EarnedStripes44 , you've picked a handful of positive stats from years of Vick's playing days, including college. Come on, college stats do not count in the NFL. His NFL stats are not good as compared to other starting QB's in the league. Yes, he can run for a lot of yards.....but QB's are not supposed to run, they are supposed to be able to throw an accurate pass. And to your point about running yards not being part of the QB rating, you are correct. That is because the QB rating is also called the "Passer Rating", which means that it is about being a good passer, not runner. He is a great athlete and exciting runner. But, as a quarterback, he just stinks. He will never live up to the hype, and he is a punk just like his felon brother. Good luck to Joey Harrington on his new position as starting QB for the Falcons.
