This Randall Cunningham A Football Life

[Galvatron]

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.

 

That's possible, but I think the more probable answer is that Cam STILL has not reached his ceiling. And for guys like Kurt Warner, et al., they truly seem to want to have a hand in guiding that development and maturation. Since they aren't coaches, criticizing (some constructively) him is the closest thing they have. Except for Jaws; seriously, screw him.

I guess this dates me, but I played HS football against his brother "Sam Bam" Cunningham. This guy was H Walker/ B Jackson back in the day. He won the Calif. 220 and shot put his senior year in 1968. He went to USC as a fullback, when they were still running backs like Jim Taylor. He was also credited with helping Bear Bryant break the color barrier on the Alabama football team when USC went to Tusgaloosa and blew out the Tide. The next year they recruited their first black player.

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.

Didn't Danny White punt for the cowgirls?

Refugio? El capitan? Gaviota?

Jaws was drafted in 73 and after being traded to Philly in 77 he was the starter until 85-86.  So, after 13 seasons he got injured and was no resigned.  Randell was the new QB but it wasn't like they were two QB's in their prime and Philly went with the running QB.  Jaws was the old vet by then and Randell was the up and coming stud.

 

I've read the last book Jaws wrote and he had a lot of good things to say about Philly and his time there.  I never got the impression he was bitter about running QB's.

Cunningham was an amazing player.  I wish I would have got to see him play more. 

My only real memories are 1998 when the Vikings were tearing the league apart.

I loved watching Cunningham. I always thought he was a great qb. Especially loved using him while playing TECMO BOWL! I would piss off my buddies when I could break long td runs with him :-)
