Lex said:Last week the excuse for Vick was that he had terrible recievers. Peerless Price, the most sought after free agent receiver, the year he signed with Atlanta, caught two deep balls for TD's yesterday. After the second, Jim Mora grabbed Price on the sidelines and jostled him around like: "see, I told you we'd get the ball to you EVENTUALLY!" "Get your attitude out of the dumper."
These are the problems caused by a player like Mike. The personnel problems will continue where ever Vick plays quarterrunningwideoutback.
Mora conceded after the game, that the coaching staff was telling him to "just run it" quite a few times against Denver. So on designed bootlegs, and roll out pass plays that get the ball to receivers and running backs down the field, the coaches were telling Vick to "look to run first."
They must figure if the only way to make him effective at QB is to have him run it, even though he risks injury, at least they can win playing this way, and if he does get hurt ... they can put in the real quarterback currently riding the pine.
The guy throws for 250 yards and 2 TDs and this is the best you can come up with? The team is also 6-2. What Atalnta really needs is a QB who canput up tons of yardage in garbage time and seal the game with an interception for a TD dropping his team into a first place tie with the Chargers - give me a break Lex.
