yes,,,,he was only good about 50 percent of the time....but they were many games, in the first half of the season this year,,,,,where he threw and they won. so that is not a totally accurate statement.

 

The other thing is the thread title says he is the most overrated......not by the NFL QB rating system he in not. He is rated right where he should be right now.

 

I will take my chances with him throwing the football, personally. He is not going to win many games with his arm.

Yep,,,,I think right now, the best strategy is to make him throw,,,cause he will kill you if he tucks the ball and runs. However,,,,,if he is on (like he was much of this year) he could (could) kill you with his arm. The man does have a strong arm.........

Vick's problem isn't his arm, it's his height. Is he really even six foot tall?

 

He can't see over those giants to make good passes. I don't know of any way that can be fixed. I guess as long as he can sprint out (to where he can see) he could make passes then.

 

 

Drew Brees seems to have the same height disadvantage,,,,and he is doing alright.....so maybe it can be fixed.

I believe Vick's problem (and he just cost another Atlanta coach his job) is not his arm or his height---his problem is between his ears--he can't read defenses---plus he also seems to believe all his hype and press clippings. Does anyone remember when he had his own TV commercial a couple of years ago? In it, a young fan was hoisted up and dropped into a football game while Vick offered his comments. I had never seen a commercial using a player who wasn't even average at his position before that one. Now, the commercial is gone, and, if Petrino is wise, he will confront his "disposal problem" head on and give Schaub his shot.

I would not use the marketing folks agenda to rate Quarterbacks. That is a function of something other than QB ratings. That was about hype from his college days and potential....not actual performance.....and here is the stellar reason......they were trying to sell product.

I love it! When this thread was started, I was pretty much the only one saying that Vick was very overrated and battled it out with a few guys on here! But now people are starting to see that Vick is no more than a fast guy playing QB! I would not be one bit surprised to see Vick gone after next season! I will have to say if anyone can make him a decent QB it will be Petrino! I just dont never see him living up to the hype that has surrounded his career!

"Talking heads" say Petrino may keep him a yr. or less....

 

Height? Johnny Unitas was 6' tall.....did pretty well.

 

Vick is yet another running QB.....no legs....mediocre...

don't see many of them in a SB

He has a heck of an arm whenever he decided to use it. His decision making is his biggest problem.

      The New Word of the Day at Maryville High is Tuition.  Everytime the superintendent hears about the yellow paint on the football field he gets Tuition he could stick that can of paint up someone's behind.

      GoFundMe for Blackman Freshman with Spinal Cord Injury

      By mat73557 · Posted

      QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
