I wish I was around to see Randall Cunningham as a rookie. I haven't really watched many games from that era but I understand they had a scheme where they'd put him in as QB on every 3rd down, to mess with defensive tempo and just generally increase the chaos factor? It's a dumb idea but a cool idea, it would be fun to see special plays drawn up that actually feature a backup quarterback for some reason, as if they had a particular skill that was better than the regular QB. Alas, putting your best player in the game every time seems to be the optimal strategy.

Cool, thanks for the Randall write-up. I knew about a little bit culturally and from video games (touchdown QB eagles!) but it sounds like he may have helped pave the way for more black quarterbacks and normalizing the concept of QB run as a constant threat.
