Meanwhile half the nfl is out shooting deer with a crossbow, while taking an absurd amount of drugs , cheating on their wives and whatever else pudge described. I'm not sure why Vick would be held to a higher standard than anybody else, I don't think he'll be sainted at any point , but damn if all professional athletes were judged as harshly as he was there wouldn't be professional sports. The average human is just as fucked up as him really.
As far as my once in a generation comment , 50 years from now Vick will be remembered fondly , at most Matty ice will be looked back as an underachieving playoff loser.
You come across as an impressionable child, a naïve one at that. You asked what has he ever done to be considered a ****, I feel the list of offences I offered more than justify that label.
Just last year Eagles fans were calling for his head, one game won't change everything.
As for your Ryan comment, for whatever reason you brought him up, he has the most wins by any QB in history over the first 5 years of their career, led the league in completion percentage last year, has increased his TD production every single season, has made the play offs 4 out of his 5 season, has the most game winning drives and 4th quarter comebacks in his first 5 years than anyone else, and a better than 2:1 TD to interception ratio.
Vick's been in the league longer than Ryan and acheived less, how will he not be remembered as a failure? Vick may be remembered but it won't be for what he did on the field
Ryan will win a Superbowl before he retires, because he's a great QB, unlike Vick. Ryan led us to a blown call from the refs away from a shot at it last year.
Last night you came across as completely oblivious to what Vick had done. The drugs, the prison time, the disrespect, the obscene gestures.
Ron Mexico may have made the Falcons exciting, but Ryan makes us relevant. Give any GM in football a choice between Vick or Ryan and Vick's in the unemployment line.
With you hanging off his hinge end by the sound of it, might want to get yourself to the clinic if that's the case.
But I'm still not sure why you brought Ryan into it so let's not make this into a Vick/Ryan debate, not only because it will be a landslide but because its not the point. Maybe it was just a very, very poor attempt at a cheap shot, I don't know
The only excuse you can have for your ignorance is if you have only just started following the NFL for 2/3 years, even then you must have lived on Mars, with your eyes shut, and your fingers in your ears to not consider Vick a disgrace.
you must have an amazing crystal ball. do the bengals win a playoff game or even get to the superbowl (or even win it ????) in this future ?
