I think they were more concerned or more interested in his ability to throw the ball but thats just me.
Add to that the fact that he's probably a concussion away from potentially being a vegetable and I don't think they'll run him too awful much.

We will see. I still think you're underestimating how tremendous the pistol offense is as a run offense, especially with the way Reid loves to use his RBs. And maybe overestimating the danger of the offense, where the main danger is for a QB that loves to run. Really the only danger is past the line of scrimmage.
I mean, even the 49ers run it 1/3 of the time so you're right, it's more of a wrinkle. But I don't think we run it 2 or 3 times. I could see us running it a decent number of times and that a lot of those plays out of that package will turn into a run option. Even though Reid doesn't love to run the ball, with his love for multi-dimensional fullbacks and tight ends, this offense fits beautifully into his overall scheme.
