Data Points: Vick’s impressive milestone

All the panic in Philadelphia after the Eagles dropped to 1-4 has overshadowed the news that Michael Vick passed Randall Cunningham as the all-time rushing leader among quarterbacks. It’s a very impressive record for two reasons. One, the top five in this category are all Pro Bowl quarterbacks, three of whom have led teams to the Super Bowl; and two, it took Vick only nine seasons to reach the mark that Cunningham set in 16 seasons. It’s safe to say that if Vick plays as long as these other guys did, his record will be completely out of reach.
