Vick: QB or RB?

Michael Vick is the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, and on Sunday he has is third 100-yard rushing game this year, his fifth in his three year career. The Falcons are trying to get Vick to stay in the pocket and throw the ball. At the same time, they want to win, and Vick is one of the worst passers in the NFL (if not the worst). So, they are letting "Vick be Vick." Mike had 15 rushes on Sunday, and only 12 pass completions. It doesn't look like Atlanta is succeeding in turning him into a pocket QB.

[In my mind, Vick isn't even a quarterback, he is a running back that takes the snap from the center. I've been saying this to my friends and such ever since Vick came into the league.] He has more rushing years (640 yards) than a lot of the halfbacks in the NFL. At this rate, he will be the first quarterback ever to rush for 100 yards in a season, a accomplishment that many running backs never reach. [Michael Vick is NOT a Quarterback!]
