How many running QB's, even marginal runners, have really impacted the game beyond the regular season. Only couple I can really think of; Rogers and Steve Young, who took some serious beatings in his day. Brees could take off more but why when you have the most accurate QB in the NFL. Let Cam and Tebow keep running around like that...it almost always ends the same way; serious injury.

The the "threat of the run", can change the way a defense plays against you. Im not saying he needs to run everytime he touches the ball, you guys are missing my point. There were times this year, where we were say 3rd and 5, NO ONE gets open, and instead of running for it, he either a. Threw into triple coverage, b. Tried to force it to a covered receiver, or c. Threw it away. With our defense what it was, punting was a bad idea. There were even a couple of these instances in the Niners game.

Drew is not a big physical guy like Rodgers and some of the other QB's. If the field is open enough he should run and utilize his baseball skills and slide but if the field isn't open just do the Peyton Manning and go down. We don't need him taking big hits.

Of course Brees can run. But why run when he can fly?
