Mora's father criticizes M. Vick (1 Viewer)

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

I think what Jim Mora Sr. should have said was the 'cliche' that gets thrown around all the time:

POTENTIAL gets coaches and GMs fired.

If asked about Mike Vick, THAT is what he should have said.

I say the O-Coordinator is as good as gone - and they can attribute their tough season to the injuries to their DBs, Abraham and Kerney.

It's not like they're eliminated from the playoffs yet though.

That is laughable. Mike Vick isn't in the top 500 players of all time.

yet

and yet LT2 is probably in the top 20 already

Jason Whitlock chimes in:

Meanwhile in Atlanta, Vick, a six-year vet, is being pampered into mediocrity. The fact that he doesn’t do the little things – constant film study, attention to footwork, leadership – is rarely addressed by the national or local media.

This is just plain & simply big time from Whitlock. :X From Len Pasta Belly's firsthand observations of Vick & the Falcon's Mini Camps, OTA's & TC's this past summer.

As incongruous as it sounds, you throw from the feet up, and Vick's footwork in the past has been so sloppy that it has precluded him from having a real chance at upgrading his marksmanship. But on Thursday, on most occasions, he was a drop, plant, square-the-shoulders, rotate-into-the-throw passer. There were few of the mechanical lapses that have marked his motion in the past, and Vick lauded the offseason work put in by new quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave, who has spent a ton of hours with the star. Musgrave owns the reputation of being a stickler, a guy who will hound his pupils when they make mistakes. But Vick, who many felt might chafe under his stewardship, has taken well to the approach. In the past, on the rare occasions when Vick actually had his mechanics and timing in synch, he was a lot more accurate and the ball didn't sail as much on him. That was also the case Thursday, and Vick needs to continue to focus on delivering the ball with sound techniques.

Vick put in a ton of extra work over the summer, often staying after practice to work with Musgrave & Finneran (until he blew out his knee), Jenkins & White.
