Yes. Yes. Yes. His talent is WASTED playing QB. His job should be to carry the ball, not to give it to somebody else.
He should be a RB / WR / KR / PR
It's like making Ichiro a pitcher because he has a good arm, and wasting his talent as a hitter, defender, and baserunner.

No he would not. Linebackers and defensive backs are in coverage when he drops back into the pocket. When he takes off he has the advantage of having them occupied with that coverage and the LB's and DB's have to make up ground to tackle him. Running from a set formation as any RB would put much more pressure and punishment on Vick.

Maybe a RB/WR/Kick and Punt Returner...yes. A full time RB though no, not built big enough for the pounding they take. In the long run he'd be much more effective for Atlanta as that slash back than as their starting QB....he's an average NFL QB at best.

No. What makes vick a great running QB is that he has more time and spaces open up before he decides to run more often that not.
As a running back vick is way too small. Not enough meat and having to run right into 300+ pound linemen, he might break.
and this coming from a huge Vick fan.

No, look at his injury track record in the last 5 years. He could not take the punishment. The guy is strictly Overrated. Maybe a Wide out with that speed. But seriously this is his sixth year, he is either hurt or "showing promise" bullcrap, he will be out of the league in 4 more years, so much for promise.

Good RB. Mediocre QB.

Like everyone's said, doesn't have the build for it. He'd never be healthy. Like the Pennington of runningbacks. If his brother Marcus can stay out of trouble(a huge IF) he will be a much better player than Mike....

Maybe if he were in High School. He's way too small for the punishment he would have to take. He could be a great WR.

He already is. He just runs the RB option more then other RB's.
