Yes, he kept running some. So will RGIII.

But in 1998 he led the Vikes to a new season record for points scored (breaking the record of the '83 Skins) and was primarily a pocket passer in doing so. Go back and watch tape of Cunningham throwing to Moss and Carter - he was primarily a pocket passer.

My point was not to tout Cunningham - my point was that anything he could do, RGIII could do better.

That was the only really successful year he had when he was not running the ball alot.

Why does running the ball take away what he did as a passer? He was an incredible dual threat QB.

He threw for almost 30,000 yards and over 200 TDs. And that was before the league became pass happy like it is today.
