I guess Stillin's point about casual fans was true and this thread is proof, but nonetheless stats aside you can't discredit this mans impact on others.
It's evident by the respect he gets from his peers. Players from the opposing team were coming up to him for autographs after games when he was in Philly.
If you've even been to the Georgia Dome when Vick was in town, the love this dude gets is unreal, Matty Ice wishes he could get that kind of love from fans.
To me he's the most polarizing football player since Bo Jackson, I'd put his star power over Emmit, Barry, Deion and Randy.
I mean lets be real this wouldnt even be a thread if Vick didnt have some type of influence. And it's not like we're not gonna discount (triple negative!) the fact that you see athletic QBs on every level wear the number 7. There may not be any tangible evidence that shows Vick affected how athletic QBs are drafted and evaluated in todays NFL but to say he has zero influence would just be wrong
cats really think GM's are like...
"He could be the next Michael Vick; we have to draft him"
Dudes obviously have some animosity towards vick if they think career achievements = influence
Ask any black kid growing up in the early 2000s who there fav football player was
I'm not even saying it accomplishment wise but mike Vicks impact on the young inner city kids in his time was ai like. Dude had everybody trying out for our football team in hs trynna play qb. Hell our qb who eventually got signed by the lions for a season swore he was son. I remember this dude went around making a killing selling these shirts he made wit Vick juking a defender and said vicktimized on the bottom. Dont sit here and act like dudes ain't wanna be Vick when we were young and lost.
So now you're changing your argument from "Jordan of black QB in terms of influence" and you "can't deny his influence on black players" and "there would be no Kaepernick, Cam, RG3 without him"
to
he was the most popular amongst black youth.
Oh okay b, strong statement change.
nobody was ever denying his popularity, but rather his impact and influence on the QBs of today.
cats really think GM's are like...
"He could be the next Michael Vick; we have to draft him"
Cats in here like "he had a terrible completion percentage... So he wasn't influential"
Y'all ****** tripping.
You couldn't wait to see what Vick did on Sundays. Had people holding their breath every time he dropped back to pass...
Mobile quarterbacks in college didnt take off until the early 2000s
You had a few doing it from a triple option standpoint...
But not like it is now.
Vick had nothing to do with that, though.
All coincidence.
Vick = Shawm Kemp
IDC about son achievements or accomplishments I'm not a ride or die fan. Hell at the time I had just gotten into the NFL for real but it was 2 players u knew of that was mike Vick and randy moss. When everybody in our neighborhood get a game of hoops going we was crossing over like ai when we brought the football out the qb was running like Vick. Point is son had crazy influence in the early 2000s had me buying NFL street just to run with atl
Had his own apparel, commercials, fun to watch= mj of black qbs
He had it all as a black qb, how wouldnt that influence a up & coming black qb
This whole post.
Who in here is denying he wasn't athletic? He had jaw-dropping plays RUNNING the ball, but that's about it. What people are saying is that he was overrated and not very good as a QB.
A lot of you guys keep trying to move the goal posts (no pun) with this vick discussion. Mobile QBs in college didn't take off until Vick changed the landscape of the game! Riiiiiiight
