    How much will this affect adjustments? Now need to protect the right side as his blind side. Handoffs different? The spin on the ball for receivers is the opposite - does that matter? Roll-outs go to the opposite side?

    I always thought it would be a good idea to have the back-up play in a similar fashion to the starter. Though no one really plays like Ben, Vick seems to be opposite in many ways.

    I think Vick can still be good, particularly with the weapons we have.

    This will be an interesting test to see how much the quarterback matters when you have other pro-bowl level talent on the offense.

    That has been my only problem with Vick is that he plays a totally opposite game than Ben does. Batch, Lefty, and Grad all had a similar style of Ben.

    I never watched Lefty taking his big windup and thought his play was like Ben. I'm just hopeful with the short week that Vick works his but off both on the practice field and the film room

    yeah no doubt
    Tomlin greeted Vick after the game on the field like Vick hung 40pts on the rams
    I guess some people call that positive reinforcement

    Yeah I noticed that. But the standard is the standard, even when it comes to taking a knee.

    If we just install a left handed center won't all the galactic opposite issues pointed out by the OP be reversed? :shrug:
