Well, the very first Lamar Jackson was "scrambling" Randall Cunningham. As for Kordell, I remember him going all the way back to his Colorado years. He was definitely a supreme talent. There was so much buzz about him in his 1st year with Pittsburgh. He had a couple of really good QB seasons with Pitt, getting them to the AFC title game in 98 and 02, but he just couldn't quite get them over the hump. A solid to good NFL career though.
@@Ozknot81 no he wasn't. Randal was very inconsistent. VERY. He kept getting benched as well. Steve Young is like Lamar but a much better thrower and a little bit slower. Kordell was a little worse throw than Lamar but crazy with the leg work. That's why I called him Lamar v1.
@@PhoenixDawnX77 Nah, Cunningham was a much better passer and runner than Stewart. With 942 rush yards in 1990, Randall Cunningham is one of the few who comes close to matching guys like Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick and Justin Fields on the ground.
Yeah Cunningham was definitely the first dual threat QB, but I can't say that Stewart wasn't also one of the first before Vick or Lamar to also play that way. It's just that Stewart wasn't as talented as Lamar, Vick, or other dual threat quarterbacks.
Yea but imagine Cowher letting Kordell do lore running rather than making him be a pocket passer. If he’s been used in a different offense then he’d have been even more fun to watch & might have led the Steelers to a SB.
Watching Kordell as a kid and looking back, my first thought is that he was a classic "feast or famine" player. When he was on his game, he was terrific. When he was off his game, it was obvious as well.
I never forgot about Kordell. I have been a lifelong Chicago Bears fan. But as a kid, I had a Stewart jersey and an autographed helmet, because I always admired seeing him play every position and back then I always wished he was a Bear. Then my wish came true when he got traded to Chicago, but sadly, as is the curse for all Bears players, he was pretty much washed up at that point.
HA! WHAT!?!?!? How on earth do you know who these guys are? I thought you were young but at this point im convinced you must be 40. Theres noway you gained this knowledge without watching. Fantastic video! I loved him. Couldn't believe what i saw him do in the nfl. I always felt he got screwed over.
@@youngf.l.y.1467 Justin Fields is most like Vick. No one wants to admit it but Mike was extremely inconsistent as a passer pre-Eagles and even then he just had a good 10 week stretch with the Eagles.
@@Watchingvideoslikeufields not Vick either he’s more polished as a passer as crazy as it is to say ..again bruh we haven’t seen another Vick yet Oml ..
He has the greatest throw in history, as far as I'm concerned. Go back and watch the miracle at Michigan. That ball was thrown 75 yards on the fly. That was back when NCAA balls were rounder. Amazing.
Kordell Stewart was known as Slash for playing multiple positions like running back and wideout. He was the most versatile athlete of his era. If he played in the NFL today, he would do well as a dual threat quarterback.
Kordell had his days. He was okay but never a pro level quarterback. His int/td ratio was terrible. If he had accepted being "Slash" he could have had a much longer career. He didn't like the role.
Very ahead of his time...he was Russell Wilson before Russell Wilson. If I could afford a kordell Stewart jersey I'd buy it. He was very underrated! In fact, I think Stewart was the influence for the Willie Beamen character in Any Given Sunday. Also, I wouldn't doubt I'd Micheal Vick drew inspiration from Stewart, although Vick said Steve young was his favorite player.
Vince Young and Kordell Stewart are very similar and have very similar college carrers. Also the 2 best finishes to a NCAA game are held by those 2 guys also both number 10.
my crazy but serious case for Kordell in the HOF: who has or will ever have: 658 yds receiving 5 rec tds, and punt 3 balls inside the 20, 14,000 yds passing 77 td passes, 3,000 yds rushing 38 rush tds, lamar might be HOF but he is along the mold of michael vick and cunningham and never caught passes stewart is in a league of his own...my reasoning is that there is literally no comparison for what he did and he is an important part of football history
@@gringostarr7858 ok give me someone else who did everything that he did? (i realize this is a radical statement but when you break it down there is a case to be made. not as a qb, but as "Slash")
Better Handing by the OCs would have made a huge difference in Kordell. Still exciting guy who scared defenses. Fun times...and maddening times. Hahaha
I hate how he was treated. He was GREAT! They never gave him the opportunity to reach his full potential, when far lesser quarterbacks got chance after chance. If he were playing today he definitely would have been similar to Vick, RG III, or Lamar Jackson.
Stewart did well under his first OC but the next OC system didn't fit Stewart's skill set. The offense in Baltimore was built around Lamar Jackson's strengths.
