It isn't curious at all. Those guys you listed are all pocket passers.
The guys McNabb listed were all known for their scrambling ability.

Tarkenton played for the Vikings from 1961 to 1966, during this time he developed the nickname "Fran the Scrambler" as he ran around the backfield to avoid being sacked by the opposition (this behavior also led to the nickname "Frantic Fran" and the "Wee One").

Edit: I'm not old enough to remember him playing - I remember him from the TV show "That's Incredible"
