Who thinks Michael Vick is Overrated?

I totally disagree. as an athlete and a QB he's worth the money be cause he's turned the Falcons from a who cares game to 1 you watch even if you don't care who wins, not to mention without him they probably lose. Thats purely from an athletic point of view.

IMO not overrated if you take him for what he is and what he does well, he's not a drop back passer and when he tries it seems to really hamper his true style. I think the Falcon's need to trade him for a good mobile pocket passer, why? I think he will get hurt badly playing the way he does and the birds will have nothing if he can't run.

last time i checked u were payed to win. and vick wins. so lets lay this to rest.

his last two games he is 42-61 with 437 passing yards, 3 tds and no ints. when he wants to pass he does.


he has only ran the ball 64 times this year for 364. he is staying in the pocket more and more each game.

the west coast offense takes awhile to learn. give him by the end of the season and he will be lighting it up.

plus he doesnt have the best recievers in the game. they are all just decent.

I said he's an incredible athlete, not necessarily the best player.

I'd take Tomlinson before I took Vick.

He ranks 29th in Passing Offense as an NFL QB.


8 TD's and 6 INT's

Do you know how many teams are in the NFL?

If people said he was an average QB, than he might not be overrated.

The NFL isn't a "running QB league"

He's not even in the top 30 for rushing.

What does his athleticism have anything to do with him being a good QB?

This argument just keeps on going. I heard a stat on him this week. He's lost 15 games since his freshman year at Va Tech. He's a very good QB.

So it's a wrap. Some people on here would rather have a QB that ranks next to last in passing, below the middle of the pack in Total Offense, because he can run for almost as many yards as the #30 ranked RB.


I guess he's a great QB, just not one of the best in the NFL.

The Falcons run the ball to the tune of close to 200 ypg. The whole offense is predicated on the threat that on every running play, Vick might keep the football.

The best football player in the game today, huh?

How do you figure?

I can't explain it. Have you ever seen a highly recruited mobile QB play in high school? Or maybe lower-level college games. That's what I see whenever I watch Vick play.

He affects the defense like no other player. Half of Atlanta's offense is a simple zone run with the threat that 4 or 5 times a game Vick is going pull the ball out and bootleg the other way. He about the only QB who can sell a play action RUN.

I understand that he's a great mobile QB who is exciting to watch, Milo. He can break some ankles out there, for sure. But the best NFL player? I think Peyton is a better football player. Not as fleet on foot, but sure is exciting through the air. And puts up more points and wins, which matter. Vick is the best running QB, for sure, be he ranks almost last in passing. And even though he is a threat at running the ball, there are more than 30 players who have rushed for more yards than Vick.

Hell, Tonya Harding was exciting, too!!

Who's to say a pocket passer is the best kind of QB out there? I'd say Vick is at least as good of a running QB as Manning is a passing QB.
