Both miles ahead of any other to play the position & among the very best to ever play the game. But, Vick had the advantage in fast twitch shiftiness imo. The 30 for 30 made me go back & watch some of his old stuff - it was Sanders like the situations he often escaped from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playoff loss was what makes the NFL exciting. Catch a hot team at the wrong time and they will beat you. What about being a big player in big games?

MSURacerDT55 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Also, in terms of the MVP, well deserved. He was outstanding during the regular season, despite my critiques of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen Lamar and the way he jukes, stops and cuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should get plenty more opportunities with Baker Mayfield and a 37 year old Big Ben as 2 of the other QBs in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, ok cool, Ill make sure to take note even though I'm not sure how Baker and Ben come up in this thread, remember you lost to this same Baker Mayfield last year and Ben is 14-10 against you all time but ok...... And it still doesn't negate the fact that he hasn't come up big when it counts..... Edited February 6, 2020 by MSURacerDT55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, both are the only QBs ever to have legit elite tier RB/WR/KR speed, agility & overall athleticism. Jackson & Vick's ability to break ankles is undeniable. I went back & looked at both players college & pro highlights, Vick just has a number of ridiculous escapes where by all rights he should've been sacked. Both have incredible long runs, jukes, cuts, change of direction & spins. But, outside of Barry - I haven't seen many guys who can contort & elude the impossible like Vick. Lamar still has his whole pro career in front of him, so those phone booth plays may come. Also, Lamar is without a doubt the more complete player, & a better human at this early stage of his life - which is why he'll likely end up in Canton. Vick unfortunately needed prison time to straighten himself out. I just think Arm strength (not accuracy or touch), & agility / moves work in Vick's favor when comparing the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
