I was in 2nd grade when Bobby Douglass gained 968 yards in a 14-game season in 1972 ...... if there was a 16-game schedule back then, Douglass certainly would have been the first QB ever to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season ...... something that would not be accomplished for 34 more years, when Michael Vick of the Atlanta Falcons finally did it with 1,039 yards in 2006.



MAJOR IRONY: l In 1978, the Colts were considering signing Bobby Douglass when Bert Jones went down with a shoulder injury in the final pre-season game against the Detroit Lions ...... instead, Douglass was signed by the Green Bay Packers, where he finished his career as a back-up that season to David Whitehurst when Lynn Dickey was out with a broken leg.
