Ok, here we go again with Vick. I keep on hearing all these arguments like how great an athlete Vick is and this and that. Look if he couldn't change the game in his prime then what makes you think he's going to do it when he's in his 30's. A linebacker lined up 3-6 yards off the ball running a 4.6 40 is easily fast enough to catch Vick when he scrambles. In fact part of the reason Vick failed was because defenses as a whole were already fast enough to catch him.

It was during the initial years where he was protected beyond belief (ie run to pass ratio) that he was able to be successful. On top of that a lot of teams felt that they had to defend the run and the pass when playing Vick when in reality they only had to focus on the run. Also a lot of teams learned pretty quickly after watching Vick get knocked around by the Buc's that a Cover 2 zone was the perfect defense to contain Vick as he had minimal accuracy to compliment his rail gun of an arm.

The Eagles also attacked him during those NFC championship game using minimal coverage. And that was running the west coast offense.

Trust me, I watched more of Vick then most of you who only caught highlights on sportscenter. The guy isn't that good a QB. He's barely decent. And no this has nothing to do with his off the field exploits. From a pure talent perspective he is virtually nothing especially after D-Coordinators figured out how to stop him.

And for those of you who want numbers fine. As a passer Vick never completed over 57% of his passes. On top of that for all the rushing yards he gathered he still remains extremely turnover prone. Hell in 2004 alone he had 16 fumbles. To date he's fumbled the ball 55 times in his career and two of those years were short years for him.

However if you don't believe me then watch how well he does when he gets back in the league for someone else.
