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.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
