Default Re: USC/Texas opinions

And why would looking at Vick be an example of a very disappointing player? Maybe to the people who expect 25 year old QBs to take crappy teams with no receivers and a bad defense to the promised land all by himself.

But he's taken a team with a history comparable to the Lions to the playoffs both years before this one when he was healthy. Not only that, he won a playoff game each time and played in an NFC Championship Game. He's 25 years old and should be in his 3rd year in the league if he didn't come out early. Sure he didn't have a great year, but to call him a bust is absolutely ridiculous at this point.

If Vick does end up being a disappointment, it will be for the same reason Randall Cunningham was (despite his MVP), he makes terrible decisions and has trouble reading defenses. Not because fast QBs with good arms are doomed to fail in the NFL.
