BOOOYAH!!! VICK IS GONE

Why does everyone keep talking about how a QB can\'t run around like that and not expect to get hurt? Of course he can. Vick is 6-0, 215. Throw 10 pounds on him and he\'s bigger than the average starting runningback in the NFL. Barry Sanders was MUCH smaller and made the same kinds of moves and if he hadn\'t retired we\'d all be saying Emmitt who right now.

Shaun Alexander 5-11 225
Tiki Barber 5-10 200
Michael Bennet 5-9 209
Trung Candidate 5-11 205
Corey Dillion 6-1 225
Warrick Dunn 5-9 180
Kevin Faulk 5-8 202
Marshall Faulk 5-10 211
Olandis Gary 5-11 218
Garrison Hearst 5-11 215
Travis Henry 5-9 215
Priest Holmes 5-9 213
Edgerrin James 6-0 214
Curtis Martin 5-11 205
Deuce McAllister 6-1 221
Michael Pitman 6-0 218
Clinton Portis 5-11 205
Emmitt Smith 5-10 221
LaDainian Tomlinosn 5-10 221

Almost all of your Pro Bowl caliber runningbacks are in that list and you\'ll see there really isn\'t a guy much more than 5-7 pound heavier than Vick. If these guys can carry the ball 30 times a game, why can\'t Vick? It was a freak accident. He got hurt just the same as Priest Holmes got hurt... and Holmes got hurt much worse and is only 5-9 213. Where were you guys last year when he got hurt? Why didn\'t I hear then that Priest just couldn\'t expect to run like that and not get hurt?
