I agree... GO FALCONS!!!

i have always said that mobile quarterbacks don't work. they may do good in a season they may even make it to the NFC championship game. but have you seen one win a super bowl. and by mobile quarterback i mean that they run more then they throw. Vick will not last as long other...non running quarterbacks in the league. i mean look at mcnabb...hey was all like ooooo imma run all over the place...then he realized that throwing for 300 yards and 3 tds is better then running for 100 and a td and only throwing for 100 and a td and maybe not even throwing a td. and yes he may have thrown for 66%of his passes but thats easy wen you only throw 20 times a game if that.

This west coast offense that the Falcons are running first off doesn't allow Vick to throw for many yards. Also, the Falcons call many more run plays than passing plays. Vick only had 15 attempts to throw the ball. I am sure if he had like 30 attempts he would have doubled his total.
Donovan McNabb 1-1
Michael Vick 2-0 (with 6 fg's missed)
Vick did not get hit very much yesterday either. I can only recall him getting hit like twice. And one time was a sack. usually he just runs out of bounds now that Grady Jackson informed Vick that other teams are told to hurt Vick if htey have a chance to.
By the way, Steve Young, he won a few superbowls...

You mean a running QB. A mobile QB would be guys like Donovan McNabb or Tom Brady. Someone who can move around in the pocket and avoid the rush.
