What will Mike Vick become first? (1 Viewer)

[Chase Stuart]

Vick has 11,505 career passing yards and 3,870 career rushing yards (2.97:1 ratio). Last year, Vick passed for 2,474 yards while rushing for 1,039 yards (2.38:1 ratio).

Steve Bartkowksi (23,740) is the current Falcons franchise leader in passing yards, and Gerald Riggs (6,631) is the current Falcons franchise leader in rushing yards. Dunn is 1,370 yards behind Riggs, and is a big wildcard. He's got a good chance to break that mark, although at 32 and with Norwood hanging around, he might now.

Vick is 12,235 passing yards and 2,761 rushing yards away (4.43:1 ratio). Assuming Dunn doesn't break Riggs' mark and Vick doesn't get hurt, he seems like a lock to break the rushing record first. Of course, he might start passing more and running less at any given moment, and as he gets older we'd expect the ratio to go up.

AFAIK, Vick would be the first player to hold both franchise marks in a long, long time.

If he'd break anything, he'd break the rushing record, but I don't think he lasts that long on the Falcons.

Voted neither.

If I had to pick one of them I'd pick the passing leader. If he doesn't improve as a passer soon he won't be the starting QB in Atlanta long enough to break the rushing mark.
