Out of all the QB's listed, only 1 WAS a running QB. Mcnabb. I consider a running QB a guy that averages over 400 yards running a season. The rest of the guys were pocket passers first and scramblers. There is a difference. Mcnabb didn't get to the superbowl until the year he had under 300 yards rushing.
Vick and Culpepper are the only running QBS in the league anymore. What do I mean by this? When the pocket collapses, they tuck the ball and run....not attempting to find a receiver. The guys you listed will scramble, but still wait till the last possible minute to tuck and run. Vince young isn't a scrambling QB. He is a running QB. 3 step drop, no one open, tuck and run. NO qb has been to the superbowl while following this regiment and style of play. Prove me wrong. show me a QB with more than 400 yards rushing in a season that has been to the big dance.
Vince young averaged 900 yards rushing per season in college. He only had 1 season where he passed for more than 2000 yards. Not exactly impressive...........when it comes to throwing the ball.
