Michael Vick?

Question

he can run.........does that about cover it?

we're talk'n 69.5 rating....why the hype?

okay...good answers..but would he make a good back up in Canada?

Answer 1

The Falcons will never go all the way with Vick, He is great for selling jerseys, thats about it.

Answer 2

I'd have to agree with Dun Dun, even though i'm biased since i'm a Falcons season ticket holder, but all i have to say is that he's as successful in the NFL as Peyton Manning, having reached the conference title game, but not advancing the the Super Bowl. Honestly, he's a proven winner where defensive coordinators don't know how to defend him at most times because of his great speed and elusiveness. when he's out on the field, he's going to be the fastest player on the field, who gets to touch the pigskin on every play, so if the falcons running game, not even involving Vick is going well, he's another factor who could take it himself or throw a bullet to Alge! For all you Vick bashers, it's all good when the Dirty Birds are parading down Peachtree St. in 2-3 years in the future with the Lombardi trophy!!!

Suckas!!!

Answer 3

Vick is a great athlete, but a below average athlete. He is in the wrong offense for his talent. He need to be in a more vertical offense to get the ball down the field. These dump offs in the west coast offense don't suit him. He is all hype as far as a QB. Not much better than Kordell Stewart was as a QB. If he runs a different offense he may turn out to be much better. As of now, he is worthless.

Answer 4

He's not a very good QB at all...but part of the problem is the lack of good WRs...Atlanta hasn't addressed that issue very well...White isn't all that special...but Crumpler is amazing......but one guy can't help Vick...He'd need a receiving group consisting of Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, Marvin Harrison, and Torry Holt to be even a mediocre passing QB...


Hey koolbob.....Vick....on the steelers? Are you from Pluto? How can you not know who Vick is?......

Answer 5

He's probably the most exciting player in the NFL. He sells tickets and draws great TV ratings. His scrambles, his spin moves, his jukes, and his outstanding speed at the QB position makes him great. It's a lot more exciting to watch a player make a guy miss or take off running, than it is to see a guy drop back and complete a ordinary pass. It's not about his numbers at all... he's a human highlight reel. The fans and the media love it.

Answer 6

Vick is to football what Butterbean is to boxing.
Brings in a lot of excitement, but never gets in the big game.

I think the money has gone to that whole family's head.

Michael Vick - the best of the bunch.
Aaron Brooks (Vick's cousin) - I got my millions, I don't care if we win.
Marcus Vick - I'm bad, who needs college, I'll just go pro (and nobody drafted him)

Answer 7

i totally do not understand all the hype about this guy. yes he is fast and he can make the best linebackers look like kids in a sandbox but he gets hurt when he gets tackled. he has to learn to pass the ball. has any of his Wide Receivers had more than 250 yds receiving in a season? not including Alge Crumpler(TE)

Answer 8

Michael Vick is not an NFL quarterback anymore. Defensive coordinators have had him figured out for two years and his success has shown it. He wont be able to win with his legs anymore and his arm is not up to par with NFL qbs.

Answer 9

Stay away from Vick. Inconsistent and questionable intelligence. Too risky, although he can have a few great games.

Answer 10

That's about it. They should consider making him a rb, or bring in another qb for passing plays (but that would make it obvious when they're going to pass and run).
