I have to disagree there. I love Lamar and would put him top 3 in the league right now. But, Lamar is Vick-lite.

Their games are so similar, but Ron Mexico was faster, more agile and had a better arm. If he would've played his whole career for Andy Reid, he would've been a 1st ballot HOFer. And I'm saying this as someone who hated Vick. 

Vick, Cam, Cunningham, Elway and Farve in my lifetime. Probably in that order. 

Lamar is a better passer than Vick ever was though. Vick had a cannon but it wasn't equipped with much of an aiming apparatus.

George was absolutely a great athlete. It's a big reason why he got so many chances.

But yeah, he was also a colossal prick.

Ive even heard most WRs say Jeff threw the "easiest" to catch balls, by far. Shame he didnt care about leadership, working out, or building up the team. He had the hose form the gods and 5cent head. 

O and Marino was a A++++ jerk too,  a coked up one at that.

Merino was a total a--hole on the field.

There was a story of a player who grew up idolizing him, then got drafted to the NFL and got to play against him.

After seeing how Marino acted in the game, that guy didn't admire him anymore.

I think part of that was ATL making the same mistake we did with Cam. "Geez, he runs real good. Who needs a qb coach?" He also had one of the quickest releases I have ever seen. 

Vick made a huge leap in passing his first season in PHI. That screams bad coaching in Ted Turner's backyard. BAL, on the other hand, has done a great job of working with Lamar on his passing game. He has come a long way since college. 

I don't think Vick lacked the ability to throw accurately, I just don't think he was ever taught. Why bother when you are winning?

Part of that is true, but part of that was also Vick's attitude.  When he was drafted by the Falcons, he didn't take learning the playbook or watching film seriously.  He changed his attitude a lot when he returned and played for the Eagles.  By that point he had his head on straight, but his body couldn't stay on the field for 16 games anymore.

If he had put it all together as a rookie, he'd be one of the best QBs of all time.

Yep. There are multiple reasons why Vick is on nearly everyone's Most Talented QB lists and almost no one's Greatest QB list.

I'll just add that I absolutely hated Michael Vick as a player for the Falcons.  He completely destroyed us, and I'll never forget attending the 41-0 game in 2002.  I have never seen a player single handedly destroy a team the way he destroyed us that season.  The other game we lost 30-0.

Thomas Davis was drafted almost specifically to spy Vick.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
