There have been great quarterbacks that have been really good passers, but only so-so runners. Why doesn't that work in reverse?

It doesn't work in reverse because the primary job of a QB is to pass, the primary job of a RB is to run. A QB can not win alone on running because if you face a stellar defense that is ready for the run, what are you going to do? Throw 7 INT's? Also, running like that all the time is going to get him injured more severly than he did last season, not only can something like that cost the team the season, it can also end his career.

What determines success @ the QB spot? Trent Dilfer has a superbowl ring that says he was a successful QB, but I don't think he'd come close to your Montana criteria (nor would 90% of QBs playing today). Vick has time and winning percentage on his side, plus nobody wants another Joe Montana. Vick will be Vick whether you appreciate him as a QB or not and he'll play the QB spot his way. Instead of watching Roethlisberger film, he could find old reels of Jeff George. Wait, no.. nevermind.

I removed my Montana statement before you replied registrant2000 for the same reason you stated.....so ignore that.
Dilfer got the ring because he had one of the greatest defenses in NFL history, something most teams can't ever claim.
What determines success at the QB stop? I will tell you.
Grip - Vick has about 15 fumbles this season, that is more than 1 a game.
Intelligence - Vick can't read the defense in passing situations, which is why he freaks out and runs. He seems he can't audilbilize at the line either, why? Because before the play, he already sets himself up for the run. He doesn't even wan't to think of passing. He want's to be a one man team.
Mobility - He has this part down
Accuracy - He has 12 INT's with only 314 attempts.
Vision - He obviously can't scan the field in passing situations.
