Vick: 'You can't design a defense to stop me'

[Radical]

Vick's never been good at handling pressure. Very easily rattled, he does not handle the Tampa 2 very well at all.

Some of Vick's worst games last year came against Tampa 2 defenses. He fumbled the ball 4 times against Chicago, and lost two fumbles and threw a pick against the Vikings. The only other defense he had a hard time against was Green Bay's aggressive scheme.

We all lived through it for 6 years, and it was obvious at the end of last season. Sorry, but guy wants us to go and dig up statistics when we all lived through it. Not taking anything away from Vick's talents, but dude sucks against certain defenses.

You really don't want to see the stats. I've "dug" them up. Along with stats for other QBs who are supposedly better than him, who by the way faced similar or weaker opponents and fared worse than Vick did during this period of supposed "shutdown" and "blueprint to stop him".

You are acting as if this is the same Vick that played here, playing in the same system, with the same pathetic lack of playmakers. Sorry. It's not. I know it's hard to imagine that all of our failures weren't all Vick's fault.

Comparing Vick 2.0 to the Knapp era Vick is comparing apples to archipelagos, same with using stats from his time in that offense to try and prove what he can or can't do now, in a completely different situation.

Closing this thread. because Vick seems to bring out the childishness in all of us.
