[quote=skinsfaninok;980716]What did he say that was nonsense? Lol he's just giving his opinion on it.[/quote]

The comment about Vick in Atlants...just nonsense. He was phenomenal. Could have been better undoubtedly if he actually studied, practiced and worked on his passing game.

I'm all for opinions, such as my (incorrect) one that Shanahan would not have a winning season again. But the past can be fact checked.

yeah, Vick was a playmaker. first guy ever to get a road win in Green Bay in a playoff game. it was amazing. Vick still way behind as a passer in comparison to RG3.


Just my personal opinion, i dont like an ignore list. People should want to hear opinions no matter how crazy. Plus its funny when NC and Goat fight.

I agree. How hard is it to ignore something that's posted when you don't agree and can't mount a reasoned counter?

Vick completed a season in which he had a 100.0 passer rating 2 years ago. I'm hoping that his skills aren't starting to erode. He's certainly a player of value playing for a bad team. Once he moves on to his third NFL team, he might start playing better again.

teams who want to fill their stadium will give him a chance. Sleeper team is Oakland imo

Re: Around The NFL Week 17
 

i think that season may prove an outlier. I don't think he's terrible, but i don't think he's ever been nearly as game changing as all the hype.

atlanta season tickets went up over 25,000 seats after he was drafted though. so atlanta didn't make any kind of mistake in drafting him.

id get rid of rexy and put him in the backfield with RGthiz-erd, let them run the option together. vick can still move with the best of them.

Re: Around The NFL Week 17
 

Stud in Atlanta? Phenomenal? Sure, he was a stud at running the ball, but he was a absolute failure as a #1 QB. He couldn't touch Randall Cunningham's jock as a QB.

Let me ask you, are these the stats you expect to see from a guy being drafted #1 coming out of college to be your QB?

181 attempts
2065 yards
13 TDs
5 Ints


Had you told me the Redskins were going to draft a QB in the first round with these type of college stats I would drive to Landover and kick whoever drafted that person in the balls.

Vick was good at "making ESPN highlights" and "selling jerseys". His entire career in Atlanta, he surpassed 2,500 yards passing ONE time. Once and even then he didn't even manage 3,000 yards.

62,81,69,78,73,75

The above numbers are his QB rating numbers in Atlanta. Stud to you? Phenomenal? No, he was a flat out bust as a QB.

44,54,50,56,55,52

His completion percentage numbers above from his time in Atlanta. Stud? Phenomenal?

Vick was the best in the NFL at "making plays", but making plays doesn't win champsionships. Running the offense does. [I](These were the quote words used by Steve Young, but in reference to McNabb. Vick fits just as easily in this quote) [/I]

Much like Lohmiller, people's revision on Vick's history as a QB in Atlanta is much different than reality. :rolleyes:

Get suspended for a year, lose your team draft picks and end up rewarded with a brand new 5 year deal. MURICA!!!

The Giants announced details in a press release Friday afternoon, saying they were expecting a at least 200 students and 200 parents, faculty and family members to attend. They will be escorted onto the field by 50 members of the Wounded Warriors veterans group, participate in a pregame ceremony and then watch the 1 p.m. game.
On the field, the group from Sandy Hook and the Wounded Warriors will form two lanes — one for each team — and the players will run through the lanes onto the field, the release said. Then the players, coaches, Sandy Hook residents and Wounded Warriors will form a circle for a moment of silence and the national anthem. The Giants are also providing bus transportation for the Newtown group

Lol. Vick is terrible.

7-3 Bears and the Lions just fumbled at their 24 yard line.
