Who wants to see Russ rush for 1,000+?

I know in terms of ideal NFL QBs it's not "ideal" whatever that means, and it exposes Russ to risk, but he is smart about it, doesn't force it, and takes what is given to him in terms of running the ball. So with that said I would love to see him rush for 1,000 yards and he isn't that far off pace. He's averaging 58/game currently and needs to average about 72/game here on out to hit the mark.

It would put not only him in rare territory but him and Lynch combined. Only Michael Vick has rushed for 1,000 as a QB, and there have only been 6 times in history where 2 players on the same team have rushed for 1,000+ in the same season, so Russ and Lynch would be only the 7th pair.

I think that would be rad.

I know people are going to say that if he rushes for 1,000 that we aren't doing something right but not sure thats true or not. If he gets 80+ yards a game from here on out I think we are in good shape. Regardless it would be pretty cool to see a 3,000/1,000 yard season. Only problem is that he faces SF twice and they seem to remove him as a running option or have in the past. Hasn't rushed for much against them historically so getting to a 1,000 will be tough to do.

Lol that's such a random non-relevant question. I'm not comparing the two at all, just simply saying it would be a rare feat and kinda neat. Quit trying to create a straw-man

I'm old school and do not want to see my starting QB on IR because he runs so much. It only takes one hit...

It is not a non-relevant question. How many 'running QBs' have won a SB?

Russ thumbs his ass at defenses when he scampers around the edge (or even more so if he goes up the middle), breaks off a huge chunk of yards (and probably a first down (often on third (or even fourth) down)), then slips out of bounds (or (even moreso) slides), but that does not mean I want to see my homeboy RUNNING FOR A GRAND (thank you very much).
