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.

had bad news stables never happened this was going to be a prove it year for vick.
it's laughable that people talk about him as a top tier qb. he made bad decisions and had no touch. was the line that bad in atlanta or did they just have no idea where their qb was? qb's like vick create chaos on both sides of the lines.
he "might" have been coachable enough to be a mcnabb level qb but i doubt we'll ever know.
building a team around his style is near impossible. that's a solo act.
great athlete. fun to watch. but a gm and coaches nightmare.
