I took Vick in the 2nd round. However we use 2 qb's, so it throws the entire draft off. Vick is a special talent and is the only qb that realistically could be 4-5 ppg better than all the rest. His health is his only concern. I think the Falcons are doing the right thing by not playing him since the preseason means nothing.
I view Vick's injury as Michael Jordan's injury his first year in basketball. A broken foot is not a sign of being injury prone..It's the result of a freak accident. After Jordan's broken bone his rookie year, he was never injured again. Vick isn't twisting knees, getting concussions, and those are the things that worry you. He is one of those once-in-a-lifetime athletes, and if he stays healthy, he'll be a top ten fantasy pick for the next 10 years.
