Yeah, he's no good. You'd know better than the people who vote for the Pro Bowl. And of course, just because he ran for 1000 yds doesn't mean anything.

And his 4 fumbles? BFD. Len Dawson fumbled 8 times in 1 game. He stunk too, huh?

I think he's good; you don't. I like Hialeah; you think it's a sh1thole. Oh well. Go try to win a race, ok?
Vick's selection to the Pro Bowl for the 2005 season was a controversial one, given that in addition to his 15 touchdown passes, he threw 13 interceptions, and that his 2,412 passing yards is extremely below average. Following Vick's Pro Bowl selection, sports columnist Tim Cowlishaw of the Dallas Morning News called Vick "the most overrated player in the league." Likewise, in an NFL season preview article in the August, 2006 issue of Maxim, the magazine's readers crowned Vick as "Most Overrated." A Sports Illustrated poll taken in 2005 also showed that the Vick is considered to the most overrated player in the NFL.


Vick was a novelty act. Basically an elusive running back who happened to have a rifle arm. He made bad decisions and used his legs to get him out of trouble. His tremendous athletic ability may have fooled some into thinking he was a good QB. But the stats and W/L records shows otherwise.
