BOOOYAH!!! VICK IS GONE

I guess I mostly agree with WhoDat on this one. Even if he hasn\'t learned to run like a RB, he normally won\'t have to run straight against a defensive lineman. He has the size to sustain a collision with a LB, his feet are what makes him special. A blindside hit by a defensive end is more likely to get him injured than a tackle by a safety.
On the other hand the five times he scambles with the ball in a game instead of throwing it away are five more opportunities to get hurt. With a normal QB you don\'t want him to take that chance for the extra 2 yards. But if it\'s an extra 10 or 15 yards things look different.
Is there a higher probability he will get hurt when he runs the ball because he doesn\'t have the technique? Yes. Does that mean he should become a pocket passer? No. This would take away his advantage.
He will continue to cut through defenses and, yes, he will probably get hurt again. But his scrambling gives the Falcons the best chance to win, if he plays it save he will just be ordinary.
