McNabb was sore all the time.  And the dropoff in QB from McNabb to Keith Downing in some years, or more specifically to Madei Williams in the last year, couldn't have been that much better a situation than the dropoff from Nassib to Loeb or Kinder.

Downing couldn't throw a football (superior athlete though), Madei couldn't..um...do...much..of...anything.

After watching the Pitt game, I realize why Nassib doesn't run more.  No idea how to carry a football, he was lucky it was only one fumble, and that fumble the ball was barely breathed upon.

He's no McNabb, McPherson, Graves, Mason in terms of footspeed.  But he's no RJ, Cam either.  Probably a little faster than Perry and ARob.  I used the word useful once, and OrangePa jumped all over me asking what useful means.  I, like Webster's, define useful as something you could use.  In football terms, that would mean you could use Nassib on some spread option plays or QB draws, or just taking off when there's an alley and gain productive yards.  Could be "useful" more than other QBs who don't have the same names as the first 4 guys I mentioned.

Oh well, if he's going to carry the football like a loaf of bread, the point is moot anyway.
