It was an absolute nightmare for defenses to stop Vick, running the ball tires out the defense. Especially very long runs to extend drives. And Vick had incredible pocket awareness and speed to compliment those attributes. His arm was also insane even while throwing off balance. Vick was my favorite player to watch. Players can still play like he does, but are taught to slide to evade big hits from defenders. A Quarterback Sliding stops the play. Lamar Jackson is an example of a recent player that rushed for over 1,000 yards as a Quarterback breaking Vick’s single season rushing record.

You brought up the question of whether or not you’d like to see him run so much and potentially risk getting hurt. For dual threat quarterbacks, this will always be a point of contention. It is a double edged sword, exciting to watch, and can create amazing plays. But yeah, it does increase the chances for serious injury. Coaches and General Managers are always sort of fighting what to do when they have one of these players. It will be a debate topic any time a player like this enters the league. They also are hesitant to give long-term contracts to players like this because of the increased chances of serious injury as well. Love your reactions.

Vick's combine time in the 40 yd. dash was 4.33 seconds, which was and is unheard of for a QB. He was not a puny guy, either. He was muscled out. His speed was spectacular. I can't say he was elusive as a runner. He just sped by tacklers and could not be brought down by an arm tackle. Some players are just special due to having physical talents that make them shine when compared to the other great athletes they play with and against. Vick was one of those special talents. He also had the ability to toss the football 50 yeards down the field with just a flick of his wrist. It is too bad he felt dog fighting was an OK hobby.

Also, please do the Stafford number 1 all time mic’d up video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/speA0nWIgqV9mKA I know it’s short, but it’s two of the best game winning plays in mic’d up history. Not only one of the great fake spikes of all time, which had the whole Cowboys team fooled, but also his own team had no idea (I don’t know how far you guys are in your American football learning’, but when a quarterback spikes the ball on the ground, it’s like an incomplete pass directly into the dirt in front of them. It wastes a down, but it also stops the clock. Mainly used in late game situations, when the game clock is your biggest obstacle) but also one of the best injury moments of all time. Dude literally has his shoulder separated, got pulled from the game with one play left. Lions put on their backup, the other team calls a timeout. Because they called the timeout, that meant the Lions were able to make a substitute. Just like some movie-type shit. No rush, just add it to the docket if you could. It would make me sooo happy!

You hit on the age old QB debate - the prototypical 6'5", 230 pound pocket passer that only runs when he has to (Tom Brady), versus the 5'10" 200 pound mobile QB that is prone to injury. Pocket passers get injured too, from being sacked, but they're not moving 15 MPH when they get sacked, and the sackers, while large, aren't moving that fast either.

Your observation is spot on. A head coach, and the entire team, constantly has to walk the line between taking advantage of what a QB like Vick can do with his legs vs his arm. The answer ends up being "get as much yardage as you can, then either get down or out of bounds." I will say, however, as good as Vick was, there was one team that he played twice in that rookie year that really had his number: the Buccaneers. The '02 Bucs had a defense that year that was probably in the top 3 of all time. I think, if not for Ray Lewis, who was great, everyone would refer to Brooks as the greatest in that position at that time. Both were great linebackers, but there were stark differences in the types of team defense. I personally think this gave Lewis the numbers edge.

Your instincts about running QB's being a point of contention for coaches, GMs, and owners (I'll add in fan bases and sports talk shows as well) was spot on. When they are healthy and firing on all cylinders its extremely exciting to watch and hard to defend. But the big problem is staying healthy. Vick was plagued by injuries his entire career. Lamar Jackson is a modern day example, who seems to miss games and be banged up in the playoffs every year, but plays at an MVP level when he's actually out there. Numerous other dynamic running QBs have had the same issue. None have ever really just stayed healthy from my memory. The issue of staying healthy through a 16 (and nowadays 17) game season, and then being able to be at your best for the playoffs at the end of it is probably a huge reason why there are only 2 Running QBs to even reach the Super Bowl in Modern History (Cam Newton 2016, and Jalen Hurts this year). There are a bunch in the list of QBs that did make/win Super Bowls who could make big plays with their legs like Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Russel Wilson and Steve Young. But they were all Elite Passers who only ran opportunistically. They aren't viewed as running QBs. There's no official metric or distinction to decide who is a Running QB and who isn't so these lists are all subjective of course. I personally draw the line at whether or not that team's offense features a significant amount of plays that are designed QB runs from the start or not. By that metric, Jalen Hurts and Cam Newton are the only running QBs in modern history to make it to a Super Bowl (Both Lost).

He was a part of the same defense as Polamalu, but he was one of the scariest players to ever play. Great story too, he went from undrafted to possibly being in the Hall of Fame.

Ahhhh the million dollar question... do you want your dual threat QB to actually run? If he gets hurt, season over for the team. But then again... if thats what makes him special, how do you ask him to not utilize it? Youre also not maximizing his ability. Theres a ton of amazing running QBs in college, but they dont translate to the NFL bc they are asked to pass more, run less, be smarter with their body and they dont havs the passing capability. They are proven one dimensional and they flame out. Watch Denard Robinson University of Michigan highlights. Maybe the greatest rushing QB ever. He has the 2nd most rushing yards in michigan's 143 year history. And he was a QB. He is ahead of hall of fame running backs in the record books. He also had 6000 passing yards in 3 years. 4500 rushing. Its absolutely worth the watch.

