You guys know where I stand as far as Vick goes. I took more heat than almost anyone on here on almost any topic when I made the claim a couple of years ago that Vick would return to be a top quarterback. Most people heckled and told me he wouldn't even start again, still I held strong and stood by my statement that Vick would once again return to the field and get significant play.

 

 

As a Vick fan it makes me happy to see all of this come full circle for him. I knew all along and tried to say all along that with the right attitude and work ethic Vick could still be great. I had always knew that he never really put full effort in his play. People told me that Vick couldn't come back because he was not a good passer and he wouldn't have his legs, or this and that, or blah, blah, blah. I always told people in response that Vick was the last one to practice and first to leave in ATL, and at that time didn't have much help (aging Warren Dunn/Peerless Price). Roddy White was almost a non factor when Vick was there, they drafted him to be the player he is now, but while Vick was there he was still maturing and not a high level wide out. Last year showed what a fully focused, fully dedicated Mike Vick could do weapons around him. It showcased what has IMO always been one of the best players in the league, a superstar talent. I am beyond happy to see him reach that level again (although it comes at the expense of playing for the Eagles). For all those who told me he wouldnt get back to starting again or told me he wasn't a good passer, well........ :lol:

Let us not pretend that Vick gave people much hope. You cannot laugh in everyone's face when even by your own admission he never put in the time or effort. You act as if people were stupid for believing he would not be what he once was or of the potential he never fully lived to. He has defied odds with his comeback. I could not be happier.

Perhaps Roddy White would have emerged earlier had Vick been more serious about being an NFL QB. I don't think any WR would have excelled with the Michael Vick we saw in Atlanta. He had the weapons offensively to be better than he was.

 

Dunn & Duckett was a solid duo in the backfield. Crumpler was a very good TE in his prime. And, he had some WR's with potential as mentioned. He could and should have been better.

How we lookin now Eagles?

Apparently 100 Million buys a lot of INTs.

I agree. Never was a big Vick fan and still am not, but the man has done everything right since his conviction. Including playing some pretty unimpressive football . . .

 

I fixed that for you.
