NFL Pickem Week 2

[santosh]

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.

My biggest complaint with Vick is he doesn't stay in the pocket to make a pass. Smart Defenses will work on keeping him in the center of the field and preventing him from outside movement. I really think Vick should decide to become a running back. The Falcons could set their team up like this-Matt Schaub QB, Vick-Hybrid RB, Warrick Dunn-RB. Schaub would run the offense primairily and they would move Vick around RB and QB switching by play, think Pittsburgh an Randle El only with a running back.

They're paying Vick too much for him to be anything but a QB.

Plus, there's no way he lasts in the league if he takes the kinds of hits a RB takes every play.

Yeah. Michael Vick is getting $100 million+
His job is to help the Falcon's win the game.
Last season when he had his highest passing total, they lost.... to Green Bay.
Vick has had a coupl plays in which he lined up as a WR. He isn't the tallest player in the world.
Trust me, no one in Atlanta would ever want him to be a running back. Everytime he gets hit, everyone in the dome holds their breath till he gets up for obvious reasons.
Thes smart defenses you speak of. The Panthers are supposed to be a good smart defense. They didn't look too hot last week.

The Canadian quarter flip beat four players and tied 4 others. I think he has a future in game prognostication. He shall return for another week.

Sunday
Buffalo at Miami Culpepper will be more focused and be a better second half QB this game
Carolina at Minnesota trow williamson will be the sext moss over in minnesota
Cleveland at Cincinnati need i say anything?
Detroit at Chicago people underestimate detroit here in this match-up. their offence sucks but they have one of the best defence in the league after holding the NFL MVP to only 51 yards rushing. so if our offence can score at least one TD..i think they will win.
Houston at Indianapolis ...
New Orleans at Green Bay Farve threw for 27 TDs last year. that was i think for third best in the league behind carson palmer and payton manning. but he also threw for 27 ints....i think it will be one of those games were he throws an ungodly amont of times and gets 4 TD and 4 ints.
N.Y. Giants at Philadelphia Eli will be the better QB this game for the fact that the G-Men are a much better team the Phili. Philadelphia is very very over rated and will come out of this game with an L
Oakland at Baltimore McNair will crush the weak Oakland D and it saddens me to say that because i am a huge oakland fan...i even painted my old room silver and black.
Tampa Bay at Atlanta Tampa will bounce back this game and score big. they will compensate for them laying a huge goose egg last week. atlanta will be the goose this gamw
Arizona at Seattle this will be a very big upset. but it will be done. Seattle will start the year off 0-2. Kurt warner has too many weapons around him to not throw for 300 yards and 3 TDs this game.
St. Louis at San Francisco The 49ers will score big this game with Frank Gore as thier running back. and so will the Rams. this will be a touchdown throwig mad house today
Kansas City at Denver denver and kansas city both had horrific games last week and will both bounce back. but denver has a much stronger D and will win this game by a feild goal
New England at N.Y. Jets the jets played very strong last week and will play strong against this diminshed of talent new england team. they still have brady but he cant be thier lord and savior for too much longer...he needs a supporting cast.
Tennessee at San Diego san diego will come up big again this week. rivers will throw alot more this game then he did last week but tomlinson will still get the bulk of the work. so for you fantasy people that tomlinson...yu should pick up mike turner for a handcuff like last week wen they pulled tomlinson out and turner scored one
Washington at Dallas washing will beat up on drew and then romo will come in and get smashed. portis will run all over them.
Monday
Pittsburgh at Jacksonville this will be an awesome game to watch...but jacksonville will come out the victor even if rothlesburger is back. they are too good.
