Well, if you look at his completion percentages, they fluctuated QUITE a bit in 2010, which is a good indicator of true performance and impact. This is a TREND with Michael Vick, his play CAN fluctuate throughout the whole season, AND in games:

2010 - 62.4%; Started hot, faded late (INT in last 6 games, including playoffs)
Best game = 71.4% - Wk 10 (Also did this in Wk4, but on 7 passes)
Worst game = 54.8% - Wk 3
*Note that he had 3 games under 60%, and 3 more right above it. Sounds like fluctuating play, if you ask me.

2006 - 52.6%; Started hot, faded late.
Best game = 70.6% - Wk 8
Worst game = 37.5% - Wk 12

05 - 55.3%; Started hot, faded late
Best = 71% - Wk 9 (75% on 8 passes in Week 4)
Worst = 40.6% - Wk 15

04 - 56.4%; Started (sort of) hot, faded late (again, sort of)
Best = 75% - Week 8
Worst = 39.3% - Week 13

02 - 54.9% - Started hot, faded FAST and late - 6 of 8 INTS came in last 5 weeks.
Best = 79.2% - Wk 12 (Second best, 72.7%, came in Wk 7)
Worst = 39.3% - Wk 13 (Technical worst came in Wk 5, but he only threw 12 passes)

Didn't count the rookie year, but notice any TRENDS?
Any coincidence his WORST games of every year come late in the year? He faded at the end of the year in EVERY year, in some form or fashion.

Everyone knows Vick is a hot/cold, streaky player. He just minimized it last year (Coincidentally, he plays best in warm weather, and usually struggles in cold weather). Think of Brett Favre, when he threw only 6 INTs with the Vikings. He was hella lucky that year, and he naturally went back to his trigger-happy ways the next year, throwing 22 INTs. The same will probably happen to Vick. I do think he's more accurate, but his comp. % will correct itself to about 58% next year.

Id be surprised if he produced 2010 numbers AGAIN. But all in all, he's a streaky player. You could get his best game one week, and his worst one 3 weeks later. Peyton Manning/Tom Brady, you can REALISTICALLY pencil 'em in for a solid game, week in, week out.

If it's editable, I'd use the scouting reports to determine if a rookie like Andrew Luck is Trigger-happy, can sense pressure, throws a tight spiral (Some QBs don't), etc.
