i know what the thread is about, it's about Vick being a "Golden God" which i'm pretty sure he has never proven to be true... the primary position of the QB is to lead the team and distribute/pass the ball to his teammates... if he can run then that is good too... well Vick has only proven to be good at one of the two, and unfortunately, it's the least important of the 3 10/1/2006 8:58:52 PM |

^If Vick had 0 passing yards every game, then you would have an argument. You act like he doesn't pass tha ball any during a game.

There has never been a QB in the league like Vick before.
He can afford to be below average at passing because he makes up for it in other ways.

Kevin Greene SUCKED at tackling and he won NFL Defensive MVP in '96.
You don't have to be great at every element of the game to be good.
Peyton Manning is a BAD rushing QB, but he's still the best QB in the game.
Shaun Alexander is not a good passing RB, but he's still an elite RB.
Jerry Rice was never a good tackling WR, but he's still clearly the best WR ever. 10/1/2006 9:07:58 PM |

is TACKLING the least important element of being a linebacker?????????????????/
I would say its the most important element.
And KEvin Greene was awful at it. He wasnt below average, he was awful. And yet he won NFL Defensive MVP!
I mean jesus what more can i say. He got defensive MVP and he sucked at tackling.
Why? Because he was such a ferocious pass rusher that it offset the fact that he couldnt tackle ANYONE.
I mean seriously how do you get 14.5 sacks in a season and only record 40 tackles. Nearly half of his freaking tackles were sacks...
Who cares if half of Vick's yards are rushing?
And btw, Crumpler had another three drops today... QB's dont catch their own passes... 10/1/2006 9:12:01 PM |

this thread isn't about linebackers...totally different position then QB and not comparable... if Vick wins more then 8-9 games this year and takes his team deep into the playoffs you will BEGIN to have an argument, until then, you don't have a leg to stand on! 10/1/2006 9:13:50 PM |

Vick isn't horrible...he just isn't close to being as good as rally and dicktuck are saying he is.
He's crazy athletic and creates matchup problems...but when a decent defensive team puts together a gameplan to beat him, he can be stopped pretty easily. BECAUSE HE CAN'T PASS THE BALL. Once you contain him in the run, he's screwed. It's a lot easier to contain one mobile QB who is a below-average passer than 4-6 WRs and a guy who can get the ball to them.
Vick will never be a great NFL QB and I doubt he'll ever lead his team to a Super Bowl. When he gets to the playoffs and goes against great defense, he'll be screwed. 10/1/2006 9:19:41 PM |
rallydurham Suspended 11317 Posts user info edit post |
well he's not going to win a Super Bowl on the shitty ass team he's on now.
But if you put a guy like Drew Bledsoe at QB for Atlanta they'd go 4-12.
With Vick they go 10-6.... or even 13-3 one year i believe
He can take a bad team and make them good.
It remains to be seen if he could make a good team great. I have no idea, he's never played on a good team.
All i know is that his records and accomplishments so early in his career speaks for itself

well since the Panthers were/are favorites to go to the Super Bowl, I would say they are pretty decent and he has been owning them for years, so they should be used to him by now, and they couldn't even stop him. And Vick has gone to the playoffs, and he has gotten far. Until Peyton makes a SB, don't even argue about going there. Vick has gotten as deep as Peyton and as many times in a shorter amount of time.

He's less effective at the pass than at the run.
That's the exact opposite of every other starting QB in the NFL.
Vick is good at moving around and running around and handing off. If that's all the Falcons needed from him (ie, they were running the '95 Nebraska offense) then that would justify his being considered a "great" quarterback.
However, that is averaged out by his marginal passing skills. Like I've explained before, when he goes against the best of the best in the playoffs he's gonna need to have more in his arsenal than just an ability to run around. 10/1/2006 9:24:19 PM |

ill readily admit i exaggerate how good he is.
But thats because people say he's a bad QB.
When he's clearly a top 10 QB and id still rank him as a top 5 QB.

You know like when NC State beat all of the NCAA basketball champions three years in a row...I mean they were practically the best team in college basketball 4 years running.

The reason ppl hate him is because people try to make him out to be better than he is... "Golden God". he is a decent QB but I would not but him in the top 5. You can't make the argument that someone is a great QB while at the sametime saying they have below average passing skills.
Also hes not that revolutionary, hes not the first running QB and he wont be the last. 10/1/2006 9:32:26 PM |

I really hope you didnt count the games in '01 whne they used him for running plays.
His first year as a starter was '02
When he doesnt start they are like 2-10 and when he does they are well over .500
he's won a road playoff game AT LAMBEAU
He's made an NFC Championship
He's posted a 13-3 regular season.

any team playing w/out their starting QB has a much worse record.... and I'm not arguing he doesn't have skills, just that he isn't a "Golden God" and the stats I provided prove that, a "Golden God" would be much higher above .500 and have more then 1 playoff win!
