Former Coach Says Falcons Turned Their Back On Vick (http://phillysportsdaily.com/eagles/2011/09/17/reeves-falcons-turned-their-back-on-vick/ - broken link)

Quote:
“When Mike really needed them they turned their back on him in my opinion,” said Reeves. “They could have been a big supporter and they let him go. I think it could have been handled differently.
Dan is totally wrong on this one. Vick put Arthur Blank in a position that the only rational thing the Falcons could do was to wash their hands of Vick.

Yeah, I don't know what the falcons were supposed to do. Releasing him was the right thing to do, regardless of how well he is playing now.

I thought it was a case of the world turning their backs on Ron Mexico-er... Michael Vick (sorry about that, my memory serves me right, my bad) and the world felt sorry for the Falcons for being stuck with him... then it was a miracle and the work of Tony Dungy that he got another shot with the Eagles.

Flashforward to Mr. GE, no... I don't think so. The media has been shoving the "Rematch" all up in our face... so why NOT talk about it?

It is getting old, the media loves to hype, anything is an angle, just play the game.

The old Michael Vick made an appearance last night in the GA dome.

Typical game for Vick last night, especially against a good team.....start out looking good, then look crappy, then get hurt.....and a cocky gesture to the fans on the way out for good measure (at least this one wasn't obscene though).

Vick is an overrated POS.

Vick is the most overrated athlete in the NFL. He is a great athlete but as far as playing a position like QB that requires very refined skills, he is not very good. He has like less than 10 300 yard passing in his entire career.
