And as I've said before, once teams finally figured out that Vick couldn't pass the proverbial jig was up. Vick's success early on hinged on the fact that 1. he was protected with a running game and 2. teams actually believed they had to defend against the pass and the run. Once teams realized he was a subpar passer they started stacking the box and playing corners in a cover 2 zone and it was then we saw that Vick was nothing more then a running back that could throw the ball a little better then your average 3rd string QB.
