REZ Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I think I'm sitting him down. Two weeks in a row with Vick as has really hurt his numbers. I'm leaving points on my bench by playing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothus Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 No, he's been Vicked. They should change the cursing sensor on the forum to Vick. As in: Antonio got Vicked last night. I lost by two Vicking points because Brown wasn't targeted It's really Vicky that my season is going down the tubes since Big Ben out 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do Work Son Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I was just thinking this last night. With Vick at qb he's no longer a lock. I might sit him in my ppr league next week(crazy). Vick scrambles too much and looks for dump offs. Looks like as long as Ben is out they are a run 1st team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelmastr21 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 He hasn't been a lock for 2 weeks. Vick blows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Maybe if your league gives points for punt / ko return yards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Unless you're in an 8 team league you don't sit this guy. This is way reactionary. Yes, he has not done well with Vick, but I'd never sit him barring injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REZ Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 I don't think it is. It's clear their scheme has changed drastically. I think I have betier options then him sitting on my bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he has not done well with Vick, but I'd never sit him barring injury. absolutely sit him . The greatest WR in the world cant do it alone and right now he is alone in large part because of Vick . no reason to make him untouchable and after last night its even clearer . Sit him till Ben gets back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebby Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I would start him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Steelers looked like they didn't even want to let Vick throw the ball at times last night. So it isn't just Vick being NOT BEN and all that, its the change in philosophy and a fear of throwing. (I only watched the first half, but recall a series late where they looked like they were just trying to kill the clock and not even try to gain yards or score.)

the outlaw Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 but, when Vick does throw, it seems he's locked-in on stupid Heyward-Bey (at least in the very limited amount of time I've seen any of the games since Big Ben went down - I did see the Brown drop in the end zone the first game Vick started, so maybe that's why?)...I don't know, it's just really bizarre that either he (Vick), Haley, or Tomlin are not utilizing their 2nd best weapon (behind Bell)...Vick still seems to have the arm strength to chuck the ball downfield, at least from what I saw on that comeback drive last night...

byroz Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 it seems like they play super conservative with vick at the helm. and it looks like vick is trying too hard not to mess up and not take risks qbs normally would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This may be a little out there but I think Brown's size has a lot to do with it. Brown is a small, fast guy and Vick has a career 55% completion percentage. Vick can't get him the ball because he can't make the throws. He is throwing to Heyward-Bay more because he is a bigger target and Vick can just throw it near him and let him get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doobwaa Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I would find it hard to sit Brown with my grandmother at QB .... and she's got a bum shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Well I think it is pretty evident that Vick is not a great throwing QB. I think PIT knows this and will develop game plans that focus more on running the ball and heavy defense. I think that means if you have a viable alternative it is not unthinkable to sit ABrown. I know if I owned ABrown and sat him he would make me pay ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
