Oh and don't forget about the 1,000 rushing yards. Should Grossman be a starting QB in the NFL? Don't call me a hypocrite before I have even said anything about Grossman vs. Vick.

Goopster24 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 And you can knock Grossman all you want, but the fact remains that he was the QB on a team that went to a Super Bowl. That doesn't just happen. He had the most 100 passer rating games in the NFL last season. Granted he had some of the lowest too, but that was essentially his rookie season. His "rookie" season was better than Peyton Manning's and many other great quarterbacks. The book has yet to be written on Rex totally. I think we have seen a lot of Vick to understand what he can and can't do at this juncture in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 It is about Grossman in that, like Goop, you'd be one hell of a hypocrite to join in the Vick debate over his abilities as a QB. Actually, it's YOU who are the hypocrite: you bring Grossman up to derail the Vick thread. You do so with your smilie icon, thereby expressively laughing at his performance. Yet the D stats you just posted show something: with similar defensive teams, Rex was the QB who went to the Super Bowl, whereas Vick has not. Vick has had 3 more healthy season to do so. And we all now your Vick's biggest sack leach on this board. So how can you be so high on him, yet laugh at a QB who has accomplished more than Vick has? Here's the answer: hypocrisy. Since you like that word so much the show plainly fits in this case. Oh yeah - where have I posed anything in this thread or elsewhere that disparages Vick's QB abilities?

Crazysight Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Rexy had better step his game up this year. His upcoming schedule is significantly more challenging than the one he had last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is in a contract year too. What is new? He will be under the microscope once again. Should be an interesting year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Oh, that's crap. One player has nothing to do with the other. Vicks merits/flaws are not related to Grossman's at all. Trying to link them is a sign that your argument is COMPLETELY weak. Ding, ding, ding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to link them is a sign that your argument is COMPLETELY weak. Goop had part in the Vick as a receiver statement so I made a comment back and it went on from there... My argument.... I've been arguing Vick's abilities as a QB for twenty or so threads, including probably somewhere in this thread. Why is everyone so quick to jump on Vick's back? I'm sick of arguing that he's a good QB. There's plenty of threads before this that do that. Alright I set it up perfect now let's all go back and forth about Vick. I've got an idea though. How about I'll go on about Vick's flaws and you guys search for some positives. Loses faith in his line quick and looks to the run sometimes to soon. Has about 2-3 balls a game that bounce at ankles or soar over heads. Of course the off-field, but still has the respect of his team. It's worth a shot.

I was definetely a hypocrite when I mentioned Grossman. Hell the team made it a hell of a lot further than the Falcons. Maybe you need to look at those ranks again they were far from similar IMO, even though I'd agree that it was a team effort to get Atlanta to the NFC Championship. Pope I didn't say you did. I said if you were to. ...and Goop he also had 5 games under a 40 passer rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were winning in spite of Vick, not because of him. The biggest win of his career most people would say is the one against the Packers at Lambeau Field. In that game, the defense forced three fumbles, had two interceptions, and blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. Vick in that game had only 117 passing yards and barely completed a little over 50% of his passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who led the offense on their 76 and 90 yard drives. Yes the defense AND ST played great and the Falcons won 27-7. BTW I've said before what Vick does for the running game... In spite of Vick, how so? Edited June 16, 2007 by broncosn05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I do remember the weather in that game. Basically like all outdoor games at that time here in the midwest. And it is easy to lead drives like that when you just turn around and hand the ball off. When your quarterback barely throws over 50 percent, then the rest of your team better play well. They did. I'll that take as a reason they won in spite of him. Edited June 16, 2007 by Goopster24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's this stat sheet that you are looking at? I know he rushed for 64 yards and remember watching that game and Madden praising him every play. I just want to see it to compare offenses. It's also interesting that you leave out the fact that Ahman Green and Terry Glenn didn't play to push your point of the greatness of the Falcons D. Then again maybe your slowly becoming a Falcon fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
