Vick apologizes

[Slammin Bran 23]

He still sux!

Michael Vick is one of the best players in the NFL.
If you watch the games, their receivers drop about 10 passes a game.
Because their receivers can't catch, let alone get open, Vick is forced to run because the O-line can't hold the D-line. I watch.

Vick played his hardest, and a someone said he sucks, I'd be mad to. He just showed it the wrong way. Vick made like 2 or 3 Pro-bowls.

I hate hearing " Vick sucks."

Ron Mexico is the single most over rated player in the NFL today. Easily.

Michael Vick is one of the best athletes in the NFL. This is true.

But stop making excuses for this dud. It appears that Vince Young is getting a better grip of the NFL than Vick.

Vick losing his team each year, each game. Its almost over for him.

Vick is totally overrated. I've always said it. He's a spectacular RB--who throws a little. He's been coddled & ***-kissed from Day 1 by the NFL. It gets really tiresome listening to all the announcers making excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse for him.

Anyway, Jason Whitlock had a very interesting column on AOL about him. (Jason was on ESPN, but had a falling out with Mike Lupica, who then had him banned from ESPN.)

10. Michael Vick, coach killer? Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you, Jim Mora Sr.

A coach killer needs three ingredients: 1. a fat contract; 2. more potential than work ethic; 3. a passionate group of enablers willing to rationalize any and every shortcoming.

Vick has all that and more. He’s a black quarterback playing in a predominantly black city filled with unsophisticated football fans who view any criticism of Vick as racism. Vick will never reach his potential because Jim Mora Jr. is handcuffed by racial politics, and he’s forced to pamper Vick.

That’s why Mora Jr.’s daddy, Jim Sr., agreed with his radio co-host who described Vick as a coach killer. Now I don’t want to put words in Jim Mora Sr.’s mouth. I’m sure he doesn’t want to publicly touch the racial elements of Vick’s underachievement.

I do.

For the last three years, I’ve been hammered by Atlanta sports fans for my constant criticism of Vick. I’ve been called an Uncle Tom. I’ve been called a white racist by e-mailers unaware of my skin color.

You can blame suspect play-calling, poor receivers and an average offensive line for Atlanta’s woes, but most of the blame should be directed at the guy with the $140-million contract and the most raw talent since John Elway. Despite Dan Reaves, terrible receivers, average running backs and a mediocre offensive line, Elway carried the Broncos to three Super Bowls in his first seven seasons.

Denver fans were on Elway’s *** damn near his entire career, and Elway is/was the greatest player ever to play the game.

Meanwhile in Atlanta, Vick, a six-year vet, is being pampered into mediocrity. The fact that he doesn’t do the little things – constant film study, attention to footwork, leadership – is rarely addressed by the national or local media.

Vick is exciting. He runs around in the pocket, sells tickets and is the greatest Madden video game quarterback in the history of Playstation. That, along with a 117-yard passing effort in a 2002 playoff victory at Green Bay, seems to be good enough for Vick’s groupies.

Not for me.

Michael Vick will never reach his potential. Atlanta football fans, a $140-million contract and racial politics have spoiled a great talent.

Vick should go to that guy's job, and heckle him

[playmakers]

Today was not his fault, Roddy White dropped a wide open 60 yard pass. Jenkins dropped 3 passes, he has no recievers. Put him on our team and our team would be freaky. I think he is worth 130 million on the right team, the Falcons are not one of them. He had 170 rushng yards today and he close to a 1000 for the season.

 

[cowboys19]

There were a few drive killer drops by the wr's.

Whitlock is actually pretty good. He was the best part of "Sports Reporters" until Lupica got him banned (because he didn't suck up to Lupica). He's written for the Kansas City paper for 16 years. I've always found him to have an interesting perspective on things--I don't always agree with him, but he's thought-provoking.

Be honest. If that had been Bledsoe, losing 4 games in a row, you KNOW what you'd be saying about him!! And what reporters would be writing about him. Plummer is apparently being replaced in Denver for doing poorly--but he's still done better than Vick. Why does Vick somehow get a pass? He's not off-limits for criticism.

that was actually a 'Seinfeld' reference, the episode where Jerry gets heckled by Kramer's date at his stand-up, so he decides to heckle her at Pendant Publishing, and she runs out crying, and gets her toe severed by a truck

 

[DragonCowboy]

Well Vick is overrated, but I really don't understand this total hate for him. (Then again, I knew nothign about the Herpes).

I've gotta say, watching the New Orleans game, that Vick actually seemed to be trying, when he got the ball to his receivers, they just dropped it. The runningbacks stalled inside the 20-yard line.

Yeah, Vick might've lost some games for Atlanta, but you can't blame this loss on him.

He was trying hard to do everything he could, he got annoyed by fans, and he wrongfully showed his anger in an unacceptable way.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Hmm, I'm trying to understand why people can't see Vick's receivers are iffy at best. I by no means condone the actions he took in the heat of the moment but at the same time you can't help but wonder what more can the guy do if the receivers continue to drop passes......bottom line is Vick doesn't suck.

As an NFL passer, yes he most certainly DOES suck.

Roddy White certainly wasn't doing anything to help Vick out. Vick singlehandedly kept them in that game today. Well not quite singlehandedly, gotta give Dunn credit too.

 

[EastDallasCowboy]

I too disagree that Vick sucks.

But I do agree that too often he gets a pass, and being black is a big part of that....let's all be honest.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Vick is the reason why the Falcons win majority of the time, you're crazy the guy doesn't suck...

Yes, he does.

Most overrated player in NFL history. And that's saying a lot.
