Randall Cunningham, Michael Vick, Roger Staubach, Aaron Rodgers. I think you can be a scrambler and have a long career, so long as your first instinct is to step up in the pocket. But you can’t last if they make you one of the running backs, and that’s what read option does.

Correct. The Carolina Panthers are attempting to make a pocket-passer out of their read-option QB, the world's largest 10 year-old, Cam Newton.

Good luck with that, Carolina.

I think FredZarguna’s post said it best, but I know what you mean. Many quarterbacks run because they can’t read, but talent can look downfield while they run.

Randall actually made the transition to being an (almost) pure pocket passer late in this career. His best season as a QB was with the MiniVikes.
