Yeah at this point you have no use for Vick. For me I am keeping him because he is right close to where I projected him to be and helped me get back in the hunt.
just took him 64 games to throw for 3+TDs in a game
Every QB has this happen to them. Did you see Harrison fail to catch that TD pass? All he had to do was get his left down but he didn't. He usually makes that play but Manning missed on that one. It happens to all QB's.It's good to see Vick have a great game, his best ever without a doubt. It's really nice to see him do it against Pitts. (That's a Bengal fan talking).War Eagle said:
Seriously, let's not carried away with it because it was 1 game. When Vick can put it together for more than 1 game, say a few of them whereby he actually makes some down the field passing plays, then ATL will be a serious contender.Also, he's going to need more than Crumpler if he's going to continue with throwing with consistency. Let's see a few more games before we get too carried away.
And I was just thinking that I would see what I could get from the Hass owner for him.
I've seen some the games but I am basing my comments on his career results and observations. For one, the stats do not lie. They are unbiased speak volumes about what happened. Further, ther have been very games when Vick made you think he's going to be a passer. When I say that I mean on a consistent basis. Again, I am referring to "passing", not running.Lastly, I am courious as to why when Vick fans get defensive, they hold him to a different standard then other QB's? It seems that some defend his lack of passing skills because of his exceptional running ability. I understand the overall analysis but to suggest he's an effective passer is like saying Manning can really run when he wants to. (That's not a good image either).But if suddenly starts playing like this then all bets are off. But his career suggests we can expect more of what he had seen before this week.
OK just so I get a better picture here, when was the last time you watched a Falcons game (the entire game)?You are right, stats don't lie and they are unbiased, but when a person uses stats and stats alone to make a judgement on a player, that is a biased opinion.Most Vick fans agree that the WCO does not suit his style of play. And your stats seem to support that.
I was going to come in here and post the exact same thing. In the league in which I own Vick, I don't think I could get any more for him now than I could have last week.
The fans don't get defensive....or maybe we do...but not for the reason you think.The fans, if like me, have watched every ATL game that Vick has been involved in. And through time, we watched as he has developed as a passer. I would have agreed with your assessment 5 years ago. But as the years have gone by, Vick has more and more made the throws WHEN CALLED UPON TO DO SO.The ATL game plan is NOT to drop back 60-70 times a game. They want to run first.Anyway, starting just last year, it was becoming apparent that the issue was definitely no longer Vick but the WRs. We've complained about the WRs for years, but it's kind of hard to put your finger on it when the most experienced WR is Finnerran.This year it has been PAINFULLY obvious with Finnerran out. Besides Crumpler, ATL does not have a WR that consistently holds onto the ball. Not only that, but if you really pay attention, you'll see that they don't even fight for the ball. Vick is Vick.....he's a better passer when on the move....he's damn fast and will always run.....but he can throw from the pocket....but he CAN'T drop back 60 times a game and be successful. We know that. We love that. He makes the game electric! If Mora would just go get us Moss! With his hands.....NASTY!
