The last thing I wanna come off as in this league (since I am new to all of you besides Details I believe) is a cheeser. After the acquisition of Michael Vick I just want to make sure that doesn't happen. Even with Vick I will still be playing pass first, run second, but I just want to get word from Pasta or anyone really if there are certain things I shouldn't do with Vick? Only scramble so many times, etc? just curious. Last thing I am is a cheeser, but I do wanna take full advantage of Vick's abilities.

As long as it isn't 20 rush attempts a game, I think you should be fine. Obviously Vick is fast, but he doesn't out-attempt his running game.
From looking at his real life stats -- 5-8 attempts from him a game would be his average. He sometimes went over, but considering 11 min quarters with acc, I'd say 5-8 is the safer average to stick around.

Same thing with me and VY. You will see realistic play (but less crappy)lol. I have Carson Palmer..this is just insurance I can live with.

No specific rules. I think this year its pretty balanced. Run too much with Vick and you'll end up with a fumble or two and fatigued. The only thing I personally have a problem with when it comes to game style is taking advantage of exploits. If the D isn't spying Vick I wouldn't expect you not to run if the opportunity is there just to avoid the appearance of "cheesing"
and any run past 5 yard you have to slide. Only playing me though.

Yea open up throwing lanes to get picked off with that shitty accuracy.I 'd rather Vick beat me through the air then run wild on me lol.

My question to you (and I'm not being a prick) is are you more of a scrambling QB?

I have probably never used a scrambling QB for any extended period in my madden career. Run with the Packers most of the time (favorite team) so it has always been Favre or A-Rod for me. Just always hated Eli Manning in real life, ever since he cried his way to the Giants, and was intrigued to see how I could do with Vick if i could acquire him. I did, along with a great young rookie in Crabtree. This is all an experiment this year. 13 games left to see if this works, if not, I cut my losses next season and move on with a pocket passer that I am used to :D
