If you have ever wondered why Ron Jaworski refuses to give Cam credit for what he adds to the running game, watch this A Football Life.

 

Jaworski was replaced on third downs by Randall Cunningham. Eventually Randall permanently replaced him. They talk a ton about how Randall did not pass from the pocket, he was a scrambler unlike any before him.

 

Just watching this you can see the jealousy and anger Jaws must have felt. You can see why and how he despised the running QB. His career was ended by the emergence of Randall.

I'm not so sure he was the first but he was damn good at it.

There was Kenny Stabler, Fran Tarkenton, hell even the original Manning was a mobile QB.

 

Yeah, Cunningham definitely wasn't the first.  Tarkenton ran around a lot (Merlin Olsen once griped about how much he hated chasing him).  Staubach was pretty athletic too.

 

You could argue Cunningham was the best runner to date.

How does he feel about RG III? I find it funny that Cam has to learn to be a pocket pass in order to be seen as a viable QB according to the so called experts, but RG, Russell and Colin are allowed to run as much as they please.

 

Anyway, I keep telling you folks that those guys are simply told what to say about these players by TPTB in the sports media. Every ex-QB who works for any of the popular sports network, seems to enjoy criticizing Cam.

I was born in Philly was a die hard Eagles fan and I loved Randall he was the 1st scrambling QB..

he is the only QB that I know to punt in a game he played QB and holds a record for it.

He holds the record, but it still happens from time to time.

Brady did it not too long ago.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
