Michael Vick holds the NFL rushing record for QBs


at 6,100 yards. Which prolly would have been 7,000 had he not spent two years in prison in his prime years. Second place on the NFL rushing list for QBs is 3,700 yards (Randall Cunningham I believe), fully 2,400 yards behind Vick, or 33% behind Vick. Good Lord, people, Lamar jackson will never approach that feat. Period. No reasonable second place discussion. Vick ran a 4.29 40 yard dash. I guarantee Jackson can't run close to 4.29. Except for sacks and being caught behind the line of scrimmage, Vick was not hit and therefore was rarely injured from tackles. All that downfield yardage Vick got he invariably was run out of bounds. I remember he scored on the last play of the half once and ran up the tunnel to the locker room, just like Forrest Gump did for Bear Bryant.

Look, I despise Bobby Petrino and Louisville as much as anyone. Even if I loved 'em I'd honestly say Lamar Jackson is no Michael Vick. No one is. Jackson will play in the NFL, but seriously, Vick would eat pancakes off the top of Jackson's head. I have never seen Jackson have long TD runs like Vick did against BC or Temple. And none other than Bobby Bowden was in disbelief over Vick after our MNC appearance. I've never seen Jackson run and elude tacklers like Vick did. Jackson may be good, but after I've seen Mike, Jackson is just another in a long string of wannabes. He doesn't impress me. I've seen a thing or two, and Lamar ain't what I'm talking about.
