Ladies and Gentlemen the new QB for the Dallas Cowboys... or Saints

Somebody is going to take that idiot pretty high, but it's not going to be us thankfully. His brother is the most overated player in the history of the nfl.
IMO

His Brother is the most overrated player in history.....Ryan Leaf, Joey Harrington, Rex Grossman, Tim Couch, David Klinger, Jeff George, Steve Emtman, Chad Pennington, Jason Gamble, Jim Drunkenmiller, Kyle Boller,......only if I had the time to continue.....yea in the history of Football...Vick is the most overrated :yeahright

Uh none of those first round busts and headcases ever came anywhere close to the recognition Mike Vick has recieved over his career. At one point not too long ago many thought he was the best player in the league. You can't rate any higher than that and therefore in my estimation he was and is 100% overrated.

How tall is Marcus? I watch him play and can't help but think he looks awfully small for the NFL. 6th or 7th round, maybe. More likely it's off to Canada or Europe or the back of Mike's limo waiting for the Falcons game to end.

By the way, I wonder what would happen if he stepped on Joe Salavea's arm?

not worth it

If he stepped on Salavea's arm, he would be even smaller.

What I have to say though is "Thank you Frank Beamer! Thank you for putting your neck out there to say that no one person is bigger than the game." It seems that we've had way too many prima donnas in recent years who thought that they could pretty much do whatever they wanted and come back to open arms in the locker room. Enough is enough. I'll buy Frank and Andy Reid a beer any day.

You can't be serious. Jeff George is the only person on that list even close to Vick. Couch and Pennington are a few steps behind. Beyond that, you are basically listing outstanding college players who never developed into decent NFL players. None of those guys have been called "the prototype for the future of their position."

Vick is by far the most overrated.

Man, there seems to be a lot of meatheaditis running around right now, Fred Smoot, Marcus Vick...
