Leave Schaub In and Bench Vick? This guy says so!

[biju]

Win a couple of games?

Hasn't Vick led the Falcons to the playoffs twice in his career? Dummy.

If taking snaps from the center means "led," then Vick "led" the Falcons to the playoffs.

Others would argue that a great running game and a great defense allowed them to get to the playoffs despite Vick's fumbling and unbelievably bad accuracy.

Where was that great running game when Doug Johnson was behind center in 2003?

Actually, the O-line coordinator for the Broncos came in 2004 and that's why the Falcons are getting great running stats. Dunn would be close to a top 5 RB if it weren't for TJ Duckett. If they ever get rid of either back make sure to target them in upcoming years. Mark my words...

wow, it is always the same argument. i am of course an atlanta fan and i am very glad we have schaub for a BACKUP. you never know what would have happened if vick had played so it is stupid to guess, but the fact is we lost. vick might not be a great QB, a great RB, but he is a winner and that is what counts. of course i would love to see his passing game improve and schaub made it evident we have a system in place when he matures enough to become a complete QB. to start schaub in his place means you must bench one of the most successful (measured in wins) QBs in the league and that is stupid

Why would you measure a QB's value with a team stat?

[tpetty6320]

because when vick plays we win. when vick doesnt play we lose. i am not a genious but i draw the corelation after watching the falcons play over the last 5 years. any more questions

So you should have been 16-0 last year.

[tpetty6320]

i refuse to argue on the internet but i will log off saying you arent too far off....

vick starts last year 11-3
vick doesnt 0-2


and before you say it i know a couple other starters didnt play in those last 2 games but unfortunately Mora refuses to insert players at will to help people argue against vicks value

There's no way Vick gets replaced. Looks like everyone knows Vick is the lesser passer, but the problems he creates for the other team because of his legs is more important than having a pure passer back there. It just stinks for fantasy people because a passer is very startable whereas Vick is only startable in certain situations.

It's too bad for the Falcons that they can't use some sort of mutating machine and give Schaub's accuracy and Vick's legs to the same person. They might be unstoppable then.

The biggest question would be what the mutated person's name would be: Vaub, or Schick?

I think Schick has a nice ring to it since it'd be just like the razor...cutting through the defense.

no. the falcons defense have led the falcons to the playoffs.

I just feel like vick would be more valuable as a RB/WR than as a QB. He's one of the best athletes I've ever seen, but his passing skills aren't there. I would let him do what he does best, run downfield. Of course, Vick is still young, so he might emerge as a good passer in the future.
