    For all the people that say "Vick is trash" or "Vick is a coach-killer" Take a look at this video and tell me how long Vick is in the pocket before he get's sacked? Rushers have Vick TOUCHED withing 2 seconds MAXhttp://www.zshare.net/video/vick_killed_by_oline-wmv.htmlAnd it's funny, Vick had a career year in Passing and ontop of that receivers dropped 7 potential touchdown passes yet people say Vick is regressing or Vick isn't good. Please.

    I don't think there is one person in the football world saying Vick isn't good. And you could still make that case for half of the other teams in the NFL, the best example being the Texans. I, with many others, still believe Carr is a great QB, he just needs a line. Those seven 'potential' touchdowns that WR's dropped, you think it was all their fault, or some of Vick's too? He puts no touch on teh football, just beams it, throws it as hard as he can so he seems cooler and better.

    That was all one game, against the team with the best Pass-Rushing Defensive Ends in the NFL IMO. What's the excuse for the other 15 games. [​IMG] As for drops, don't give me that. Your highest reciever ranked Tied for 18th in the NFL in Drops. http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders...ng&rank=232It was no more a problem for Vick then it was for any other Quarterback in the league. Not to mention watching that film it's no wonder your coaches got fired when they refused to take Vick out of his 5 and 7 step drops in favor of a 3 step drop to quickly release the football. I'm not saying the Offensive Line wasn't a problem, or the Recievers couldn't use improving, but it's not like Vick should go blame-free either. He has a declining Completion Percentage and Yards Per Attempt and his QB Rating has averaged off at a rather mediocre 75. He is what he is at this point, a Below-Average QB Passing the Football who makes up for it by being such a force in the Running Game. Good enough to win you some games and sell a boatload of tickets in the Process, but I can't see him actually winning in the Postseason until he takes some drastic steps in actually passing the football, as the good defenses don't fall for his circus act.

Some types of routes call for a little bit to be taken off the football to make it catchable and Vick does not do so.
