It is obvious that you do not care what the numbers say.
I see also that you were a child when Cunningham came into the league, so perhaps you should defer to people who actually saw both play. In Cunningham's prime he was as dangerous a runner as any QB ever. Ask anyone that actually saw him hurdle defenders and make entire teams miss.
Because I wasn't a grown man during Cunningham's career, I couldn't have seen Cunningham play?? And if I did, I couldn't possibly have been able to properly comprehend what I was seeing?? I remember that badass 1990 season. And I remember when Cunningham tore up his knee in the first game of the '91 season because his coaches told him to stay in the pocket, and the interview thereafter in which he vowed never to change his game again. Football has been a passion from a very early age. And because of it, I was able to see Cunningham in his prime. :up:
I saw Cunningham more than I've seen Vick (in the pros). He was a phenomenal runner. I saw him hurdle defenders, cutback, escape, and make things happen. He still is one of my favorite players of all time (and one big reason why I searched out an emulated Tecmo Bowl game for my computer last year. :tongue: ). There probably wasn't a better running QB to ever hit the league, until now. I just feel that Vick is an even more talented runner.
