Obviously did not say there wasn't. Not to mention Tarkenton, Wright, Ware, Hostetler, Staubach.
This is probably the biggest generalization I see everyone make (like when people generalize Barry Sanders did not have a good Oline), DT's in the old days were not much bigger than the QB's and were very fast, even today's lineman like Strahan, Umeniyora, Sapp and John Randle are quick enough to run down QB's from behind. The reason being is that in "game conditions" when a QB runs he runs with hesitation unless there is a lane to the endzone or the sideline. Other than that QB's do not put their heads down and just slam in there with total disreguard as a back would do. The difference in the video games is that there is no punishment for making your QB a runningback. Vick lost several games for being a Runningback, so did Cunningham, they get injured or hurt enough to where throwing the ball with accuracy is hampered because of the hits they take, thus causing them to run with caution. In the video game no one runs the QB with caution cause they have no fear of getting hurt or losing some accuracy due to getting hit hard on the arm or something. He doesn't have to be injured just hurt enough to where his throwing is effected. Until they make more types of injuries that effect players from certain hits that they take effecting their performance and not just the "total out of lineup injury" then their take is quite effective actually. Like I said there is no risk with QB running as it is in real life.

I disagree. I watch tons of football and I am sure you do to. Watch next game a QB takes off it does not matter if he is running right up the gut. He will run all out and
SLIDE once contact is about to happen. But they won't run half speed because they are SCARED. They been playing this game their whole life. They know what football is and how to keep themselves in tact so they can finish the season, BUT they are also trying to win ball games. If a QB takes off I don't care if it is Peyton Manning, he will run all out and either run out of bounds or SLIDE before contact. BUT they will do everything in there power to get the most out of it.
I think you are confusing a QB, scrambling out the pocket LOOKING to throw first and is still not sure to take off. I am refering strickly to the speed of the QBs in this game that running to pick up yards or get FIRST DOWN. By the way you sound they are made of glass.
Oh and you said "Running in this game has no negative effect". I call BS. Take a NON scrambling QB and roll out the pocket and throw the ball on the run. It will not even be close to on target. Now take cunninham and do the same thing and it will be pretty decent. Also, I have seen more fumbles by QB's in this game than anything else. Last game I played I saw 2 fumbles from sacking the QB. So there is a RISK of running the QB. The ONLY issue is the SPEED of the QB.
