Why are people making it seem like Jason Campbell is a rushing quarterback?

I think you are right.

But I agree with the collective. If you want a guy who is going to average 50 yards rushing a game, Campbell isn't going to do that. He may not even look to run more than once a game in a system which emphasizes check downs after the pocket breaks down. Better get it to a guy who is paid to run with the ball than to go for the sideline and take the lick yourself.
