> …well even marvin harrison cant catch the ball when its thrown 10ft in front of him…hes not an accurate passer or a good decision maker. hes ranked at the bottom of the league among starters pretty much his whole career at qb rating, completion percentage etc. there are alot of skills he lacks to be a great qb in the nfl. he can make up for alot of those things with his athletic ability though. the funny thing is, most of atlantas wins are thanks to him, but if you look at the numbers, they usually still arent good, but noone cares. people still think hes an elite qb. but when they lose and then people start to look at the numbers and then it starts to sink in.

im not saying that vick is elite in the nfl or he will ever be. he is a productive footbal player though. everybody judges him the same way they would judge a traditional dropback pocket passer. we all know that vick is not that.

what he is good at is playing his style of football in the NFL. he makes plays and wins games doing it.

if you think about it how many great college QBs have been able to keep their “college” style and accel in the NFL? there hasnt been very many.

and to stay slightly on the original topic, football is an emotional game and its understandable what made him react the way he did. However just because i understand why he flicked everyone off doesnt mean i think it was okay. he is a popular figure in the NFL and many kids look up to him. he should realize that and he needs to remain professional at all times.
