Mike Vick: Overrated Career or Disappointing Career?

[Dr. Narcisse]

I don't think you can say he was the most overrated. No one ever considered him the best in the league or anything close to it, unless you were talking about Madden '04, and then he was the GOAT.

Can't say he was the most disappointing either. I'd probably give that distinction to Jawalrus.

I used disappointing instead of bust. Thats why I didnt include Russell.

While Vick has had a good career. There was some thought coming into the league that he could be the best ever. The "Jordan of the NFL"

Thats why I said disappointing.

ETA: I still changed the thread title. Because I was going overboard with the "most"

i don't think vick is overrated, because nobody rates him

that one great year in philly vick was incredible

he's better than Matt Ryan for sure, if vick had all those weapons the offensive would probably be the most explosive of all time

 

[FaTaL]

he threw it away

 

[FTBS]

He squandered what could have been and ATG career. For all those mentioning busts or other disappointing QBs none of them still receive the reverence that Vick does. People have no problem acknowledging them for what they are/were.

 

[Point Blank]

Disappointing for sure. Dude was amazing to watch with ATL though..

 

[Leonard Washington]

I hate to say it but both

 

[zayk35]

Wasted potential. ..but damn good when he was on tho

jail ruined his career

dude was in his prime when he got in trouble and lost 2 years or so of playing

 

[SubLyminalz]

Overrated on here where he's treated like a hofer but dissappointing overall..

He had amazing physical gifts he should have been better..though I do think his lack of height is an issue it's why he can move the ball at will to this day till he hits the red zone and is a turnover machine because his short ass cant see lol

you can say this about every black community in the country.

No way he was ever overrated, I don't think we'll see a QB with that speed and arm strength for a long time. His career was definitely disappointing, he was Johnny Manziel before Johnny Manziel

Analysts say he didn't have the accuracy but i remember his receivers dropping his passes back in 2004-05, and they were passes right between the numbers.
