What is Michael Vick's Max Potential? (1 Viewer)

[B-Scott]

In your opinion what is his max potential? Right now ,i would say the problem with Vick has been his lack of consistency. One week he will look like the 2nd comng of Steve Young ,then for the next couple of weeks he will look like Tommy Maddox. Basically a streaky QB who gets hot every couple of weeks. In his defense ,there offensive line has not been playing that well ,so its difficult to be consistent with the O-Line not protecting the QB.

What would you say is his max potential? Or has he already pretty much maxed out whatever he has to offer ,and thats be great for 2 weeks ,then not play all that well for the next 5 weeks.

I think what we've seen from Vick thus far is pretty much what we'll be getting for the rest of his career. He's just not a consistent performer.

What you see is what you get.

After 6 years QBs are what they are. Consider Vick a middle to lower of the pack NFL QB.

We saw it probably 2 years ago.

max potential is a faster version of Steve Young. Give him a "Jerry Rice" and I'd have to believe that he'd look a ton better than what we've seen with him constantly having one of the worst WR corps in the league.

Good point. Young had Jerry Rice, John Taylor ,Brent Jones , Ricky Watters coming out the backfield ,and a very good offensive line.

I have to question whether it's the WRs making Vick look bad or Vick making the WRs look bad. I'm inclined to believe it's a combination of both.

Agreed. Jenkins has looked very good when Vick was on, and both look bad at other times.I would have loved to see Vick with TO.

I think it's the WR's making Vick look bad and the O-line

Max potential for one game? Probably something like 150 yards rushing, multi-TDs, and decent passing mumbers. He has that game in him, it's just a question of when.

Max for one season? Probably a more polished version of 2002. He's not that far from it this year (and, as is always pointed out in these threads, he's far more consistent than people think due to his running numbers).

If they sign Moss it goes up. If they keep the same WR's he's toast. Not that his WR's are the problem it's just he needs one of the best to play jump ball with to be successful. He can't read a D very well.
