VirginiaMike Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Guys, I know back before the year started there was alot of discussion on whether the Bills should go after Michael Vick. Most folks were against it not only for moral reasons of what Vick did, but because we weren't sure whether or not he'd ever return to his more productive self. As it has turned out, he is even better than he was in Atlanta. Given that, in looking at what both Vick and Fitzgerald bring to the table I am not convinced that Vick could have performed in Buffalo as well as Fitzy has this year. Although Vick has great escapability, it's his pocket performance and his ability to remain there that is making him great in Philly. For most of the year the Bills really have not had any pocket performance because if the ball isn't out very quickly it's not coming out. Fitzy's strength is his making quick decisions and getting the ball out. Holding the ball in the pocket is not an option in Buffalo. I'm not sure Vick would have done better than Fitzy on the Bills this year. That said, as the team improves Vick would have certainly been a better long term QB solution, but right now I'm happy with Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzgerald is a WR for the Cardinals. Fitzgibbons is the QB for Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Duh...vick is rated number 2 in the nfl...Fitzpatrick number 20. Vick's rating is around 105, Fitz around 89. Vick's team is in playoff contention, Fitz is 2 and 9. How can you even think of comparing the two? http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/passing/sort/quarterbackRating/year/2010/seasontype/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
