    Hardly amazing company. Only Orton amounted to anything later and that was after he left that team. I'm just saying he's not exactly as elite as everyone likes to crown him. Exciting sometimes? Sure. But as a coach, he's just as big of a liability as any other QB relying mostly on legs.

    I guess we will see this year, after VY gets more comfortable in the offense then, huh?

    My question is...of those of you who actually believe this, what will you say if VY either does not supplant Vick or worse, winds up backing up Kafka if Vick gets hurt?

    After having watched Kafka I would truly be shocked. I'm going to be easy on him and say his arm strength is questionable. I do not think Young will end up as Philly's starter. He could very well be starting on another team next year though.

    I couldnt agree more with Skip... WTF u laughing at?... i dont get how anything could be so funny when its OBVIOUS Young is better. He had no backing of Fisher, whom he saved Fishers job TWICE, had 13 more wins then losses with average teams ( went from 0-6and 0-5 to 8-8 twice.. lead a 21-10 comeback vs Giants. Led on a 99 yard drive to beat the Cardinals. Beat Houston in OT his rookie year. Played in a system where he couldnt run around and was forced to be a pocket qb. Im not saying hes great but he is a MUCH BETTER QB then ppl give him credit for. You forget Fisher was stubborn AF with Young. Vick is always overhyped bcuz he has a big arm and is fast. Once teams figured out to stop him by week 10 the last 6 games he threw more ints then TDs. Turns it over way to much to be better. And doesnt have much accuracy. Young will show when teams arent stubborn with him that he can be a pretty damn QB when given the FULL chance. Some of yall musta been on Fishers nuts to think he was a top coach. Puh right..

    Their career stats are very similar but Vick has been the superior runner. Both have made pro bowls they didn't deserve.

    Let's remember that prior to last season Vick's career passing rating was around 77 and VY had his best season statistically last year despite all the other issues.

    Career passing stats...


    VY

    rate 75.7

    57.9 %

    42-42


    Vick

    rate 80.2

    55.3%

    93-58

    Still just a 55.3 completion percentage for his career which is not that good.

    Before his arrest and conviction for animal cruelty Vick was considered by Falcon's fans to be a disappointment as a passer.

    Shanvwhere its ok u say it suck but u cant ignore the stats homie. I like Vick forreal hes gotten a bad rep for dog fighting which every player does some dumb ish, but he isnt as bad as ppl made em. VY is a winner period, he helped us to fight more wins average when we had a pretty wack squad. VY is gunna show wut he made of when a coach and team has his back. Watch Vick stink it up this yr or get hurt and VY come in and win.
