No. 7: Randall Cunningham – Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings

Regular Season Record: 82-52-1
Postseason Record: 3-6

Randall Cunningham was one of the first dual-threat, multi-purpose quarterbacks in the league. He could beat you with his cannon arm, with his nimble legs…heck, the guy even punted the ball better than most NFL punters.

A four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro, Cunningham was one of the most exciting players to watch during his time. He was like Michael Vick with an accurate arm, amassing 29,979 yards and 207 touchdowns.

But talk about your Jekyll and Hyde acts, Cunningham’s near 60 percent completion clip dipped down to 52 percent in the playoffs, and during his first three Eagles playoff performances, he was an interception machine, throwing five picks against zero touchdowns.

We’ll give him credit for getting better with age in the playoffs, as he went 2-2 as the Vikings postseason starter.
