Yes, Atlanta became a Super Bowl winning Dynasty under Vick.
Chris Chandler took the team further than Vick ever did. Vick's Falcons team also had a great running game (other than him) and a solid defense. He's not solely responsible for their wins. In fact, I bet his 53% completion percentage 75 QB rating and double digit interceptions annually hurt the team more than helped them.
Cunninghams stats where that much better and what SB did he win and if I'm correct he even had Moss to throw to for a couple of years.
Completed 2,429 of 4,289 passes (56.6%) for 29,979 yards and 207 touchdowns (81.5 Rating). Also had 775 rushing attempts for 4,928 yards (6.4 yard average) and 35 touchdowns.

My point is all players have different attributes. It's funny how Colt's mobility is wonderful but Vick's means he shuold be a runningback. Colt's passes are not crisp. They wobble, does that make him a QB who can't throw. No it makes him Colt. There are strengths and weaknesses to every player. Look at Farve for instance, gun- slinger/interception machine. In my opinion a bad QB throws the ball into coverage when pressured. Look a Jake Delhomme for instance. Vick played on a running team, who invested little in pass protection or WRs until close to his departure. Under Andy Reid Vick will be a different QB because the game plan will be to use what he does best. He throws too hard for some wideouts.

Here's my thing: Was Vick running professional training regimens in prison? If not, you can assuredly bet that while he's still going to be quick, he won't be that "OMG!!11! WTF HAPPENED?!?!1!1" QB that we all remember...

The Eagles will have scary speed on offense when Reid puts Vick on the field as a wildcat QB with Jackson and Maclin as WRs.
Exactly. This thread is dumb to begin with, because Randall Cunningham was a starter, which Vick isn't right now.
But Philly's offense will be something else to deal with (if that offensive line gets healthy). The potential for McNabb, Westbrook, Vick, Maclin, and Deshean Jackson on the field at the same time is pretty scary.

Only time will tell if Vick has lost his game breaking ability. Time will tell us that.

Did we sign Cunningham; or is the Vick hate that bad that someone pulled a highlight video of a QB that hasn't played in years to show that they don't like Vick too ? I mean honestly ?

It's funny how we talk about the media and their Vick overkill...yet here on this board we have one thread dedicated to how Vick won't be Randall Cunningham (I think that's what this is about) and another dedicated to someone's new profile picture featuring a Redskins jersey that shows we didn't sign Vick.

Vick is on the list with Michael Jackson, Obama, HiP HoP, Castro, Chavez, Hamas. Let's be serious.

Overhyped media subjects perhaps...The shit that dead horses beat when they are bored. Although hip hop and castro are interesting additions to the list?
