Most guys on the waiver wire throw the ball better than Vick. You just can't judge Vick without considering the value of a QB who can pick up 1000 yards with his legs, because thats really the only reason you keep a guy like him around.

Harringtons a better passer than Vick, but I'd much rather have Vick on my team because hes a better player overall.

Neither is a top 32 QB in this league, IMO.

Wrong. They get the ball. The problem is they can't catch it. No team's starting wr's dropped more passes than Atl. Just cause your a high draft pick does not mean you can play. We as Redskins fans know this very well. Does anyone remember Desmond Howard, Michael Westbrook, Rod Gardner and Taylor Jacobs?

To say waiver wire guys throw better than Michael Vick is simply ridicules. Dude has a great quick release, has a very strong arm and throws a nice tight spiral. He's a great thrower, but he is not a great passer yet. But the only true target the guy has is Crumpler. He has never had a top notch wr and it shows. He has no confidence in his current wr's. It will be interesting to see how the new staff handles him.

That's a well debated first paragraph. I condede that point. Roddy White and Michael Jenkins probaly won't be much in this league no matter where they go.

I hold my position on the fact that the worst thing the Falcons can do is to try to bring in receivers to improve their passing offense. Vick completes such a low percentage (and yes some of that is drops--no more than 1-2% though because all receivers drop passes sometimes) But it's not rediculous at all to say that waiver wire guys pass better than Vick. The guy's never even come remotely close to putting up an average season throwing a football. You can't blame that on receivers. He reminds me of a guy making his first pro start every time he plays. He's got great athleticism, and gives his team a lot of points with his legs, but I'm guessing no more then he takes away with his inaccurate passes and questionable decision-making.
