Is Vick getting hit more than others?

He's talking about when he's throwing, not just passing:

"Not to take anything away from the other quarterbacks in the league, if you go back and watch the film, I'm always getting hit after I let go of the football," Vick said Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Matt Mosley. "I'm constantly getting hit after I throw the football. Constantly getting my facemask pulled and getting hit in the head and it's never called ... I just think that because I run the ball so much, the referees sometimes will overlook that. They have to understand when I'm in the pocket, I'm a passer. If I get hit late, they should call it. I'm not complaining. I just want to be treated fairly."

I think that's probably true... they let the defensive players get away with a little more on mobile QB's... that and he's not Tom Brady, who no one can get within 10' of without a flag.

I used to think this, but Suh's "hit" on Cutler made me question it, since I can't imagine Cutler is an NFL Golden Boy, but I guess maybe he is...

I still don't know how Suh wasn't suspended for his hit on Jake earlier in the year, where he purposely grabbed Jake's mask and threw pulled his head sideways by doing so. I thought it was one of the dirtiest plays I've ever seen.

As far as Vick, yeah he does take hits that other QBs don't. I think it has to do with the fact that he's mobile and plays 100% all out every play, he makes most everything look so graceful and pops right back up, and very rarely I think it's possible some refs may turn their head from it because they don't really care for him because of his past (although I hope not).

This is true. But his last play? Come on. That wasn't dirty.

True enough; Big Ben is a bit like that as well, which may explain the more hits on him.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
