Yeah he throws a tight spiral but his accuracy is lacking. Part of it probably has to do with poor footwork and mechanics.

Sure you're not really Gus with the head damage?

Decision-making lacks also, check out his INT totals.

Well, at least JC isn't a d-bag that his teammates have no respect for.

But he does lack flowing golden locks, so that's a negative.

I think anyone who really believes that McNabb was lobbying to get Vick is kidding themselves. I know he said that, but he has always seemed like the most insecure player on the planet, which makes sense considering the way he was treated by the philly fans when they first drafted him.

look at the stats, they're comparable except for completion percentage

Schroeder had a pro bowl year with the Raiders too

Supposedly he lobbied for T.O. too. Maybe they should just keep McNabb out of personell.

Dont know what youve got, till its gone. When McNabb leaves philly you can stick a fork in em. Vick is all legs,never has he been a great passer. Roddy White was considered a bust until he got a REAL QB to get him the ball. Now he is one of the best in his div.

Re: We Want Vick!
One of the funniest Vick jokes I've heard as of late is that, based on his preseason (and career numbers for that matter), if Vick was held to the same standard as his dogs he would have been shot, electrocuted, and drowned by now.

I guess the technical answer would be lazy footwoork, but the technical answer is usually just a product (a manifestation) of a bigger problem (like effort, or simply lacking any semblence of the skill).

Nice mad-lib!

For the record, I completely agree with your actual post, the one that I disrespectfully tore up.
