I heard Parcells say this about Vick once several years ago. "Can we let that guy win won title before we start crowning him as the best player of all time?"

I hate that guy, but he was right. Newton was great last year. Young was good his rookie year, and there have been times in Vick's career that he has looked like the greatest player ever. Give them time before putting a crown on them.

Running QBs bring excitement. Young completed 51% of his passes for 2199 yards and 12td 13ints his rookie year. The next year he improved to 62% 2546 9-17. That's over 15 starts. That's good?
Vick had that good season in 2010 because most teams forgot about what he is capable of and he played only 12 games. By the end he was declining pretty hard.

Bad passing isn't exclusive to running QBs. Matt Lineart was pretty good in college too.
