Since drafting Justin Fields in 2021 the Bears are 6-25 when he starts and 6-7 when the backup starts. (alien.top)

The bears now have as many wins in 13 games using a backup QB as they do in 31 games when Fields starts. People keep talking about how bad the rest of the roster is (which is true) but it's crazy how other guys have somehow managed to get it done.

Is there any precedent to a QB that runs so well (but wasn't a successful QB) transitioning to being a RB? Seems like if he doesn't stick in the league as a QB, he could excel as an RB and keep the defense guessing with gadget plays. And no, I haven't watched enough of Fields to be judging him as a QB, just asking a more general question if this has happened before.
