Yes, that's correct. Of those QB's listed, Brendon Kay had the best rushing season. Well ahead of Collaros who I always remembered as a running QB.

The rushing stats are wrong....Collaros had 344 yards on 61 carries in 2009 and Munchie had 335 yards on 55 carries so unless you're going by rate stats instead of bulk yardage, the statement about Brendan's rushing is incorrect.

Obviously the fact still remains that we haven't had a rushing QB like this in the modern era...I'm honestly shocked one of the oldies hasn't come in here yelling about Brig Owens or Albert Johnson yet though.

There are a lot more pieces and tweets about Ridder RE:NFL, with many people basically saying he has taken the place of Kellen Mond in the tweener area between the Trask/Wilson/Jones tier and the next group of QBs, and could easily go in the 3rd or 4th round this year if things keep up.

I just don’t see it. I think he has turned around his season and doing great, but I don’t think he has the elite athleticism to be a “running” type QB in the NFL ala Lamar or Mike Vick. And I don’t think he has the accuracy or skillset...yet.

Keep in mind that they are viewing it from a potential perspective of what he could be if his talent were maximized. Ridder does have a lot of athleticism, size, decent arm strength, etc...

I don’t see him being an NFL starter, but if he continues playing like he has over the last 4-5 weeks, then he will be drafted eventually.

AJ McCarron is still in the league. Des could make himself a good living using his smarts and backing up a good QB for several years.
