19 of 26 for 124 yards

While Vick bogged down from the mid third quarter on, he did just enough (protected the ball, 1 TD pass, high completion pct) to help us win the game. He floated a pass at the most crucial point in the game but the loss isn't on him. It's on piss poor coaching and pathetic kicking.

Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing Tom Landry Jones get the start to see what he can do with the first team weapons.

 

I think Vick is being asked to not lose games, not win them. He didn't lose the game last night. You rightly pointed out that the missed FGs were the biggest reason they lost followed closely by questionable coaching decisions.

 

Had AB held onto the pass in the end zone, he'd have had at least 36 more yards and another TD and who knows what that would have done for Vick's confidence and his chemistry with AB. Nobody will mistake Vick for Ben, but considering he's only been with the team a little over a month and found out Sunday he's the starting quarterback, he did okay.

 

I wouldn't mind putting Jones out there to see what he can do with the big boys instead of the JV team he's always played with. It's time we determine once and for all what we have in him and what better time than now. Vick's one big hit away from that anyway.

 

Don't be like THIS Josh Scobee!

LOL that there is funny bobby, i don't care who ya are.

 

I will say this. A lot of people are dogging on Tomlin (poor choice of words?) for bringing in Vick BUT if Grad hadn't gotten hurt Vick would have been watching the game at home with the rest of us. Which is odd that a qb who would have been home watching the game if not for an injury can still get the start over a qb that has been on the roster for a few years now... Sigh...... What to make of it? What to make of it?

 

Vick passing for 124 yards isn't going to cut it, he needs to be in the 175-200 yards range for the team to win IMO.

 

MT wanted this guy and finally got him. there probably wouldn't have been a gradkowski if MT had his choice back then. i think with the limited time vick had here, it was a mistake to start him over LJ. it's a matter of experience over knowing the system better. LJ knows the system better and vick is still learning it but has NFL field time. that field time doesn't trump the knowledge of the system for vick. another brighter qb maybe. especially on a short week. LJ played a lot of ball in the preseason.

 

62 yards of total offense in the second half tells me that doesnt cut it in a NFL game, Vick reminds me of an old boxer, the mind says set your feet and throw a punch but the body wont respond, MV got off his reads too quick and was sacked 4 times because his mind said run but his legs didnt respond, too many technique errors on his part, and it's only going to get worse in the next game, with a decent QB we wouldn't have ever seen over time in this game.........

 

This does go to show how hard it is to find a decent QB.

As Don Shula said, "Sure luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck."

 

This is why I just couldn't get why the hell we signed him!!
I really, really, REALLY don't like the guy for what he did to those dogs. He's scum. But as far as is talent as a football player, I don't see what Tomlin saw/sees in him. He's not any good. Before, Vick scrambled a lot and was good at it. Since he's older now, he doesn't have the explosiveness or the speed to scramble like he used to & I don't think he's ever had much of an arm. So what exactly did we sign him for?

 

I have a friend you should meet. I gave her a few shooting lessons and she now has a wondering eye toward you know who. Her dog also sleeps on her bed.
