He had Peerless Price as a number 1 in an era when it really mattered, lol. shyt if Vick had a Derrick Mason instead of Peerless Price...the falcons would have probably had a few double digit win years.

Alge Crumpler was doing well as the TE...but falcons didn't have what was needed at WR to be truly competitive for the era....it was brought up routinely by commentators of the time.
.

And let's not forget Roddy White struggled his first couple seasons....Roddy didn't break out until one Joey Harrington season and then Matt Ryan era.








The White pick didn’t always look as good as it does now, however. After totaling 952 combined receiving yards and three combined touchdowns in his first two seasons while struggling with drops, many were ready to vilify Roddy as a bust. There was even a report that during White’s rookie season, a Falcons’ assistant coach claimed that White wasn’t good enough to succeed in the NFL without any argument from other members of the coaching staff in response.

After those first two bad seasons, Roddy White’s career took off. He credits the arrival of longtime rival receiver Joe Horn as a catalyst for helping him turn his career around.

“Playing with Joe was the best thing to ever happen to me,’’ White said. “He was a guy who had been to Pro Bowls and he took me under his wing and really taught me what this league is all about. He’s the one who made me realize what’s expected of you if you’re going to be a good pro. He’s the one who taught me that you have to prepare mentally every day and you have to go out and practice hard every day. He’s the one who showed me that this game takes so much more effort than I was putting into it.’’

VICK WOULD BE INSANE
IN THIS OFFENSE FRIENDLY ERA
THE SAME WAY A.I. WOULD

nikkaS WOULD HAVE HAD LAMAR
PLAYING WR IN THE 2000S.

VICK CRAWLED SO LAMAR COULD RUN
:devil:
:evil:




Illegal contact enforcement could have huge impact​






Peyton Manning leaped to 49TD 10int that season.

Brady jumped into the 90s in passer rating and hit 4k passing yards for first time that season.




Lamar on the 2001-2006 falcons...not too sure how that goes. Lamar would be better off with the Ravens elite defense of the era and managing the game.

Vick was one of those phenoms, those lightning in a bottle talents that just took the league by storm. He’s the definition of “You just had to be there” to truly understand what Vick meant to people at that particular point in time. He’s the Allen Iverson of popular football.

Plus the dog-fighting scandal and how it highlighted racial differences in America, similar to the OJ Simpson case, just added to it.



With that said Lamar Jackson is better than Michael Vick. And really its not a debate.
