Vick Upset About the Lack of Calls

I feel like this guy is reverting back to the pissy little shithead he was in Atlanta. I've seen every snap this year he has played, and I can tell you I don't believe the refs are missing anything.

He's on the ground every play because he holds on to the ball too long and the offensive line is flat out not good enough. He's gotten hurt the last two weeks because IMO he can't take the pounding week in and week out that other QB's do.

not trying to back him but i have seen at least 3 that i can remember where there was no flag and it was clearly a late hit.. I believe 2 of the lead to a fine on monday morning

But yes he is holding onto the ball too long and his line clearly aint good enough. When u go singleback and send everyone out on route your line wont pick that blitz up

Wether he's being whiney or not, you can't deny he doesn't get the calls other QBs get. The NFL babysits QB's like their made out of glass, all he's saying is shit, if your gunna baby 31 other QBs do the same thing for me.

Do you think the NFL baby's Jay Cutler? He takes a ton of hits, is there a clip of him complaining about not getting calls? If there is I apologize, I just havent seen it.

what? Cutler cries damn never everytime time he gets touched on the field, you always seem him talking in the ref ear

 

[Anthony]

NEVER EVERYTIME!

He wasn't "complaining" he was just making everyone "aware"....lol

I was talking about complaining to the press...almost all quarterbacks whine to the refs on the field, although I don't see enough of Cutler to know if he is worse than anyone else.

He holds onto the ball way too long and doesn't anticipate the pass rush. Merril Hodge, for the idiot that he is, made a good point today on Mike & Mike about how Vick waits for his guy to get open rather than throwing him open. He said that's the biggest difference between Vick and guys like Brady and Rodgers.

Vick has also painted a target on his chest because he is seen as the most electrifying QB in the league. These defenses are pumped to play him every week, they all want to get after him and inflict as much pain on him as possible.

He needs to stop whining and make quicker reads or take off and get down. He can't try to make the big play every time.

Funny how just a month ago Vick was saying, "You can't spy me. You can't stop this offense. We have too many weapons." Now he's begging for pitty from the refs.

The Eagles spent all of that money on big name stars, they might should have picked up an O-line that could block along the way :yep:

 

[Rblake]

Valid or not, it's entertaining to hear Vick whine about being victimized and not being protected.

Thats the issue tho.. the NFL cant hand pick who they're gonna protect back there. If guys like Brady and Brees are gonna get the crazy protection from the Zebras, guys like Vick and Cutler need that same protection. That being said, its the Oline's responsibility to protect these guys more then the leagues, and they're doing a fucking terrible job.

I can't blame them, because the offense looks horrible without him. Bringing in all of the players in the offseason was great, but if Vick isn't out there the team is going nowhere.

Vick has been complaining about this for awhile......I recall last year him saying something about it as well, so this really isn't anything new.

If the NFL does babysit some QBs it's not all 31 other starting ones.

Vick needs to quit bitching, quit throwing INTs, quit getting injured.

 

[Cryolemon]

Vick has the problem that a lot of the hits he takes are as a runner rather than as a QB. He does perhaps get a few less calls than people like Brady though.

It doesn't help that there are likely people in the league who try to injure him at least in part because of the dog-fighting business.

I doubt it...

You guys know I hate Vick right ?

You guys know I hate babying QBs right ?

Hes 100% right. Refs seem to think its 1996 when Vick plays. I much prefer the flag be kept tucked in the refs pants but his comparison is pretty damn valid. However its only week 3 not enough for me to see how flag frequency has been throughout the league.

BTW Him holding on to the ball too long is irrelevant. Thats like blaming a WR getting speared on his bad hands. So long as he's in the pocket the calls need to be consistent.
