WHITLOCK - DeBerg is a quarterback guru

Nobody's come close to selling the play action before or since Deberg. If he doesn't want to be a QB coach, at least hire him to come to mini-camps and training camp.

Yup his fake moves and hard count were pretty fun to watch as the teams ran for him and the ball was 10 yards downfield with the running back or watch him get D-linemen to jump offsides.

The play fake is a lost art, and yes DeBerg was the best at it in his time.

But you go back to the 60s and 70s, and guys like Unitas, Bradshaw and Staubaugh were very good at it.

And the one thing that Lenny Dawson did better than anyone else is the play fake.

Dawson was the master.

Everyone else is just a pretender.
