LOL. Yeah you're right, we should base talent level on the Pro Bowl voting.

Oy Vey--you need to pay more attention to the NFL. The Pro Bowl has become a joke and nothing more than a popularity contest. Why do you think there's so much talk of getting rid of it? Mediocre QB? Yep, you bet. When you’re the 26th rated passer in the NFL and lose more yards in sacks than any other QB in the league—a good QB you are not.

Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Daunte Culpepper, Donovan McNabb, Trent Green, Marc Bulger, Brett Favre, Chad Pennington, and Matt Hasselbeck are first tier QBs—and anyone who thinks Vick is even close to these guys is delusional. Then there are probably about five or six QBs that are second tier—and Vick is not among them. Now, when we get to the third tier we can talk about Vick—but not until.

What’s going on with Vick is akin to what has been going on in the NBA for over a decade now. Every new player that can dunk is deemed the next MJ. The next thing you know the league is full of the Next MJ—players that can make ESPN’s highlights and sell shoes, but can’t really play the game. That’s why the NBA’s ratings are in the tank—these commercially created New MJs can sell but can’t play—and the game sucks. Vick is a commercially created star, the NFL’s version of the Next MJ—nothing more.
