I am Always so Blessed to see him play as a Quarterback Professor when he firt entered Pro Football League and Coach Eddie Robinson The greatest Coach both Representing Louisiana be Blessed ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
People were already calling Jayden Daniels to "A Young Doug Williams" after that Monday Night Game against the Bengals. Doug was taller, built a lot more "sturdy" I want to say. His arm is also considerably stronger. It looks like he stole that from Terry Bradshaw or something. Jayden's got a quality Arm but good lord. Jayden is a lot faster and quicker. His footwork is better. His passes are also fly with a considerably tighter spiral on a more consistent basis. There are similarities beyond skin color though.
Not sure if Can agree he was the worlds greatest, He did step up and improve teams after he got under center though. Even when having bad day passing (87 playoffs before SB) he kept his cool and didn't let the team fall apart. There is more to being a great QB than statistics and numbers. I was so glad Doug Williams was on my Redskins because he stepped up when we needed it the most.
He wasn’t even the best qb in the league in ‘87. I can think of at least 7 qb’s who were better at that time. He played very well at different points in his career. Why these idiots have to try and exaggerate that to the point that they’re calling him greatest qb ever or HOF caliber is difficult to understand.
@@MaximusWolfe I believe he lost every game he started in 1987 if you consider the playoff games were all in 1988. He just had big relief wins when Schroeder was having an attitude problem (or so I am told, hard to tell that from home on the couch) or when he was injured.
@@johnliberty3647 Yes, and he was also awful in 1988 during regular season. But yeah, greatest qb ever and if you disagree you’re a racist. Haha. Such inane argumentation.
@@MaximusWolfe If someone calls me a racist because I do not react to someones race it is fine by me, it's their racism. I see everyone as human. Let the commies call that a microaggression. As a Redskins fan I am glad we had Doug Williams on the team and I am glad he stepped up at the perfect time.
@@johnliberty3647 Same here. Was a big Doug fan after how he played in that game. Was disappointed when he played so erratically the following season. These morons think anytime you don’t disproportionately flatter famous black people it’s because you have it out for them on the basis of ethnicity. In reality the true injustice would be to diminish the greatness of white athletes just to pull those of dubious greatness up to their level on the basis of victimhood. Doug won a super bowl (in large part because his teammates, white and black, overcame his terrible performance in the NFC championship game). He is remembered for that fondly and deservedly do. But for professional victims such logic is anathema. For them the important thing is that blacks are never honestly evaluated (lest such scrutiny prove revealing and unbecoming) while every conceivable flaw in a white athlete is enlarged, exaggerated or brought to fore to make room for black greatness. This why Warren Moon is in the hall of fame. The man never even played in a conference championship game and was awful in the playoffs year after year but gets in before Ken Stabler (Stabler was arguably the premier qb of the 70’s and won a super bowl but had to die to get in while Moon gets in by virtue of big stats and his ethnicity). Again, Moon was a very talented qb but his resume for the hof is dubious at best.
C'mon, man. You couldn't squeeze in the '81 season finale's 84-yard TD to Kevin House at Detroit or the mid-season 77-yard TD toasting of famed Raiders corner Lester Hayes?
Haha great call great - you are a true fan...no, I couldn't, I apologize, but that's why I created Part 2. Hope you enjoy and thank you for watching! ruclips.net/video/hcgjlVYImGY/видео.html
Joseph Wright I saw footage of Hayes getting toasted by House on that play.I thought Doug was trying to find someone else on that play.even further down the field.
@@dwightlove3704 You are a phenomenal fan, Hail to you! will try and get a Williams to House collection together one day soon. House far better than OBJ, don't you think?
Not the greatest but as an early Bucs fan, I loved him. McKay was useless w/out 2 I- Backs. Lost Anthony Davis , leaving Ricky Bell. Owen's couldnt catch til Doug Williams. Owen's had speed but weak hands...arm caught Doug William's.
I wished that Tampa Bay had drafted Cris Collinsworth and teamed with Williams it would have been history seeing a BLACK QB teaming up with a WHITE WR.
“Who says Doug Williams is a low percentage passer?” His career statistics, that’s who. He has a 49% career completion rate. In two NFC championship games (‘79, ‘87) Williams went 11-39 (28.1%). That not just bad it’s dreadful.
Funny and I can't disagree. Sammy Baugh threw more INTs than TD's... Mr. Williams took hapless Bucs to NFC champ game (despite awful team & "conditions"), then sealed deal for Redskins with perhaps greatest quarter/game ever payed by any QB, "black, green, yellow or purple". Games leading up to that were even "inconsistent" but what he accomplished can't be denied. So, in that regard, his completion percentage is 100%. (imo). Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@nflxfiles Namath&Bradshaw have more career Interceptions but what are they remembered for those Super Bowl titles and nobody in New York or Pittsburgh complained about the balls they threw.
