The Vick Factor

[SBXVII]

One or two trick plays are sometimes what takes a team to the SB. Gibbs in his first stint always had atleast 2 trick plays waiting to be used during a game. No one says you have to use them, but nice to have if the game is starting to swing against you or your team needs a spark.

I was never as fond of MV as a lot of people were. I too felt he ran way too much and failed to stand in the pocket and deliver the ball. One writer may have pointed out his reason for doing so and that was cause he was only 5ft 9inch and had a hard time seeing over the O-lineman. I think Colt will have the same problem but for whatever reason he is the next Favre.

I don't think he would out shine JC cause of two reasons. One is cause he would have to get back into football shape and the second being he would have to learn the plays. JC has one yr in the same offense. Zorn can now put more plays in the book. I would have to think having to teach the coach's, then the players, then coach the QB's, and still be a HC for the whole team as well as build a workout program and schedule is a lot to ask. Everyone says the team is light yrs ahead from last yr so hopefully with the team having the basics down and putting more plays in and hopefully having more WR's to throw to plus a healthy O-line they will look a lot better.

No matter what talent wise I would have to take MV over Collins. MV is more mobile. plus again having one or two trick plays up the sleeve would keep defenses honest.
