PFW - Whispers

i think vick is good and he is exciting to watch but he is , without a doubt, one of the most OVERRATED players in the nfl.

One thing about Vick, let's remember, he doesn't have any WRs. His best receiver is Crumpler (and he's great) but he doesn't exactly have many options in the passing game. As he gets older I think his passing game will get better and better.

How many HOF QBs made it without having at least above average receivers?

It's true that Vick doesn't have a lot of recieving threats (Finneran, Jenkins, and Price are just mediocre). But, he also had an sweet running game which should have made his average receivers look better. Also, with his feet requiring additional coverage, his recievers should have been able to get open and they did. Moreover, McNabb did more with less in Philly before TO, as did Brees in San Diego (who's receiving corps was far worse than ATL's), as did Kurt Warner (who's only receiver was Toomer), as did Brett Favre before Walker et al became good the past two seasons, and so on.

Not having good WRs isn't Vicks' problem right now, he just hasn't evolved into a complete QB yet who is able to scan the field properly and spread the ball around.
