This is a good point. And a factor to take into account with respect to accepting for now his average/slightly better than average QB skillset. Of course, the owner has to eventually make a decision as to whether he wants to just put butts in the seat or wants to win. That will be his decision. |

My best guess is that Vick has two seasons to show signs that the team can make a deep playoff run with him at the helm.

The one thing I'm surprised no one has brought up yet (or maybe I missed it) is how Mora refused to build a system around Vick and tried to make him conform to a system. TO is an idiot but the one thing he was right about was that Greg Knapp was a bad offensive coordinator.
While I in no way am attempting to compare Tom Brady to Michael Vick, is there anyone here (besides st.cronin) who thinks that Brady doesn't have weaknesses? There's a reason he fell to the sixth round of the draft. Again, I'm not saying that Brady has no talent, but I believe the system in New England maximzes Brady's talent and minimizes his short comings. When Reeves was coach, he built the offense around Vick, and when Vick started those games the team was pretty successful. I'm also not saying that Mora trying to employ the "West Coast Offense" did not have its merits. In fact, its value could be seen when Vick was "out" with injury (as other quarterbacks who did not have Vick's skill set could be as or even more successful with Vick). I like Mike Vick's plight to FOF (as I try to relate most things in life). A quarterback with Vick's skills in FOF would probably have high potential in long and deep passes, and scrambling ability. He'd probably also have mediocre (think low 50's) accuracy and next to nothing in ratings for screen passes, touch passes, timing, etc. Do you try to run a throw short offense with him in FOF? Heck, no! You would try to get receivers that maximize Vick's abilities and offensive tackles with high pass blocking abilities to let Vick get out of the pocket. Had Mora played more FOF, he probably would have been more succesful. The moral of the story? With Vick's cap number, the Falcons know they are going to be stuck with him for at least two more years. So, why not give him the best opportunity to succeed? He proved with Dan Reeves he could. That's why the hire of Bobby Petrino was a good selection (as would have Ken Whisenhunt). Both have had success using their great playcalling abilities to get the most out of their players (see Whisenhunt with Big Ben). I say in two years, Petrino will make Vick a winning quarterback again. Last edited by RedKingGold : 01-24-2007 at 06:44 AM. |

I believe the main reason Brady fell to the 6th round was his size. He was really, really skinny in college.

So you're saying Brady might be linked to steroids in some manner?
