I agree with you that Vick is not a great QB yet. He's not yet on the level of Donovan F. McNabb. He is however an unbelievable weapon. He is the ultimate X factor and is totally capable of leading Atlanta to the Super Bowl. And check this out, I can look up stats too.
Falcons record by year
2000- 4-12
Then they draft Vick
2001- 7-9
The next year is his first as the full time starter
2002- 9-6-1 (made playoffs as a wildcard team and won a game before falling to who?? the Iggles)
The Vick gets hurt in the preseason
2003- 5-11
Vick healthy again
2004- 11-5 (11-3 until they decide to rest him, NFC South champs, first round bye)
You can't say this guy doesn't make a HUGE difference.
