Yeah I just meant if someone tried to say "insert your favorite team's QB" was definitively better. I look at like this: I would rather play against Peyton Manning or Drew Brees than Michael Vick. To me, I'm not trying to slight Manning or Brees because they are both excellent quarterbacks. Right now, Vick is throwing the ball as well as anyone (even if he doesn't throw up equivalent numbers, for example 300+ yards and 3 touchdowns passing.) The fact he can take off at any time just makes him harder to defend. I mean, I know none of this is a revelation to anyone. But am I making sense?

At least with some of the other quarterbacks, who are less mobile, you have a chance to disrupt their game by getting to them and laying hits on them etc. With Vick, that is so much more of a harder thing to do, which is why I feel that he is the last guy I would want playing quarterback against my favorite team.

I think maybe things had a little bit to do with the fact he plays quarterback, given the attention that is given to the position in general. I think it mostly had to do with the fact it was a case of gross animal abuse, and people are out of their fucking minds about that stuff. I think the acts were reprehensible, but there are guys that have killed human beings who got nowhere near the amount of scrutiny and public outcry. At the end of the day, Vick did his time, and by all accounts is active in speaking to the community against his past actions. Can he take back what he did? No, but he can certainly do what he can to make peace.
