Vick is the highest rated Quarterback in the NFC South, (if you include rushing).

It's also kind of dumb because while a team usually has only one guy out of 11 on offense who is a decent passer, others can run the ball effectively -- Mike Vick's running yards come at some cost to his RBs and even WRs. Drew Brees' passing does not come at a cost to Reggie Bush's passing (as we saw against the Ravens).


But a QB who is a legitimate scrambling threat and can freeze the LBs isn't taking anything away from anyone, and in fact he's opening up additional little slivers of opportunity in the short game, and making it a little riskier to play man if you can take off for 25 yards when everyone's back is turned.

It's like good and bad fielding pitchers; a lousy fielding pitcher who throws the ball down the right field line on a bunt doesn't get charged for earned runs; why not?
