As to McNabb and Vick being "running QBs," I don't think anyone could deny that they aren't. That's not racist, it's simply a fact. McNabb has been staying in the pocket a lot more this year and he's got amazing arm strength, accuracy and vision. So, this year I wouldn't described him as a running QB, I'd call him a QB who can run. But Mike Vick was and is a running QB; he racks up more rushing yards in many games than a lot of tailbacks and he often posts under 200 yards passing.
It doesn't matter whether they run or throw, as long as they move the ball into the endzone. Vick and McNabb both do that. It doesn't mean that they aren't smart. In fact, their vision and smarts allows them to run when they see running lanes and no open recievers. It would be dumb for them not to run when they can.
So I don't think labeling someone a running QB or scrambling QB has any racist connotations in and of itself.