No, sorry, Doug had accuracy issues from day 1. He could throw the ball to Mars at light speed but was totally erratic when it came to touch passes which left points off the board too often to make him a consistent starting qb at that level. This large flaw cost him his starting job in ‘88 and consigned him bench warmer status by ‘89. There is no way he deserves an HOF nod or even consideration. While he played very well in the Super Bowl it’s easy to forget that he played a woeful game against Minnesota in the NFC championship 2 weeks before. In fact, if you roll back the tape on the Super Bowl itself you will see that the true MVP was the Redskins o-line which gave Doug hours to throw and a pocket so perfect that you could sell it for real estate, to say nothing of how effective the play action was because that same o-line was opening lanes for Timmy Smith you could drive a semi through with room to spare. Jeff Bostic, Joe Jacoby, Raleigh McKenzie, Don Warren, Russ Grimm and Mark May will always be the actual MVP’s but weren’t sexy enough to get the nod. To even mention Doug in the same breath as Sammy Baugh or Joe Namath is laughable. Baugh played both sides of the ball and is still the best punter in league history all while revolutionizing the passing game as a truly vertical weapon. Namath was probably the greatest pure passer the game has ever seen not named Sonny Jugensen but was riddled with catastrophic leg injuries that severely effected all of his stats after 1970. By contradistinction, Doug was just flat out inconsistent. Gibbs ability to get the absolute best out of otherwise journeyman qb’s is unparalleled, a fact that will always keep him the best coach ever conversation.
Still won a SB and set multiple records - with much less talent around him too. Funny how you throw shade on a record-setting NFL QB. Why is that? What's different about him?
@@Ezees23 Throw shade? Keep your lame ass colloquialisms to your self. Yeah, he accomplished a lot. Never denied it. I said exactly what I said. Every word is true. Good but not great is quite accurate. A sub 50% completion rate speaks for itself. I tell it like it is. Take it or leave it. Did Doug ask you to be his defender? Bottom line is I don’t like hype. Williams isn’t in the top 70 greatest NFL qb’s. That’s a fact. Cope with it.
@@thegreatcat2095 Yeah, he was good but great is going too far. Fact is, the Redskins won that NFC championship against the Vikings to go to the superbowl IN SPITE of Doug’s woeful performance. I think he had 11 or 12 strait incompletions in that game at one point. People talk about the super bowl performance quite a bit, however if you objectively watch that game it’s simply undeniable that almost any quarterback at that level would have excelled given the ridiculous amount of time and perfect pocket Doug enjoyed from the start of the second quarter onward. He played well, don’t get me wrong, but Jacoby, May, Bostic, McKenzie, Grimm and Theilemen were the true MVP’s. Not only did they give Williams weeks to scan the field but they opened running lanes for Timmy Smith you could float an aircraft carrier through, which is why that flashpan rb set a Super Bowl record for yards. It’s also why Doug’s play action was so effective and the safeties were crowding the live of scrimmage.
Doug Williams throwing passes to Jimmie Giles and Kevin House was fire.
Still can’t believe that LA game. Nothing went right that day.
Fun Fact Doug was the only QB taken in the first round of the '78 draft.
Doug Williams was known for his tremendous rocket throwing arm who could also allegedly throw the ball from end zone to end zone in the air.
Williams had a majestic throwing motion
Certainly my favorite QB
Those uniforms! 🧡
I have THROWBACK JERSEYS for Tampa those CREAM SICKLE JERSEYS
Like the creamsicles
3:09 first qb to throw the shovel in the grasp,doug W threw the prettiest ball ever
Omg the football looks like a nerf ball in his hands.
Great QB , better person
Old school Bucs gear. 👍🏼🔮
0:12 Pete Rozell.. he didnt wanna say DOUG WILLIAMS of GRAMBLING .. cuz he smacked his lips.. but he HAD TO SAY IT
Well he had no choice
No not the world's Greatest, but yes Great.
A solid pro qb (which is itself a huge accomplishment), nothing more.
Still can’t believe that LA game. Nothing went right that day.

damn, that arm.
At 2:24....The Greatest TD pass ever thrown...from the SITTING POSITION?! C'mon man! NO ONE has ever done that!!
You saw history being made
its crazy I went to college with Doug- I was a Freshman...
We don't care
Forse il QB che si è avvicinato più di tutti al talento di Tom Brady,per quanto riguarda i bucs.
Brady could not touch Williams in terms of talent.
C'mon, man. You couldn't squeeze in the '81 season finale's 84-yard TD to Kevin House at Detroit or the mid-season 77-yard TD toasting of famed Raiders corner Lester Hayes?
