Vick's such a jackass, why would he just dismiss this out of hand if it would or could help the team. Here's the quote, "I'm a quarterback, I don't play running back," Vick said. "I'm going to leave it at that. That's not what I do. I throw the football, not run it."
First off, hello, the majority of the great plays you have are the ones where you do run the football. Two, I don't think anybody is suggesting you line up on fourth and one and hammer it into the line. It would be about getting you in space like Westbrook or Reggie Bush perhaps with the option of still throwing it. Third, having both you and Schaub on the field at the same time creates a nightmare matchup problem for other teams because you have a cannon for an arm and Schaub is no slouch himself. Fourth, nobody is saying it would be every down.
Fifth, and maybe this is all that needs to be said, you're a selfish idiot. It boggles my mind why you would shoot this down. Even if you had no intention of doing it, why admit it. If you let the rumor swirl the Cowboys have to prepare for it--and how the hell do they prepare for it?
This team may be down to like it's sixth string running back and for Ron Mexico it's still all about him, and better still, he's still got the organization enabling him at every turn.
I also like his 'gesture' of dedicating this game to the fans. He promsed to go out and give 100% for the fans this week, ""I'm going to give them 100 percent effort, everything I've got." So, wait, what have you been giving them up until then?
Oh, Ron, you kill me sometimes.
