Vick=Superman

What have they done in the playoffs since Vick left? Ryan is in his 3rd year and hasnt won a playoff game. Vick today is still more popular than Ryan is in Atlanta. Ryan isnt trash, he's a good QB and has played well for Atlanta, but being a successor to Vick is a tough act to follow..

Ryan went 11-5 and went to the playoffs in his rookie year and lost to a Kurt Warner led Cardinals team that went all the way to the Superbowl and damn near won it. That's a lot more than Vick did in his rookie year.

Had he not missed 2 games with an injury (both of which were Falcons losses), he might have had a chance to go to the playoffs in 2009. We aren't the only team that covets back to back winning seasons, the Falcons hadn't had it happen in the history of their franchise, not even with Vick. Matter of fact, if the Falcons only win 2 more games (very likely with 2 games against the Panthers on the schedule), Ryan will have led the franchise to more winning seasons in his first 3 years then Vick had in 6. Ryan's record as a starter is 27-12, again better than Vick.

As far as popularity goes, Vick did draw a number of bandwagon fans who ulitmately were fans of him before being fans of the franchise and left as soon as he went to jail. That doesn't change the fact that current and longtime fans are more than happy with Ryan as their guy for the future.

Vick was beating Brett Favre in Lambeau in only his 2nd year.

Washington is a mess, but their defense is the only team to beat Vick this season.

So the quarterback wins games for teams when it's convenient for the argument, yet so do defenses. That's kind of ironic given that the Packers scored 7 points in "Vick's" playoff win. Was Vick playing special teams when they blocked a punt for a TD or when another muffed punt was recovered on the 20 yard line? Washington's D was something like 31st against the pass coming into last night's game, so while the performance was impressive, let's not act like he carved up the 85' Bears or the Steel Curtain.

I dont have the best memory, but this is the best individual perfomance that i've seen.

U mad?

No. Neither Vick nor Favre would have succeeded in Atlanta. Vick...Well you know the story. He would have never amounted to poo here. To argue otherwise is complete stupidity. Favre was an overweight drunk party boy who never showed up to training camp. The change in his scenery saved his career. Go ask him.

I was one of Vick's biggest critics. I always thought he acted like a punk and didn't deserve any of the hype he got. He was a lazy football player and it was pretty obvious.

Since the beginning of the year I've been rooting for you cause the change is drastic. The game the other night was a blast to watch. Can't wait to watch the Eagles game today.
