🧬 THE EVOLUTION OF THE RUNNING QB 🧬
The noise got louder with Tarkenton — back when QBs were told never to leave the pocket unless they were fleeing a wildfire.
But Fran ran anyway. He moved. He scrambled. He changed the game.
Then came a wave…
Staubach ducked blitzers. Cunningham soared. Vick blurred. Cam bulldozed.
And now?
⚡ Lamar Jackson is the poster child.
He’s not just a quarterback who can run — he’s a runner who happens to throw 60-yard lasers on the move.
What used to be a gimmick is now the blueprint.
What started as defiance… is now dominance.
👟 The Running QB is no longer the exception.
🔥 He’s the expectation.
