You're a VT homer, Vick's speed put him so far above NCAA players it was ridiculous. He didn't sacrifice crap. I've got FAR more respect for sacrifices the RBs/LBs and lineman make than Vick. You try lining up about 7-10yds from another top level NCAA athlete and run full speed into him for 30 plays....and not get an ounce of recognition for it outside of your teammates....that's sacrifice.

And I've played in the military and semi-pro at QB...while the players aren't 300lbers, there were some damn good athletes (prior NCAA) at 250+ getting clean shots on my blind-side. There was also some dirty stuff that went on in semi-pro. I never whined or cried about it....and I wasn't getting a 7 figure paycheck either. I suspect there's several others on the board that have played at a higher level than me who didn't whine and cry like a little **tch when they took a few shots.

I'm sure Vick improved his Q score this weekend. LOL.
