But what about qb's Steve Young and Randall Cunningham, who were both drafted a mere decade-and-a-half prior to either of the aforementioned?

but that doesn't mean it was cool.. Young and Cunningham were outliers, and running QB's were not valued as they are today. Fran Tarkenton was the best of his era, but he was running away from sacks, not running as an effective other Running Back, as good-running QB's are in today's game.
I fully expect you to disagree with me, so have at it