Just wanted to state for anyone who doesn't know, but moreso for those that do and overlook it. Vick went to prison for fighting "pitbulls". For his own gain and entertainment. He also took part in TORTURING and MURDERING many dogs that didn't perform well. I was a huge fan till this happened. This is not something you forgive and forget imo. The dogs are the victims, not the criminals.

Yea to my mind hes THE most talented player to ever be in the NFL. Wasnt the fastest, strongest arm, slippery, etc but he was extraordinary in ALL of the categories and no one else has been. Even Lamar Jackson whos the closest thing we have seen to Vick just isnt the same, hes got a big arm too and hes probably even faster than Vick, but he doesnt make it look as effortless as Vick did, Vick looked like he was just a human shaped fluid out there and could do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. Then again I'm probably biased because Mike Vick was basically EVERYONE'S favorite player when i was in my youth. So there may be a bit of rose tinting on the glasses in his case.

Whether or not to minimize your QB running is always a point of contention. The thing about Vick was (and you won't really get a sense of this from a career highlight reel), he wasn't super accurate on short and intermediate throws which are essential to having true success as a QB. He threw one of the prettiest deep balls you'll ever see, but he struggled with touch and timing on shorter throws. But his rushing ability was such a threat that defenses often lost receivers because they were so concerned about him taking off. And that created much wider windows for him to throw the ball which sort of mitigated his relative lack of accuracy. So his ability to run and the threat of him running made him a much more effective passer than he would have been without it.

Sponsorship! Let's gooooo!!!! Anyway, yeah, the question of whether or not you want your star QB taking or risking hits is a question that has been asked since QBs started making millions of dollars. He was much tougher than most QBs and, while getting a little bit of a rap for being injury-prone, he did not miss a heck of a lot of time due to injury, he just was playing banged up a lot. He probably didn't play as long as he could have if he was a pure pocket passer but he had such a strong arm and ability to evade the pass rush that he did last longer than some other speedster, run-first QBs. You definitely have not seen anyone like him but you haven't watched Cam Newton yet. I personally think Vick was still better but Cam had a very similar style and skillset. He did start with the Falcons but they cut him when he ran into some very unfortunate off-the-field issues that eventually landed him in jail....I can't condone anything he did, in fact, it was all quite abhorrent, but I do get the sense that he has fully repented and all accounts of him since have marked him as a model citizen. But, damn, just damn....Anyway, he served his time then revived his career with the Eagles and finished it off with a whimper with the Jets (as most QBs who play for the Jets do).

To answer the question about teams: He was drafted by the Falcons. After returning to the league after legal troubles he was signed by The Eagles, and after a few seasons joined The Steelers as a backup for one year, then I believe was his one year stint in New York with the Jets before retiring. And when it comes to injury potential: Yes. He was injured often, and rarely played a full season. One contributing factor into why he did not see a lot of success in his career. The team was built around him, but if he wasn't playing 100% or playing at all things derailed quickly. Had a much more solid team in Philly and had his most succesful run there.

I dont remember who said it, but saw in a old NFL highlight video, Vick wasnt the first running QB, but it was the first time in the modern era that the QB was the FASTEST player on the field, the best athlete on the field. That was something defenses really were not ready for. They were used to 'mobile' QBs yes, that would scramble to make nothing into a 5 yard gain, to bite them on 3rd and 4th down...they were used to that. They were NOT used to that acceleration getting around the edge, juking their best tacklers, and running 40 yards.

When coaches make mobile quarterbacks stay in the pocket they are less effective and the offense loses a weapon. It's HIS style and the successful coaches recognize that and build the offense from that. He is what's known as a Franchise Player.

Vick became a much better passer after he went to PHI, he admitted he didn't really work until he got there, he was just using natural ability for most of his career. Also he dealt with rib injuries multiple times due to his size and running, so much so he started wearing flak jackets later in his career. Everyone wanted to be like Vick in his prime and it was well warranted. Edit- #2 was on the first play of the game and they blew them out that game so badly it is referred to as the Monday Night Massacre. Vick also played for the Jets and Steelers as a backup primarily towards the end of his career.

To your point at 9:14, the thing is Vick was not just the best running QB, he was one of the top 5 most elusive and fastest runners in the league at ANY position. So to just take that out of his game would be like telling Roberto Carlos never to join the offense or something. It’s a special instance… he wasn’t just a good running QB, he would have been one of the best players at any “skill” position… but he could throw with the best of them and had an effortless cannon for an arm. All this together made him one of the best QBs of all time. Also, you should see what he did in college… yeesh.

I thought someone else would have mentioned this but Vick is also a terrible person. He ran a dog fighting ring and cost the lives of many dogs. Good dogs that just needed a home. Instead he forced them to fight. Bet on which one would win. Vick will be lucky to be in hell because dogs go to heaven.

10:05 yeah the NFL protects the QBs now so the coaches dont have to. If a qb gets hit hard at all there will be a penalty now. Can see this in the NBA a lot now though, the big $ players are taking rest games and playing limited minutes to lower the chance of injury, which didnt use to be as much of a thing.
