Plus he was playing on a stacked team. Look at who Vick had to throw to, Crumpler and a bunch of bums that couldn't catch a cold. Not to mention when Mora came and installed the WCO it was the worst possible fit for Vick (cannon arm, lacks touch on short throws). I'm not gonna say Vick was a great passer because he definitely wasn't, but given the surrounding talent and the ill-fitting system, he did pretty well.
this dude just tried to compare vick and aikman ... ive seen it all ... do you understand that the most important stat for a qb is completion % followed by td to int ratio? get the hell outta here with that rahtarded bs ... aikman has 3 super bowls and was the most accurate passer of all time, dude moved the chains ... i will never take anything you say about football seriously again ...
edit... and i knew jetpac was a homer, but i didnt know he was an idiot too ... dudes in here puttin vick up there with aikman ... lmao ... ... ...
seriously
I'm not saying Vick is as good as Aikman is (though I will always go out of my way to point out that he was overrated). Yes, he had a high completion percentage, but that all important TD:INT ratio you bring up was not Aikman's strong suit. For his career he threw 165 TD's to 141 interceptions. So yea...go look up Aikman's passing numbers and get back to me
yourself.
Not to mention Aikman played with Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, and a bunch of HOF'ers on the offensive line. Of course he's a proven winner. If Vick had a HOF offensive line and receivers in Atlanta he'd be a proven winner too.
The two years he started at VT he only lost two games. In 1999 as a Redshirt Freshman he took VT to the national title game while being in charge of the #1 scoring offense in the country.
His first year as a full time starter he takes the Falcons to the playoffs and wins at Lambeau when nobody has won there in a bajillion years. He also took the Falcons to the NFC Championship game. Things went downhill after the WCO came to Atlanta, but while Vick's attitude was partly to blame for that, it's not like he was the reason they became a losing team.
