re: Nick Fitzgerald or Shea Patterson? Who would you want as your QB

Fitzgerald.

You can't be totally one dimensional one way or the other, but you can be much better at one aspect (running or passing) and still make a spread offense work if the coordinator can adjust and handle what the qb does best (and if they have the other things like wr's, etc).

But I consider rushing yards to be more valuable than passing yards. Not to mention evading sacks, and getting positive yardage on busted plays.

I'd take 200 yards rushing a game, 150 passing in a heartbeat over 400 passing, 100 rushing (team, not individual stats). Ideally I guess you would like to see 200 rushing, 200 passing. But that is the point I'd like to make.
