Uh, yes. Read the article

And it actually goes further back than that.

Tom Flores called his own plays and so did his QBs.

Or maybe you've heard of Jim Kelly

quote:
With great blocking from his offensive line, Kelly was given the time to pick his receivers and get creative behind the line of scrimmage. He was also given the option to make up plays on the run. The no-huddle offense allowed Kelly to call the shots on the fly. "I'm the only quarterback who calls his own plays," he said. "But that's the way I like it. I enjoy it - that's part of football. I'm the one on the field and I know what plays I like. Any person, be it a football or basketball player, likes to be in control, to be the pivot guy. And in our offense, I feel I'm the pivot guy or point guard. I can do anything I want.

quote:
“Marv Levy let Jim Kelly call his own plays,” said the former offensive coordinator.

“He ran the up-tempo, no-huddle ‘K-Gun’ from a single personnel grouping. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are the last two QBs who do that.”

A big reason Manning is a fan favorite, even if fans don’t realize it, is he always has called his own plays. He’s a throwback. He is not a joy stick.
