Leading up to the dog suspension, which effectively ended his prime, Vick missed 2 games in 3 years.

RG3:
[LIST]
[*]Destroyed his knee into a million pieces trying to catch a shotgun snap like every QB does on almost every play.
[*]Dislocated his ankle while throwing a ball away.
[*]Hurt his shoulder on a scramble.
[/LIST]
The first two injuries (which basically ruined his career) had nothing to do with his running ability. Vick was fine for the most part.

Statistics show that QBs are more likely to get injured getting hit in the pocket than they are on a designed QB run. Not to mention nobody says that you shouldn't use your RB or WR because they might get hurt. Injuries happen here and there to every position. There's nothing out there to suggest that a QB that happens to be an insanely good runner is at an increased injury risk; if anything, all of the evidence suggests the opposite. It's just old school football heads that can't wrap their minds around players that don't fit the usual mold.
