PHILADELPHIA -- Fire is required to light a candle. Ham still meshes with eggs.So, as Michael Vick left Lincoln Financial Field here on Sunday night with his family nearby and a 26-24 victory secured over Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts, Vick asked what was with all the hand-wringing over him running with the football again? Would he do it? Of course he was going to do it. Light it up. Ham it up.
Some people get sensitive, get racial about black quarterbacks who run with the football instead of pass it. Some people continue to label quarterbacks who can run as runners instead of throwers. You know, can't "run'' an offense. Uh, can't master a "pro'' offense.
Vick sheds this nonsense like a tackler. It's a thing of beauty. He has the legs to run past those labels, the arm and accuracy to silence those criticisms, a dual threat who uses variety to make the difference. And that was the difference in this Eagles victory and this Colts loss. The bottom line was Vick can run and Manning cannot. Vick did more with his legs and arm than Manning did with just his arm.
