If you want to call a retard special, then yes, you can call Vick a special passer. Other than that, his assets end at a strong arm.
And he still couldnt pass that 55% completion mark or manage 2 winning seasons in a row. I think that tells volumes about him. He was ALWAYS throwing into zone coverages or single coverage and all but 1 year of his career he threw for below the league average in percentage .
There are a lot of unconventional QB's in the league. You can call Tom Brady and Payton Manning unconventional as they play in a system that is VERY close to a college spread.
When people see Vick, they see an athlete playing QB, they dont see a QB that is also an athlete.
No he wouldnt. He would be exactly the same as he has been the last 4 seasons he played. Judging by how quickly those same receivers matured last year with Ryan throwing, I would say that they were being held back by the QB and not the other way around.
As do I. I think the NFL should enact a rule that requires a lifetime ban for any player convicted of a felony while on an NFL roster, but since that rule is not in place, Vick should be allowed to play as long as there is a team that is willing to pay him.
He didnt serve a day for dog fighting so I would say he got off pretty easy on that count. The feds wanted to make an example. Maybe the US Atty was a dog lover or maybe he was a Vick hater. Dont know, dont care. You do the crime you do the time.
