I agree that taking Vick out of the lineup kills the Falcons, but some of that has to fall on the GM. When Vick was hurt two years ago, their backup was Doug Johnson. I believe the player personnel staff in Atlanta has made a choice to insure there will never be a QB controversy by failing to back Vick up properly. For example, if Vick goes down this year, his likely backup is Matt Schaub, who in six games of mop up duty got himself a 42.1 QB rating. Not much chance to push Vick to greatness.
