W/out question they're better off with Matt Ryan.

I don't understand your position. Vick is a quality qb and a playmaker that should start in the league. But the team that was built for and around him is better off with a second year qb? If he has the talent to be a playmaker, then Atlanta should be his best chance. Everywhere else he is being patched in to overcome another qb's deficiencies. (the Falcons are only 1 year removed from Vick, so they have not changed their player structure that much)

atlanta is better suited with a passing qb, they were trying to make vick become more of a passing qb but it was not working. ryan is a great passer, therefor, a better fit for the falcons offense.

Wow, I would have thought EVERY team is better suited with a passing quarterback, and you imply that Vick could not become a passing qb. Therefore, I would say Vick is not the best suited qb for any offense. Is McNabb NOT a passing qb? It is fine to be a qb that can run, or pressure the D that way, but unless a team wants a qb to handoff every time he has to be a passing qb. Vick never got that, and I doubt playing yardball for the last year or so, would have helped his game any. But then, Minnesota is talking to Favre so, hey, I'll believe anything.

sorry, i should have been more specific. a GOOD passing qb. vick was not a good passing qb. he was great at running but struggled at passing.

Atlanta has moved on and gone in a different direction. They've invested in Matt Ryan. And Vick has burned his bridges in Atlanta by lying to the owner. He'll never play there again. But SF might be a place for him. Or maybe Mora will take him back in Seattle to back up Hassleback. He's got Vick's old OC there so we'll see.
