Wow. The Falcons definitely believe the hype.

Who received the largest contract in Bills history?
Moulds? Kelly?

[Marvelous]

I thought it was Mike Williams.

Peyton Manning is 10x the QB that Vick is ... thats ridiculous!

[Stewie]

I'm willing to bet Peyton Manning doesn't draw nearly as many fans to the stadium as Vick does, though.

Yeah thats true. But who is the better QB? Peyton. Peyton can read defenses. The reason Vick runs so much is because he cant read the defense and get a receiver open.

[SABURZFAN]

with the style that vick plays,he'll be lucky to have 10 more years left in the league.

The Falcons' front office is Nucking Futs!

He sells tickets, mechandise, etc. It was a smart business move, but not a great football move.

exactly...its amazing how much money you can get in the nfl if youre really fast and have a strong arm...you dont even have to be smart or accurate!

can you imagine how fans would take it if the front office let him go??

[DaBills]

Good thing he got it BEFORE he gets into the playoffs. When Sadlanta gets bounced early, all the fans will go, what just happened?



Plus, I don't think the 100 million is guaranteed like MLB or the NBA. And isn't a lot of it tied up in bonuses? Cap experts can correct me on that, but if Vick ultimately doesn't pan out, I don't see him staying with them for that money for 10 years.

I think Moulds and M. Williams both got pretty similar deals. 6 years, $38-40 million. I believe Mike got a bigger bonus though, at $11.5 million. Moulds' was less then $10 million, I think $8 million, or maybe it was 10...

Agreed!! Vick is way overrated!

I won't debate that I'd rather have Manning, but....Manning has been starting since 1998. Vick played 8 games in '01, 15 in '02, 5 in '03. This is the first full season he will be playing and it's under a new coach. Reading defenses takes time and experience, both things which he hasn't had much of. Still too early to tell but I wouldn't want to be the guy who didn't lock him up only to see him go to another team and become a star, e.g., like they did with Favre, probably the worst move in NFL history.

Dude. Vick with ALL OF HIS SEASONS COMBINED (4 years) doesnt have the ammount of TD passes Manning has just THIS YEAR ...

Vick has yet to have a season with a passer rating above 82.0 ... SIX out of Manning SEVEN (6/7) seasons he has had a 85.0 or above passer rating, with 4 of those seasons him posting a 90.0 or above passer rating.

Dont tell me it takes time. Vick has been in the league FOUR YEARS. In Mannings THIRD YEAR he had 33 touchdowns ... Vick - 13 ...

There is NO COMPARISON.
