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.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
