Granted, Jim McMahon runs better than Steve Fuller, but have you ever
seen a quarterback roll out to the left, that is, a quarterback that
was right-handed roll out to the left as well as Steve Fuller.  It
seems to be a favorite play of he Bears offence to have Fuller roll
out (sprint out) to the left and throw it to a tight-end.

It is somewhat ironic that the Bears are succeeding with Steve Fuller
just as the 1972 Miami Dolphins succeeded with their back-up
quarterback Earl Morral (sp).  I suppose what I am really trying to
get at is that in a very effective offensive scheme any component can
be replaced.
