    Vick Hype

    When will this hype around Michael Vick end? He is going to the Pro Bowl based on marketing and hype. Vick is exciting to watch, but going to Hawaii when guys like Aaron Brooks, Joey Harrington and Brian Grisese have better passing stats than you is a joke. Farve's numbers blow Vicks away but because Farve doesnt have a pair of nikes with his name on them, or a Farve Experience commercial, he will sit home and watch Vick pretend to know how to play QB. Vick is an amazing athlete one of the best in the NFL but enough is enough. Well maybe we will get the chance to watch Takeo spin Vicks head around.

    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    I have Vick on my fantasy team- one week he gets 19 points, and the next -2. To me, that demonstrates that he doesn't understand the position. Ever watch him? He moves around the field like crazy and makes some incredible runs and some incredible throws, but his judgement isn't good. And worst of all, he doesn't protect the damn ball. He hangs it out there in his left hand when he scrambles, which is why he fumbles all the time. It drives me absolutely insane that one of the most "hyped" athlete doesn't seem to understand the most fundamental aspect of the game: protecting the football.

        Vick is erratic. His passing numbers are modest at best but are bolstered by his rushing numbers. Still, as OpIv37 said, he does tend to make some poor decisions and has difficulty protecting the football. I think his decision making will only improve which will make him like McNabb in terms of athleticism AND the ability to direct an offense.

          Vick is a super athlete and potentially a great QB. He is not a Pro Bowler yet, however.
          Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

            Actually this could prove vick's worth. I know it's just one game, but he'll finally be operating behind an OL. A Pro-Bowl OL. Let's see what he can do.

              Andy Reid should start working on some plays for vick now.

                    Terrific tailback. A liability as a QB.
                    Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
                    And someone else said "Never mind!"

                      Vick has less business being named to the probowl than Bledsoe would have.



                      I demand Vick be recalled immediately or Bledsoe be added to the AFC!!

                          Overrated. A superior athlete shouldn't be the most sacked QB in the league. I'm surprised being thrown to the turf violently hasn't been added to the Michael Vick Experience yet.

                            Yay, I'm not the only one sick of all the Vick hype. It's true no one ever talks about his sacks, fumbles or negative plays, and he makes a lot of them. I hate how all the analysts at ESPN will always try there hardest to make excuses for him too. So many people act like he's the greatest player ever, but he just needs time to prove it. Until he does, people need to get over it.

                              An amazing athlete, yes. However, I don't know MVick personally, but he doesn't seem to be a leader at all. When he's in interviews, he seems sort of distant and slightly spaced out. He just doesn't give off the sort of persona that can rally the team and motivate them. This seems to go hand in hand with his type of play. He doesn't seem to want to rely on the team, but rather do it all himself, whether it be run or pass. ...just a thought.

                              I agree that, as of now, he has no business in the pro bowl. He still has some maturing to do imo.
