Umm I would say he scrambles so much because he blows as a passer more than anything else.

Dunn & Norwood had pretty good years, including Norwood's 69 yd. td against us.
I would say Vick scrambles more because his recievers don't get open & because he can outrun everybody on the field.
Lehr seems to have a hard time keeping a job more than a couple years, so that might be a red flag in itself. I'd like for us to draft a couple late rnd. guys & in bring in 1 cheap vet to compete for the spot. Is Lehr that guy? I don't know, but I'm sure our FO is looking into it.

If you're thinking I'm a Mike Vick fan, you're mistaken. I hate him, even though with 20 TD passes last year, he had more than Brunell and Campbell combined (18).

I agree that our O-line needs help. Like you, I would like us to draft someone in the later rounds and build the line the way we did with the Hogs - from the ground up.
