>>Its a fools game to rely on a running QB.

It's an added threat and dimension to the offense. But, it also sets the QB up to get injured...

Most QB injuries occur in the pocket...............Name me one so called running QB who has been seriously injured on the run.

That said, here's an example of one running QB (Randall Cunningham) who had two season ending injuries and both occurred in the pocket

Opening Day 1991 against the Pack in Milwaukee (i.e. Bryce Paup)
1993 at the Vet against the Jets

McNabb ran more against the Giants that he has against any team all year. He would prefer to win with his arm which he has but he would be a fool if he didn't use his God given talent when the situation allows.

Believe me if Favre had McNabbs athletic ability, he'd run more often as well.

Eagles aren't playing Mcnabb right.He is running way too much

Hmmmm, boy what an intelligent statement that is (LMAO). The man is built to be a running back and just happens to be smart, has a talent for reading defenses, and can throw a ball 50-70 yards. Ya, stay in the pocket and take hits, boy aren't we the intelligent one! Btw (by the way that is for the reading challenged) if you would have watched the game you would have noticed Duce Staley (a running back on the Eagles if you didn't know) was named player of the game with 126 yards rushing. He had a bigger running game than McNabb. Like I said you need football 101 rookie!
