Vick THINKS he is entitled to $10,000,000.00 per year

[Houston]

What about The Lions?

 

[FirstTimer]

Vick wasn't worth that much before he went to prison.

 

[FirstTimer]

You're right, he was worth much more due to his big contract with the Falcons and all of his endorsements.

Correction. He was being PAID more than that. As an NFL QB he wasn't WORTH that amount. He was overpaid and overrated.

 

[Goober]

1 Year/ $10,000,000. We can use him while we groom Mark Sanchez after the Cutler trade.

gtfo.

I hope he's taking a course on reading defenses while he's in there.

 

[Bigpapa42]

Did anyone actually read the article? Its a figure he used in bankruptcy court. Which very well could mean he expects to make that much. Or its just a figure his bankruptcy lawyer told him to use.

 

[dell71]

No need to read a defense when you can just run by them.

This is exactly the mindset that led to a guy with all the talent in the world stagnant and content to be a mediocre quarterback.

Criticize Vick all you want he was hands down the most exciting player to watch. He may not have been a great quarterback but he was one hell of a player.

He wasn't even that great a player. All of his highlights weren't leading the Falcons anywhere the last couple years he was there.

The advantage to "lying" about expected income is the Judge has to approve Vick's plan to allow him to go into bankruptcy. However, knowingly lying to federal officials (including Federal Judges) is generally frowned upon (5 year sentence ala Bonds/Clemens)

Its not lying if you can justify, however. If that figure was questioned, its pretty easily explained - that's what a well-paid QB in the league can earn, quite easily. Its simply based on the assumption that Vick will get back to being a starter in the NFL.

Fuck $10,000,000 I'd pay Vick in dogs.

No. He was not the most exciting player to watch.

I get more excited watching players who actually know how to do something besides run.

would be hilarious if they (the court) is allowed to talk with "experts" and see if that amount is reality. I doubt any perjury like results form it but could you imagine NFl gm's giving depositions for bankruptcy court.

That mentality is what took Vince Young from an all-star in college to a bench rider in the league.

Imagine if Vince Young or Micheal Vick could read defenses.........

^This.

Only reading the headline is necessary because its Mike Vick everyone hates him and wants to get their jabs in.

 

[Mit]

Is Vick going in for a drug test any time soon?

 

[Houston]

Don't be retarded, Vince didn't have near the shiftiness or straight ahead speed that Mike had. You're talking about a guy who can beat ALMOST every single player in the league in a foot race. And a QB who can run for over 1,000 yards in just around 120 carries. He did pretty well for the targets he had. Roddy White hadn't become a Pro Bowl type WR and Michael Jenkins was pretty average. Peerless Price came off of one good year and Buffalo and didn't last too long in Atlanta. Pretty pathetic when you're main target comes down to a fat TE with soft hands.

I didn't compare Vince to Vick. I just said they'd both be alot better if they knew how to read defenses. At the end of the day any coach would take Manning over Vick and Manning would get beat by ALMOST every single player in the league.

Vick is such a shit starter ampong people like we. Not even a question od how exciting he was to watch.

Also my memory may be hazy, but wasnt he successful as a quaterback for the falcons. I a playoff record of 2-2? Wuth average teams where he was the only threat, Pandy's right, people like to get jabs in.

They would be Steve Young like, or John Elway 'ish.

Is this a new form of pig latin? I donpt know what yopu sayd we.

Yeah, its pretty amazing how a 1st round pick like Roddy White finally blossomed into arguably the best WR in the NFC once he had a QB that could get him the ball.

Its still amazing to me how stupid Vick fanboys are. Seriously, you couldn't make the connection between Roddy White's improved performance and Matt Ryan taking over the QB spot? Another point that I had always been told was how Mike Vick was the reason the Falcons' running game worked due to his 'bootleg threat'...uh, Matt Ryan's 'passing threat' seemed to have worked for Michael Turner last year, no?

I know. I don't understand this. Then people like Peppers90 make up stats like "Well White only had that much yardage because the Falcons ran the ball less under Ryan than they did Vick.." Which is flat out false, seeing as the Falcons ran the ball more last season than they did under Vick his final season in the NFL.

Then you get people throwing around the 1,000 yards thing like it's some huge deal statistically when they ignore the gaping hole in the accomplishment which is that Vick's sack yardage(300+ yards) wasn't factored in and was taken off his passing yardage total. (Which is still one of the more idiotic NFL statistical practices IMO)

Essentially Vick's "resume" consists of:
-him having a career record similar to that of Jay Fiedlers
-Kind of rushing for 1,000 yards in one season
-being .500 in the playoffs(has the same playoff record as Rex Grossman)
-and at one time being credited with being responsible for the success of Falcon's running game....but that was shown to be bunk when Matt Ryan came in and the Falcon's running game was still one of the top in the NFL.
