Re: A must-watch video on Jim Zorn
 

[quote=souperbad;586233]I watched one of those "NFL's Greatest Games" specials that was about a regular season game between the mighty '85 bears and the Green Bay Packers. It was the one when the Fridge caught a touchdown pass. Halfway, thru the game I realized that Zorn was QB for the Packers.

He played OK. At one point, he caught the famed 46 defense in a blitz and hit a long TD pass.[/quote]

I've seen that game a few times, BECAUSE Zorn was the QB. :)

That's funny he looks smaller than Doug Flutie & he's trying to teach JC to be a pocket passer. LOL

HTTR.

He's 6'2". Flutie is a midget.

[quote=GMScud;586133]Yeah I was kind of thinking the same thing. I wouldn't say he sucked, but he sure wasn't very good. His very best season as a pro was 1978, when his numbers looked about the same as Brunell's in 2005. And throwing 30 more career INTs than TDs is paltry to say the least. 27 INTs in 14 games in 1976. Wow. 18+ INTs in 5 different seasons.

Yeah, I'm glad he's our coach and not our QB. :)[/quote]

One thing that seems to hold true in football is that your success on the field doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be a good coach. Sometimes it's the worst players that become the best coaches.

[quote=53Fan;586231]I agree. Jim Zorn was a good QB in his day. It was a different time with different rules. You could abuse QB's and WR"s all day long and it was legal. Did anyone else notice he didn't have 1 fumble?....For his whole career?[/quote]

It was probably not official recorded. He actually had 54, according to Pro-Football Reference. He was much better than his successor by a long shot though.

Ok. I thought that sounded pretty amazing not to have a fumble your whole career. :)
