When you bring in the guy who is the "running" QB, it signals to the opposing team that you are most likely going to run the ball and that it's probably going to be up to the QB to decide if he or someone else is going to run it, which makes it pretty easy to key on the play. Sure they could run a pass play with him in, but given that he can't pass worth a damn and it's not like teams are going to be selling out on 11 man fronts, I don't see that creating much of a threat either. Nico got banged up in pretty much every game he played. He is athletic and likes to run, but his body is equipped to withstand the punishment, so putting him in where you are pretty much guaranteeing he's going to get hit doesn't exactly strike me as a genius move.
