It's retarded to use your franchise QB as a running back, period. Another enchilada to use a guy like Kaepernick or Wilson who cost you very little.

We don't see Rodgers getting designed runs called for him because he can't run like Griffin. No QB in NFL history was probably as fast and elusive as him, even Vick in his youth.

The game has changed many times and we're seeing a transition right now, thanks to our own RGIII.
