It should be a part of the playbook for a lot of reasons. He is comfortable with it being one. It also can be used just as the roll-out to keep defenses from knowing where he is going to be all the time. I am not saying depending on him being a running back

All you have to do is look at the careers of running QBs.

Cam Newton, broken down.
Andrew Luck a broken man and retired at 29.
Michael Vick done as a good QB by the time he was 31.

Cam is broken down, after a ten year career. Perish the thought. How many QB tend to last that long as the starter/franchise QB?
Luck had no OL and was not a run-first QB. (around 60 runs per season, half that of Cam, equal to Blake Bortles) 
Vick spent his prime years in jail, and was basically a backup once that time elapsed.

Good examples. Great job. I don't see how anyone isn't convinced yet.

Maybe we should cite the ultimate example - Drew Bledsoe - Feet of concrete, an absolute statue, decided to run one time and ends up with his liver in the back of his throat. Oh yeah, and spawned the career of some guy who cheated a bunch, paid too much attention to how Drewsy got hurt, stayed in the pocket, and well, poop.
