Norman Snead says hello, chuckling the whole time.
Norm Snead was an outstanding quarterback and ahead of his time. During an era of relatively little passing, Snead put up outstanding numbers through the air, and enjoyed a successful collegiate and long-spanning professional career.
At Wake Forest, Snead was one of the best players in the country. Snead was an All-ACC selection three times along with an All-America selection in 1960. In 1959, Snead was fifth in the nation for total offense and fourth in total offense in 1960. His season year numbers of 123 completions out of 259 attempts for 1,675 yards and 10 TDs made him the second leading passer in the nation.
Snead played for five teams during a 15-year career. He was the second overall selection in the 1961 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, for whom he played for three seasons. (He was also selected by the Buffalo Bills in the fifth round, 35th overall, in the 1961 AFL Draft.) Snead then went on to play in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles (1964-70), Minnesota Vikings (1971), New York Giants (1972-74, 1976) and San Francisco 49ers (1974-75).
Snead was a four-time Pro Bowl selection in 1963, 1963, 1965 and 1972. He passed for 30,797 yards in his career, with 196 TDs. He led the NFL in completion percentage (.603) in 1972. Two years later, he became only the seventh quarterback in NFL history to complete 60 percent or more of his passes in three different seasons.
Norm Snead was inducted into the WFU Sports Hall of Fame in 1977.
Sam didn’t have the baptism of fire that John did his first couple seasons. Sam came on to a much more loaded team. Riley had a better defense than Sam does, which means he didn’t have to put up such high numbers to win. I like Sam, I think he is doing a good job with some good receivers in an offense that works for him and that he has had 4 years to figure out. If Sam’s 5th season is anything like this, I don’t know if he stays for a 6th year.
My memories of John are him running for his life and then making something happen, while Sam seems so much more calm in the pocket. Two different QBs, lucky to have had both. Sam may be a better draft prospect though.
Not sure if Roberson would look to test the waters after this year but if everyone returns and stays healthy our offense will be SILLY next year. Greene/Roberson/Perry/K Williams at wideout plus the three deep RB position with Ellison looking like a potential star.
