    He is not a good pocket passer. He is not accurate and can not read defenses well. His bread and butter is running with the ball. Once age or injury catches up to him to the extent that he is no better at running the ball than say McNabb or Culpepper then he will be done. He is basically Kordell Stewart with better running ability.

    You mean he'll actually get older? And slower? Someday? Thanks there Mr. Madden.

    It will hurt him more than most QBs. He is going to have a very short shelf life.

    Now the real question nobody has asked.

    Is Vick a better all around athletic QB than LaDainian Tomlinson?

    LT is 3/3 for 47 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT, with a QB Rating of 158.3

    Vick... well, his QB rating is about what you'd like to see a WCO's completion percentage is - 70.8. That's a little below Anthony Wright, who has more attempts and yards.

    So, yes :D

    I'd take Manning over Vick anyday. The only quarterback I'd take over Manning is Brady, but I think we are finding out that Weis and Romeo had more to do with the Patriots success than people thought.

    The problem there is the Pats (Billiceck) under estimated the importance of the OC position in the coaching staff. A smart QB like Brady still needs the eyes on the sideline.

    with a healthy secondary they'd still be really good.

    See, I think a bit much has been made of this. Weis is a good coach, no question. But they are ninth in total offense.

    All the injuries to the defense and offensive line have made them into a one dimential team.
