Vick has great tools and is fun to watch and while he's got a great arm he's not a "great passer" yet. Heck, Rohan Davey who will most likely be #3 again for the Pats can toss it 50-70yds from his knees, doesn't mean I want him running a team just yet.
The injury hurt Vick, he lost time, and possible changed his style, it was the whole argument used on Cunningham, Stewart and even Brunell, good qb's, great tools, but to be truely great people argued they needed to stay in the pocket, become a pocket passer and then run when needed or not expected, rather then say a Flutie who had to run (cause he couldn't throw from the pocket most of the time).
In cunninghams case, he proved people wrong, he was a good passer still playing "his style", in Stewarts case, many think keeping him "in the pocket" is what hurt his career.
The problem w/ a "Running Qb" is while it's fun to watch and may put points on the board, anytime your QB is closer to a defender then his OL, he's "at risk" so many teams are afraid to let their QB run wild.
I think Vick has the tools and from reports to head, to learn the passing game, and step back so he can throw first and run second rather then the other way around... wouldn't be shocked if this becomes his "break out" year.
