I remember when Randall Cunningham was QB of the Eagles the sports press declared that the running QB was the wave of the future.

Joe Namath was interviewed about it. He said... and I paraphrase:

"When you're in a championship game against a really good defense there are a handful of critical points that determine the game. When you are 3rd and 12. The defense knows you're not gonna run. You know you're not gonna run. You have to drop back, step up into the pocket and deliver the ball down the field. The QBs that can make that play consistently win Super bowls regardless of their ability to run."
