Funny how you should say that when McNabb was a "running back" quarterback in his first what.. four/five years with Philedelphia?

There is nothing wrong with a scrambler at QB. Yes McNabb was/is, so is Culpeper. The difference between Culpeper and McNabb is that they can accuartely hit a moving target down the field, Vick still has problems hitting a target that barely moves. Trust me I see more Atlanta games than I'd ever care to see. I use to believe Vick could turn out to be the QB that changed the league with his arm strength and speed, but that's all he has, he lacks the accuracy to hit targets. Randy Moss and Terrell Owens could be out there and would have a hell of a time making Vick look good. Don't get me wrong Vick's speed has saved this team and brought them many wins, but until he develops his ability as a passer in the category of accuracy, it's just not going to happen. I still hope the guy can put it together, but the more we get into this five years now and he's still not that much better of a passer than he was when he entered the league.
Vick being a 'running qb' has nothing to do with what I was refering to with his passing ability, I would like to see him progress like McNabb and Culpeper did. Not like Aaron Brooks his cousin who still has not. That's the point I was making. I would never state that a 'running qb' couldn't be a top flight passer, because one of my favorite QB's of all time Fran Tarkenton was one and I believe he put up quite a few records in his day!
