list of past quarterbacks who starred at the position is remarkable. Seven Cougar quarterbacks have been the recipient of the prestigious Sammy Baugh Trophy, awarded annually to the nation's top passer, the most of any NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision program. In addition, over the past 30 years BYU has had five quarterbacks enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame - Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, Steve Young, and Ty Detmer - the most of any NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) program since 1990 and second all-time to the University of Notre Dame's nine enshrined quarterbacks. In the following chapters some of the most memorable moments from the careers of BYU's greatest quarterbacks during the modern era of the Cougar football program (1960-2020) are highlighted. In addition, the author attempts to address the interminable question of "Who is BYU's Greatest Quarterback?" through a quantitative analysis of pre-weighted team and individual accomplishments during the tenure of each quarterback. The results support the nomination of four candidates to be honored on a "BYU Football Mount Rushmore of Quarterbacks." Appendices are provided that summarize the career statistics of all quarterbacks along with records of the fourteen BYU head football coaches to date. Cougar fans will enjoy a detailed stroll down BYU football memory lane as they reminisce about the many unforgettable players, coaches, and moments that have contributed to the rich history of the football program.
