Ignatius J. Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 If you are not watching the game, turn it on. I never would have believed it, but one player can change a team. He is playing so well, it's sick. -DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuji869 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I am watching this game and we could be 4-9 at this point if we would have faced Michael Vick in Week 2. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 what did atlanta give up to draft him? whatever it was well worth the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Vick is just in a different universe... its like the other players are missing a couple upper gears in thier transmission. He just makes other players look BADBADBAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkeyBoy Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Yeah... he is playin so well... I mean, that pick he threw at the end of regulation, they way he set up his throw, and the way the ball came out was amazing. And his sub 50% completion rating is the gold standard. I like the guy alot... but you guys and ESPN make him seem like a god. I gotta let the air out of his ever growin head just a little by remindin everyone of his passing skills as of now. So he ran for around a buck fifty and got a TD, make him play RB then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 And the Chargers used those picks on LT (5th overall) and Drew Brees (in the 2nd round), I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Vick reminds me of an Elway and Farve type player. He makes everyone on the team play better because they feel as if they don't want to let him down. That defense tonight was awesome, and they have not played like that this year. I don't know what it is but he is special. Also for the poster that said stop the hype, well think of this this was his fist game back 150 passing 150 rushing and 2 tds, no he is not that good :doh: Joe T said it perfect, once teams are afraid of his arm then he will be complete.

NavyDave Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 stop hating monkeyboy Vick is in essence playing the preseason, and thru the rust is looking impressive. A healthy Dunn, chemistry with peerless price and crumpler will make this team a contender in 2k4 and they are getting a high pick. Then they are in position to woo hometown boy champ to solidify the secondary or grab another WR like Owens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halter91 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Vick is hands down the MOST excitring player in the league. I'm glad he was out against us. He just makes people look stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Vick is not a great QB yet. Hell, he's not really even a GOOD QB. But, he's the best player in football. He's the biggest game changing player in the league. He's one guy who can turn a terrible team into something immensely better because he brings a dimension no one else does. Now, how good he'll be when he starts to lose his speed through leg injuries we'll know in a few years. Right now though Vick is a dangerous weapon.

Skeletor The Invincible Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Personally, I don't see the Vick/Sanders comparisons. Vick is more of a straightline runner while Sanders was all over the place. Vick may be able to change directions quickly, but come on, he ain't no Barry Sanders.

NavyDave Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Watch those old Va tech games or that long run last night to see the reason for the comparisons, though vick isnt gonna lose 7 yds running one play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Yeah... he is playin so well... I mean, that pick he threw at the end of regulation, they way he set up his throw, and the way the ball came out was amazing. And his sub 50% completion rating is the gold standard. Thank you for that fine forensic analysis. :doh: The guy is a men among boys in terms of physical skills. His legs and feet are the best in the NFL.. probably ever. His arm argueably can be placed with Farve's... Marino's.... and Elway's. I liked what Joey T said, not only is he an above average QB (when he knocks the rust off), but he's already the best running back in the NFL. His speed, vision, and feet are better than any running back in the league. That's scary!!!! Yes, we'd be 4-9 if he'd been healthy week #2. Once he knocks the rust off and has another full minicamp, training camp, and preseason.... lookout league. Their nucleous is alarming..... Price.... Crumpler.... Dunn/Duckett.....Griffin (FB).... and Vick. Goodgooglymoogly!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 EvilMonkey has some good points. There is no doubt that Vick is the best athlete in the NFL. Hands down. I get the feeling that he is the type of player that is going to be neutralized for at least half the games he plays. Teams are going to force him to throw to beat them and he will not be able to. He may improve (I'm sure he will) but right now, he's a below-average QB and an incredible runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost the same freaking team. They even added a weapon (Price) at wideout. Vick is awesome, he's just as fast as the best tailbacks in the NFL and his arm is like Favre in his prime -- a cannon! I wish he was on my team. He has only played one complete season, if he can avoid the injuries he's going to receive with all that scrambling, he is going to be one special player to watch.
