BOOOYAH!!! VICK IS GONE

So Vick is a QB and therefore doesn\'t know how to run huh? Name me a QB in recent history that ran for more yards in a season then Vick did last year.

I seem to remember everyone saying the SAME thing about Cunningham when he was an Eagle. People said Barry Sanders would get killed. \"You can\'t be that little and make those kinds of moves....\"

What you guys don\'t understand is that when Vick leaves the pocket he\'s usually facing players in the secondary - guys his size - or linebackers. I just don\'t understand it. We know Vick can run. Are you telling me if they changed him to runningback and let him carry the ball up the middle or off tackle 30 times he\'d be OK b/c then he\'d be a runningback? Or are you going to say that he \"doesn\'t know how to run like a runningback\"???

Bottom line - it\'s harder to be a QB than a runningback. Vick can run like a runningback but a runningback can\'t throw like he can. Sure I knew he\'d get hurt sooner or later, but that doesn\'t mean that he\'s going to stop running or that he should. Deuce got hurt, should he stop? What about Holmes? Edgerrin? Name a big time player who touches the ball 30 times a game who hasn\'t been hurt in his career.

Peyton Manning broke his jaw standing in the pocket - should he start running? B/c standing back there he\'s nothing but a target, right? Every quarterback is a target. Vick will end up just like Elway, or Young - one of the best scrambling quarterback\'s in history. That\'s his type of play and he won\'t and shouldn\'t stop doing that.
