ESPN Magazine A-11 Article

[daggo66]

What a foolish article. It mentions that the A-11 is not legal in the NFL and probably never will be. Why give it such prominence in the article. I also question the numbers that "hundreds" of high schools are using it. It mentions the inovation of having 2 QBs. Where the heck has this guy been? The Dolphins used 2 QBs back in the 70's. I can't remember his name but they had a receiver who had been a QB in college and used to run an option with him throwing the ball. My take on this is that sales are low and Kurt is trying to make a few bucks for Christmass so he managed to work his con game on a writer for ESPN.

Jim Jensen? Was a QB at Boston U? Played for the Dolphins from 1981-1992 and threw exactly 7 passes in his NFL career.

Of course, the "other" quarterback for all but two of those years was that Marino guy.

That's the guy! Thanks. Naturally they didn't have to go to it often with all of their other weapons. I just wanted to point out that it wasn't a new concept.
