He's most dangerous the further away he is from the goal-line -- when the defense is most spread out.
Four fumbles is nothing for a QB who runs as often as he does.
He's the only QB in NFL history to rush for a thousand yards in a game.
He's an a-hole and was a fairly overrated player -- but he's without question the most dangerous open field runner to ever play the qb position. By far.
In my opinion, with an obvious exception to Randy Moss, he was the most talented college football player I'd ever seen, and while Va Tech lost the national title game -- he put on a show against a very tough FSU defense.

That is 4 fumbles while running the ball, not counting the ones in the pocket. It is a lot. He may be a great openfield runner but that does not make him a good QB.
