QBs who also Punted
-
While trolling along that information superhighway, I came along Danny White...a former QB of the Cowboys and once upon a time, my favorite QB. I knew he was a punter as well, and actually kept the starting punter job after he got the starting QB nod.
Knowing this, I looked for other QBs who have done it at the same time. I didn't find any. Yeah, Randall Cunningham once made a 91 yard punt, and yeah, Tom Brady has done it once or twice, but I'm talking about being a starter at both. 2 have come (kinda) close
Tom Tupa: Not a good QB, but a very good punter. Did go 6-11 in like 1996 but he wasn't the starter. Sounded like either a mopup game or a game when they had injuries.
George Blanda: He gets a mention not because he was a punter, but he was a starting QB and a starting kicker. He did punt 22 times.
P.S. Just found out Terry Bradshaw punted 8 times and John Elway punted 7 times.

I was just about to mention the John Elway thing since that happened more than once in my recollection.

It's pretty hard to find any QBs who have done much of anything else, let alone punt!! I guess that makes Danny White pretty special.
Kordell Steward (who I was a big fan of also) did the whole RB, WR thing and that was cool! Can you imagine him in a present day wide open offense? I thing it would be exciting .
