    he's not factoring in the fact that Vick hasn't seen NFL action in 2 years

    a) Vick hasn't played in 2 years
    b) he wasn't better then Vince when he was playing.

    Vick was the most over-rated athlete in the NFL. He couldn't throw, he could run. Suddenly 2 years out of the game, with probably nothing more then a toss around the jail yard and he's the top NFL backup?

    Umm no.

    Ahh you've got to love homers!!

    Vince Young Career Passer Rating:

    68.8

    Michael Vick Career Passer Rating:

    75.7

    Let's compare their last full seasons.

    Vince Young

    Passing Yards: 2546
    Passing TDs: 9
    %: 62.3
    Rushing Yards: 395
    Rushing TDs: 3
    Interceptions: 17
    Fumbles: 5
    Rating: 71.1

    Michael Vick

    Passing Yards: 2474
    Passing TDs: 20
    %: 52.6
    Rushing Yards: 1,039
    Rushing TDs: 2
    Interceptions: 13
    Fumbles: 4
    Rating: 75.7


    Percentages are screwed because Vince throws more than 5 yard passes. But He more than doubled him in touchdowns, and had less interceptions.
    He also more than doubled him in rushing yards.


    No contest. While Vick sucks as a QB, he's still better than Vince by a long shot. Vick was actually wanted by several teams after prison. Vince isn't wanted by several teams as we speak.

    I'd be willing to put Vince above Vick... The dude's been crummy over the last two years, but at least he's actually still been in the NFL.

    I could realistically see Vick turning out to do well this year, and at that point I'd be willing to concede him a higher position than Vince - but I could just as realistically see him bombing out when his athletic ability can't carry him any more.

    Sorgi should be Lower, so should Troy Smith, Henne, and Simms.

    I like the placement of Volek, Rosenfels. and Seneca Wallace though.

    Vince throws 5 yard passes yet you (conveniently) forgot to include Yards per pass in which Youngs is better but include an irrelevant stat like fumbles.

    Add in the obvious fact that Vick hasn't played in 2 years and you have the 25th AT LEAST best backup in the league.
