PantherDave Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) During the process of the draft, I heard that Atlanta may look at old VT film to find some play's where Vick would be more apt to succeed? Mr. Mexico has had this particular play-book for 3 years now, also when he was out for the majority of 03, seems like he had plenty of time to absorb the information????

cliaz Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 During the process of the draft, I heard that Atlanta may look at old VT film to find some play's where Vick would be more apt to succeed? Mr. Mexico has had this particular play-book for 3 years now, also when he was out for the majority of 03, seems like he had plenty of time to absorb the information???? 1447087[/snapback] Ever since he was drafted I've said he is vastly over rated as a Qb and that people are up on his jock because he can run, dip and dodge and is fast. Personally I think Vick isn't NFL QB material. He should have been placed in a RB role. I got into a debate at work over this. The dude that sits next to me was like "Well, does he lead his team to a victory?" yes he can but on his legs, not his arm. If he can't after 3 years know his own play book and the team may have to look back to old VT footage, then cut him, trade him, put him as a back up QB. I understand that teams are looking for a QB that can move, but to pick on at the cost of a good passing QB is just plain stupid (in my opinion of course.)

PantherDave Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Especially since that playbook was-shotgun formation, lock onto one WR, if he's covered, tuck and run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 ahaha I'm not fishing...I truly believe this.. 1447469[/snapback] If in 3 years he is no better it may be th end of running QB's like them. The Titans do have McNair who succeeded after starting as a running QB to hope for, but then he threw something like 53 TD's and put up 6000 yds his final season in college.

PantherDave Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 The jist of it was this-"Vick claims if he was put in shotgun formation, he would be a better passer." Ahhh, if your feet and speed are your assets, then why is the 3 step or 5 step drop, then set and read and throw so difficult. Bottom line is this, in my opinion, he wants to be PM and be able to call his own plays, however, PM equals good decisions and check downs-Vick equals......sandlot. Just one man's opinion and nothing more-don't think I'm to far off the bullseye though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 (McNair) threw something like 53 TD's and put up 6000 yds his final season in college. 1447530[/snapback] Yes he did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sold on Leinert either, but he has too many weapons to not be good....he can't be any worse than McCown was... and Cutler is on a sound team with Rod Smith and Javon walker...and one of the best rushing attacks in the game.....his situation reminds me of Big Ben's when he came out...but I think Cutler has more talent in regards to putting up fantasy points....Big Ben has tremendous smarts...
