Agreed. You keep spreading these guys thin, they'll fall apart.
But the announcers are talking about how incredible he is while replaying that pass. That's really weird.
Phil Simms' opinion > FBG message board poster oppinionsIt's not like we're talking about Theisman here.
To be fair, Simms is talking about his physical gifts and arm strength (which are incredible) and Cross is talking about his ability to hit a target with that sort of pass (which is incredibly poor).
What?? The great Michael Vick is only 1/6 for 22 yards and a pick? How is that possible?
Yeah, "Oooooh, look how far and high he can throw the ball!"Too bad it wasn't close to being completed.
I don't disagree that he doesn't look good. But on the first drive White dropped a short pass that was perfect, and then Vick put a deep sideline pass on the money, and White failed to make the catch (would have been a tough play, and interference could have been called). On the Polamalu interception, IMO Polamalu simply made a great play... not a great pass by Vick but not a terrible pass.Anyway, the bottom line is results, and I agree Vick isn't getting them.
I don't understand why people keep making pass-by-pass excuses for this guy.
Other than forgetting the snap count!
Definitely. You have to stop making mistakes against bad teams, or they will come back and bite you in the ###.That said, nice defensive play on 2nd down.
The negative hype on him is over the top, and it was symbolic of his receiver play when his first pass of the game was dropped and his second one was there to be made for 40 yards but wasn't caught.
I think you and I have differing opinions of how his QB style and (in)ability to touch pass and have good footwork/rapport with his receivers/etc. affect the whole passing game.The negative hype on him is over the top, and it was symbolic of his receiver play when his first pass of the game was dropped and his second one was there to be made for 40 yards but wasn't caught.
what that tells me is the Falcons coaches don't think they can hang.. desperation... that said- great execution
No doubt. I am in the distinct minority in my opinion that Vick is not as bad as most make him out to be.I think you and I have differing opinions of how his QB style and (in)ability to touch pass and have good footwork/rapport with his receivers/etc. affect the whole passing game.The negative hype on him is over the top, and it was symbolic of his receiver play when his first pass of the game was dropped and his second one was there to be made for 40 yards but wasn't caught.
you call 2 turnovers deep in Falcon territory perfect???Steelers playing nearly a perfect game thus far and only up by 3.....with Atlanta on the move DEEP in Pitt territory. Uh Ohhhh Steeler fan..........
Steelers are better.. period. BUT in the NFL, you must protect the ball!!
