Strung Out
...are better without Vick?
He is, for sure, one of a small handful of the truly top athletes in the NFL and he does things on the field that remind you of the kid who is the man among boys from middle school ball on up through high school and, to some extent, college. He is that good an athlete.
But is he that good a football player?
He's played 6 seasons with no higher than 56% completion, no more than 2900 yards passing, 20 TD's and a consistent 12-13 int guy. Add to that, the last three years he's pretty much a 75 qb rating guy.
His real stock in trade in his running.
So, look at your team. Would you want him? Is he a great football player? Will the Falcons look back on 2007-08 with a winning record with Harrington?
Is he done in the NFL even if he beats this rap and is allowed back?
