The injuries speak for themselves. It's great to have a playmaker when all else fails, but that playmaking obviously becomes useless if the playmaker is sitting on the bench.

This is true. QB's whose running is their best (or only) quality just don't win Super Bowls. Runners (like Staubach, Elway or Bradshaw) eventually have to settle down and become pocket passers. They use their running ability to be elusive if the pocket breaks down. But they don't just take off at the slightest provocation.

Michael Vick is a phenomenon. He's like Deion Sanders throwing the ball. If anyone could run their team to victory, it's him. But I predict even he'll have to become a pocket passer before its all said and done.

Very true, and even in spite of what he did to us last year I like Michael Vick. When a player makes you pull your hair out (like McNabb did to us last week) then he's doing something right and deserves a modicum of respect.
