214. Michael Vick QB, Falcons
Real kick in the face to those other 276
Vick should either be way higher or off the list completely, King provides no reasoning either.

Actually, in his article in Sports Illustrated, he does explain why he put Vick there.
"In the case of Vick, he wouldn't have been in the top 100 even with a squeaky-clean resume because he still isn't the complete quarterback that defines NFL greatness at the position. How, he may not play football again until he's 30 years old, and if that turns out to be the case, a ranking of 214 might be generous. He's on the list because he'll have the chance to play again, someday, and his skills won't fully erode in the meantime."

Its still retarded to put him on the list. The guy won't be playing NFL football for at least 2 full years. If you are going to include him then you may as well include a bunch of college players too.
