Put a cape on that man!

I have one good reason for Drew not to run...the 2011 Colts!

He has patience and a plethora of receiving options at his disposal...

There were a couple of times I'd liked to have seen him run, if not to keep the defense honest and freeze a defender/spy in his place...

But I'm not going to split hairs on a top 3 QB whose playing in the new Golden Age of Passing...

He's not Vince Young. He's a quarterback.

My guess is you've heard just about enough of all the Vince Young worship you can stand living in Texas.

Nice shot man.

He got his shoulder ripped up in San Diego. So there is probably a reason why.

He's not scared. One of the reasons that Drew doesn't run the ball more is because he is a master of pocket awareness and elusiveness. He will slide a few steps left or right. He steps up or does actually run on a roll out. This and his incredible receiving options means he almost never needs to run.

He's tremendous in the pocket. And I see him more as a pocket guy. He's not Michael Vick or Cam Newton. He's not the type to run around a lot. But with the weapons they have and pocket presense he has why not just stay put in the pocket?
