What looks better now? (1 Viewer)

[gianmarco]

Vick has always been criticized about his arm in terms of accuracy, touch, etc. His strong point has always been his running ability.

Well, so far, he's definitely looking good again running the ball. However, some of these throws that he's been making have been absolutely superb. Short throws, deep throws, even hanging in the pocket with good presence. He's been threading balls into tight spaces to Maclin and DeSean.

So, what's the best part of his game RIGHT NOW? Is it still his legs or does it look like his arm has become his primary weapon?

Without a doubt the arm. He is completing a much higher percentage of his passes from when he was with Atlanta. One of the most impressive things that I saw yesterday were the lasers he threw to his WRs. The ball was coming in very fast and he was throwing the football into what seemed like small windows. I was hesitant to get too crazy over him but he just looks increddible and perhaps will live up to the hype that once surrounded him. He looked like a different QB yesterday and he looks like he's on a different level than 95% of the other QBs. He can improvise but it also looks like that OL is rallying behind him and trying even harder to protect.

I would still like to see some passes from him that require more touch, but the throws he's making right now are beautiful.

His beautiful chestnut thighs and shiny hair.

True, but even his screens have looked good (which in the past they didn't).

I fail to see the relevance here... Are you saying that because later in his career, Randall Cunningham's throwing was more a threat than his running (debateable) that Vick will be the same way? If so, what about guys like Kordell Stewart, who I would argue is more like Vick than Cunningham, and will have a career only as long as they can run? I'd argue that a comparison to a guy like McNabb is much more relevant, and that one could argue that unlike McNabb, who now is much more of a pocket passer, Vick will never be able to make that transition, and once his mobility decreases with age, he will no longer have an NFL career. Thoughts?

Almost all of Vick's big pass plays are made outside of the pocket. His legs are still his most dangerous weapon and DC's can't just blitz him at will because of his ability to escape a one on one situation from just about anybody. Yes he does have a cannon for an arm and he does appear to have developed some touch as well but the threat of his escaping from the pocket is still the thing which will keep DC's up at night imo.

Hard to tell with all that equipment on