he was good at everything, but not great at anything...and im a steelers fan, loved the excitement he brought because you never knew, was it going to be heroic, or a let down on every play...his best position was WR, had many one handers and yards after catch was great
My dad loved Stuart and The Jaw but wanted him to stay at WR only used at QB in gimmick plays. They asked to much of him and it broke him because he just wasn't a top QB and taking big hits rushing was a horrible thing. Once the league figured him out it was over. So Sad because if used correctly he could have been special far longer. Ok in the Wildcat but but exposed by big D lineman and big hits by linebackers had they kept him at Receiver DBs and Safeties that drag players down not trying to end their careers in huge open field hits.
Just because Kordell Stewart was a good running QB doesn’t make him even close to Lamar. Jackson is a legit RB if he was to switch positions. The throwing ability of Jackson compared to Kordell isn’t close.
Ya the brother was talent no doubt Buh the Lamar Jackson is top 3 most athletic qbs of all time nd he not even n his 30s yet sooooo….. I’d compare em to Tyron Taylor or deshaun watson. Buh no Lamar Jackson
Only 2 people on the athletic level of a qb like lamar. Lamar obviously, and Mike Vick. No other qb was as dominant rushing as them 2. You have a bunch of qbs who are threats on the ground, but none as elite and dominant as the level Lamar and Vick are on. They are great rushers even when compared to RBs. Both have had 1000 yard rushing seasons(Lamar twice). Other rushing qb are good rushers for qbs, but don't compare to rbs. Only Mike and Lamar.
The first Lamar Jackson is A white gentleman named Steve Young. Randall C had a better arm than LJ. Vick had an arm but was inaccurate. He got better in Philly in terms of through the air.
Can you imagine what Vick's career would've been like if he started under Andy like McNabb did? He would be a borderline hof like McNabb, even though Donovan should be inducted one day
Dats why he aint being celebrated like Vick n Cunningham or even McNair or Kaepernick. I 4 got about those him being gay stuff dats what is..Cuz he was recieving ñ punting rushing. N it aint help being on ATL housewives
Stop it. Please Kordell was more versatile so please please stop with the HE WAS THE FIRST LAMAR JACKSON PLEASE. If you look at Kordell Highlights he was catching passes as a wide receiver as well. AND HOW ARE YOU GONNA SAY KORDELL WAS THE FIRST LAMAR WHEN LAMAR WAS NON EXISTENCE WHEN KORDELL WAS PLAYING BALL. SMDH
Ive always liked kordell stewart. I would say he absolutely tried his best cus i dont really remember his name to have been sullied by controversy or nothing like a lot of jerks in his position
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American and male (this shows you where, when and HOW I grew up). In 2002, I saw his Beyond The Glory segment, and learned that Kordell's problems around 1999, were due to his mother passing away. I immediately became sympathetic towards Stewart. And then in March 2003, my father unexpectedly passed away, and life hasn't been the same for me ever since. That was when I really looked at Kordell Stewart as an inspiration. Even BEFORE my Dad passed away, I remember that on Beyond The Glory, Kordell said that "If he had been willing to talk with other people about his mother's passing, that would have really helped him cope with his loss."
i honestly think theres a case for him to be in the HOF... for the simple fact there is no one comparable to him and there probably never will be and he is an important part of football history. who else has or ever will have: who has or will ever have: 658 yds receiving 5 rec tds, and punt 3 balls inside the 20?l 14,000 yds passing 77 td passes, 3,000 yds and 38 rush tds?
Shit comp to lamar. Kordell was a very poor mans sammy baugh, sammy baugh is still eons past Stewart seeing how baugh was a 4 down player and played defense.
I get WHY he didn’t want to, but I really wish he would have embraced the slash role. I honestly think the guy could have put up 2k passing/500 rushing/500 receiving every year if he had.
“He recorded 3 interceptions and two fumbles but it wasn’t his fault”😂 all it took was the gay rumors for you to take it easy on him. Dude was a terrible QB. Had nearly 50 interceptions in 3 seasons. He was a great athlete but not even a decent QB. Also weird you didn’t mention he threw more career picks than TD’s
Steve McNair,Vinny Testaverde and rich Gannon are some other great but forgotten qbs
Mike Vick ?

Took the Steelers to two AFC Championship games at home in 97 and 2001.....just couldnt get over the hump to the Big Game.

Should’ve kept Lamar Jackson out of this. Lamar isn’t a Swiss Army Knife. He’s only taken snaps as a quarterback in the NFL.

pocket passers will always reign supreme.

Antwon Jamison please
He just needed consistency. He'd be unstoppable one week and completely unplayable the next.
Rocket Ismail
53.8% completion in his best season. He was average at best athletic yes always did good on a team where defense carried the team
He didnt win the Heisman. Salam won it in 1994.
