NFL Pickem Week 3

Vick isnt as good as people think he is.
And he showed it last night.

I am pretty sure that his completion percentage was pretty low becuae of those dropped passes. Alge Crumpler dropped one in the endzone while he was wide open. Our punt team let a touchdown go.
I will say that they did somewhat shut down the run, but IMHO, he didn't run enough. There were many opportunities where he could have run where he didn't. They beat the Falcon's fair and square, but it doesnt mean that Vick is a bad QB and it doenst mean it was his fault either.

Thats your opinion.
I think that running QBs are not good at all.
being able to scramble is good yes.
but when you have more running yards then passing, there is something wrong there.

It's all just a different strategy and style of play. It's not wrong to play the game like that. They do quite well most of the time actually.

Also - Colts are awesome. Indianapolis won and had a lot of players that weren't able to play due to injury, shows just how great they are.

How many years in a row does Vick need to be a terrible passer until the mystique disappears and reality sets in?--Vick is a glorified RB and not a QB

He's had a rating of over 80 only once.

He's had an inordinately high number of turnovers, between fumbles and picks

His best completion percentage is 56%, which is pretty bad. Especially in the WCO which is based on high percentage passes.

Here's my $0.02

Vick is a great athlete. I doubt there is anyone who can argue that he isn't.
I agree that he is closer to a RB than a QB. a QB is most often a passer first and a runner second. What makes me think Vick is not a good QB is the fact that he can't learn/run a Pro-style offense. He doesn't/can't fit in the WCO. The Falcons have had to draw up some college-level plays for him to run. Now, to Vick's defense, his WR's are young and have underperformed. TE Alge Crumpler is probably his best pass receiver.
Either way, no matter what I think, the Falcons seem to find ways to win their fair share of games. And in the end, winning is all that matters in Pro sports.

FYI, since I missed Week 1, and coin flips aren't influenced by already knowing the results of games, I went back and did the coin flips for that week, and hit on 10 games. I've asked Ed to update my total to 29 for all three weeks combined. I'd like to keep a direct comparision between my results and those of the people who have participated every week.
