    People say Atlanta mike vick was not a good player. He took his team to the to the NFC championship. They had a good running game, but Vick was a big reason they got there. What has atlanta won since?

    They say he wasn't a good quarterback, in the sense of the traditional pocket-passing quarterback; much like traditionalist say that Tebow is not a good quarterback.

    i don't think anyone said vick wasn't a good player, and if they were they were only saying it because they love dogs or they are an atlanta fan trying to move on.

    They didn't win (i.e. make playoffs) with Vick at QB in 2005 or 2006.

    No, they said he was below average throwing the ball.

    Part of what made his resurgence last season so shocking was that he put up elite passing numbers with a 100 QB Rating, when he was an annual 75 QBR guy in Atlanta. His final season as a Falcon, he was literally a better RB than he was QB.

    This season, he came back down to earth, but an 84 rating is still the second best of his career as a starter.
