Marty Mornhinweg Thinks Michael Vick Could Be Better Than Steve Young

All I have to say about that.

Steve Young is a Hall of Famer and Vick is a dog killer. He didn’t drug them or do it humane he drowned his dogs. Philly is a joke of a franchise how they act as if this animal cruelty mastermind is there new savior. I guess its easier to forgot a man killed for pathetic reasons and did it to make more income for his pathetic family. Now Nike supports him and they say “he has paid his dues”. Well what dues do you mean?Huge contract? City full of idolizing inbreeders? Apparel contracts? Ya I am pretty sure they are 2 different men Young and Vick and one has a ring and a hall of fame nod while the other will never make it in and will never get a ring. Sorry Philly will not win a bowl with Vick.

Vick will never be able to do everything else a quarterback needs to do as well as Young did. Not even close, as it happens. This is just an outright silly statement … I was initially going to set out to debunk it by talking about specifically how they are different and how Vick clearly will never be as good a quarterback as Young but … really?

C’mon man.

This is complete and utter huffing and puffing as in complete BS. His ceiling due to his athletic ability is still through the roof even at his age. He applied himself for one offseason and a lot of people here wish they had him on the team. Not to mention Young started for what 8 seasons? Vick can play 8 seasons if he loses the no sliding mentality. And in those eight seasons with more film study and mechanical work he can be better. It’s not like every Qb can spend multiple seasons behind the best Qb ever. I think that all that have said this is soo far fetched or whatever you call it is not being realistic. Homerism if anything, is at the tip of the tongue. Its a possiblility, and without his 1 Superbowl would Young even be an MVP? 2 4000 yard passing seasons and 2 30 plus td seasons? is that it? Oh yeah the completion pct. is way up there, and Vick is a lot lower, however the dynamics of his legs changes the game for the Rb and wr’s, you have yet to see his best. His fauts as a QB can be improved, I mean really?

Michael will never be the leader on and off the field that Steve was. And that is not a knock on Michael its just the truth. Michael might be the better athlete and might have the better cannon but he will never have the same mind for the game that Steve has. Its obvious that Michael still depends on his physical abilities to win games. Steve at the peak to the end of his career could beat teams with both his athletic abilities and his mind

BOOOOOOOOO!!!

Why the hell can’t Vick be as good a QB as Young? I mean, Young was my idol as a kid but as rlott#42 said Vick had ONE season where he was trained to be a pocket first QB, and he put up some astounding numbers. I am a strong believer that Vick will continue to improve into his second season as a pocket first QB, and who knows how much he can improve? He certainly has the tools to be an elite QB, and Vick didn’t get 4+ years to train under a HOF QB and coach like Young did. Even as a pure scrambling QB he took the Falcons to the championship game. The jury is still out and let’s just wait and see what the future holds for Mike Vick before writing him off.

I didnt know God himself was a fan on this site. I love Steve Young but how the hell can yall say that you know for a fact that Vick wont be better. I think yall should say u “hope” he’s not a better QB because you hate him as a man.

I love dogs. However, some of you “dog lovers” are freakin hypocrites. I love people more than i love dogs which is why i dont agree with the military and the killing of human beings. With this being said, i dont hate every soldier like you guys hate Vick.

Some people are hall of fame all pro all star HATERS!!

I bet u guys have a neverending list of people you hate.

would you hate him as well?

Its mentalities like this that make the world what it is today

It is not just legal, but also the National Pastime. Here in the US, it is illegal and morally unexceptable in our society. So I don’t care about the dog issue.

The Issue, is that this bonehead said that Mike Vick could someday become better than Steve Young…..as he said, he “THINKS” that he could be better. Me thinks that he is not even close.

If you want to compare Vick to anyone and who he may become, it should be this guy…..

He plays for the Eagles.

Vick never took those devastating rookie year hits that most QBs endured…he spent 2 years “resting” his body while in prison. There is no reason to think that he cant play anywhere between 6 to 10 more years. There are plenty of QBs that played till they were 40. If Vick improved his skills in the pocket in 1 1/2 years, there’s no reason to think that he wont continue to improve. Making the decision to slide is a very simple one. Barring one hit, the guy wins the MVP last year.

What player plays every game of every year of the career…Steve missed a bunch too

you’re still talking about one year

I’m sure u remember how many big hits Steve took and he was nowhere near the size of Vick. Injuries are a part of the game…Vick has not missed considerate time throughout his career. Especially since he doesn’t run as much as he used to. Out of 8 seasons he only missed more than 1 game 3 times not to mention 5 pro bowls. Just about the same as Roethlisber

Steve Young only played 3 complete seasons out of 15

Every NFL player is gonna get hurt again.

To throw for more than 24,000 yards and 181 TDs from this point forward? What about 5 more Pro Bowl Performances? Or, a 65.5 Completion Percentage?

Because this is exactly what Young did after he turned Vick’s age

as a player nor as a person. People need to quit this BS that he has the potential to be better. The correct statement would be that he had the potential to be a better player. Last season was Vick’s best season. He would have to replicate that season 7 more times to pass Young in TD’s, 7 more times to pass him in passing yards! Then when you look at the human side of things Vick will never touch Young. I’m getting so tired of hearing how he grew up in that culture. I grew up in the south and know kids that have been around dog fights, but guess what they grew up and realized it was wrong and never did it themselves! There’s a lot of people that grow up around people that are bad influences but are smart enough not to do them. Vick threw away 4 years of his career(I count the season he came back but didn’t play much as a lost year) that will keep him from ever touching Steve Young as a person and in the record books, and as far as I’m concerned he threw away the right to be in the same sentence as Steve Young.

And don’t bother replying with the he served his time BS"get over it". I understand he served his time and I hope he lives a better life now, but Vick will never be Steve Young.

3000 yrds a year for the next 7 years not to mention he’ll have more rushing tds then any other qb ever by far and he wont need that completion % to make the hall of fame.

BOTTOM LINE: Vick has the chance to become the most dynamic player to ever play the game. Its not all about stats. If Vick somehow wins multiple rings and makes multiple pro bowls and gets a few MVPs then what? You simply cannot say w/o bias that he’ll never be as good or better then Young. Unless ofcourse you’re able to fulyl measure and calculate someone’s potential by looking into some crystal ball.

He takes more sacks per attempt than Alex Smith. (9.4% vs 7.3%)

Before anyone wants to bring up the Eagles line, even the unimpressive Kolb was only sacked at a rate of 7.9%.

And that has been a problem for him his entire career.

The problem is that the pass protection is designed to create a pocket. If you run around outside the pocket you have no protection.

Steve Young’s career completion percentage is 64.3%.

Michael Vick has completed more than 60% of his passed only once: 2010 (62.6%).

So, Steve’s CAREER number is better than Vick’s best SEASON.

Put down the purple drank, Marty.

Young couldn’t beat the Pack at Lambeau in below zero weather, as a matter of fact Favre is 32-1 in those conditions, only loss was to a Vick lead team. I dunno, but, its gotta stand for somethin.
