Michael Vick officially retires

[True Dough]

His passing stats won't get him in any conversations about the all-time greats. He will surely be remembered for the dog fighting conviction.

But he also holds the record for QB with the most rush yards in a career. Anyone think a current QB will break that record?

1. It's a shame

that he didn't have a bigger career and that his reputation hasn't fully recovered even after he completed his jail time and community service, but 6109 rushing yards for a QB is still pretty nice. At least he wasn't a cheater.

3. Well, maybe he wasn't a cheater, too...

2. Cam Newton is about five years away from breaking it, at his current pace

He's averaging about 590 yards per season, and is at 3566 for his career. His running numbers this year were his lowest yet (359--180 yards fewer than his previous low), and it seems reasonable to assume his numbers might not again consistently reach the 650/season he was averaging before this year. But I think eventually he'll reach that mark.

4. A running quarterback...

...is the definition of a short career.
