I used to live in ATL when Vick was in his prime and have to laugh when i heard the revisionist history in regards to Vick.
Vick was soo talented that he took his team to the NFC title game on little more then sheer athletic ability alone.
Vick was not a disciplined QB and he was still effective.

Now that he's actually trying to improve his passing and working on his craft as a QB with a competent teacher be afraid be very afriad he's much more of a threat then the Kolb lead Eagles.

2 things:
o using Landry as a spy (or any defender for that matter) weakens the defense
that's one of the worries of dealing with Vick
o Landry might be able to hang with Vick in terms of long speed but Vick is in another league in terms of quickness and agility
