Because of his style of play. It works in college football but running QB's don't last long in the NFL. Vick will go down with an injury by week 6. Count on it.

How bad will Peyton Manning look if Brady and Vick are playing for a title on his home field. But I could see it happening. Peyton might go down as the greatest regular season QB in history, but it won't buy him more than 1 ring.

I disagree. In his 5 seasons in Atlanta as a full time starter he played 15 or 16 games every year but one. You can't really judge his last 2 seasons in Philly because he wasn't the starter going into the season. He played 12 games last year and that including sitting out the last week because they had there spot locked up and being benched because the original starter came back. So I really don't get the injury prone label. It really doesn't fit. In fact, Tom Brady has missed more games to Injury in his career then Vick has.

If anyone is still having trouble watching games locally, atdhenet.tv is still around playing all the games. Just google it. Watching GB at CLE right now in AZ. I definitely am not paying for NFL network for 6 months to watch 12-14 games.

76% of all games played. 78% if you give him the extra two.

Rivers meanwhile has played all games when he became the starter (can't play if Drew Brees is dropping 3500 on people)

Even Schaub who gets labeled injury prone is at 82% of all games played.

Of the top 10 qb's in completion % (actually about the only top 10 passer stat vick was in lol, not yards, tds, exc.) He's by far the worst except for David Garrard and I don't feel like finding all those games when they were going back and forth between other starters.

So like a high C in your prime... Yeah unless he really starts staying in the pocket as that body takes more and more (and it will) he'll be done quicker and quicker (also he was sacked 5th most in the NFL).

But there really isn't a correlation between getting sacked allot and being able to play long (or at least no correlation in one case). Brett Favre who was in the top 10 in sacks 11 out of 20 years (or 55% of his career).

This post is confusing? What are you talking about? 76% of what? What does fruit drinks have to do with anything? And how is he the worst of the top 10? Is that your opinion?

Lol reading trouble again I see OF ALL GAMES PLAYED out of a possible 128 games Vick could have played in he has played in 98... 98/128 = 76% with you complaining about the two games I removed those and poof 78% 100/128=78%

76%-78% is a high C grade and just so that doesn't become an issue

A= 100%-90%
B= 89.9-80%
C=79.9-70%
exc. exc.

lol simply pointing out he wasn't in the top 10 in touchdowns or yards... Calm down iggls fan.

First of all I am a Dolphins fan. I have no rooting interest in the Eagles at all. My math was just a little different. He was asked to play 88 games for the Falcons and missed 14 of them (11 of them due to a broken leg) and was asked to play 26 games for the Eagles and missed 2 of them. So out of the 114 games he was asked to play he missed 16. So I get 14% of games missed which is a High B.

Just like with Rivers above in your example you can't count games he wasn't supposed to play in because of being a rookie or having Mcnabb or Kolb as the teams starter.

Well if you said he played two games for the Falcons in 2001 assuming thats correct he would have played in a possible 92/114 which is 80.7% of all games. certainly not high B, but better than 76%, But yes he can't be held accountable if he wasn't allowed to start. So 80.7% it is.

He played in 8 games his rookie year. He just started 2 of them. He was brought in for some plays, kind of like the way Tebow was last year. So he played in all 8 games they asked him too. so 98 of 114 and 86%. The whole point I was making many posts ago was with the exception of a broken league he got in a preaseason game many years ago he really isn't injury prone. Most Qbs miss a game every now and again. Most QBs are not Brett Favre and and Peyton Manning.

Well worth the dirt cheap price. (In my opinion, of course)
I don't get it. It's 30% more expensive than Sunday Ticket, and the only additional features are quad view and Mobile/Tablet access?

$19.99 for all the preseason games live is a great deal to me. Basically I'm getting to see the Bills live for $5 a game. Pretty damn cheap if you ask me.

Oh I see. There's no mention of a pre-season only pass. It must be different because I'm in Canada. The only thing I see is a season pass for $260, which is ridiculous since Sunday Ticket is much cheaper.
