I am a simple person. We saw McNabb evelove into a pocket passer and the lack of scrambling may have hurt his game. I know this can be argued, but Reid worked to convert McNabb from running to one that ran as a last resort.
Is the same thing happending with Vick? He seems to be less inclined to run the ball and, I believe, as a result, is being injured more. OK, someone is going to tell me he hurt himself last year scrambling. But, this year, his injuries with that line are in the pocket. I have always wondered why a QB with his talents would be healthier being brought down by 300 lb lineman vs. a DB or smaller LB. It just seems counter productive to limit one of his biggest skills and plays into the hands of the D. If he is running, it forces the line to hold their rush a little and forces them to manage the line vs. what we are seeing. I don't know. Like I said, I am simple in my thoughts.
