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

Yeah...Im saying I suck...I have total self loathing issues...

the name does get me nostalgic for the first Gibbs era in general...I guess the choice may have been a half assed attempt at showing that...

but in Schroeders defense...[B]he showed the same level of talent that Campbell has thus far[/B][/quote]

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.

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.

Re: We Want Vick!
 

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.

Schroeder was Schroeder premature balding with a strong arm. I remember them days

He looks old now!

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.

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

wow he looks totally different now. i wonder if he's still a dickhead. jay had all the talent to be a superstar. but he was one example of a guy who was mentally weak and was one of the biggest babies i've ever seen. i'll never forget during the 87 season when gibbs benched him and he sat on the bench with his arms folded w/ the jacket on. it looked like he was going to cry before gibbs came over to him and gave him some words of encouragement.
