Mora Afraid To Bench Vick Because He Is Black

[jjgold]

City of Atlanta has lots of black power

Schaub is 200% better

It is going to cost Mora his job

Congrats to Mora Sr. for saying Vick is a coach killer

Vick has a place in the NFL as an offensive player but not a QB

[bigboydan]

It's definatley time for a change in Atlanta. I do agree with Schaub being the better QB to run this offense. I'm just wondering if it's too late though for Atlanta this year is all.

Stupid owners who give running QBs 100 million plus contracts deserve to get fukked

[moses millsap]

They need to fire OC Knapp first, then there might be some hope (though unlikely with Vick's attitude and lack of ability to read a defense).

[onlooker]

They should bring in Schaub at QB, and move Vick out to WR. So he can use his speed and moves in the open field. Maybe do some reverses with him. Mix it up. They are going nowhere with him at QB.

[HAPPY BOY]

Vick will never be a great QB. All the arm strength and speed = CACA, forget the black vs white issue Mora needs to put on a pair and make the change. Otherwise he'll be standing next to Vick in the unemployment line.

[jjgold]

Vik can be great at WR or running back

[BuddyBear]

He's making way too much to be benched....

[JT16]

What about Vince Young? Does he fit the Vick mold?

[goldengoat]

it's cause of his contract that he is not being benched or moved to another position

he is making a ton and they dont wanna admit it was a dumbass move to pay him so much

[rm18]

What about Vince Young? Does he fit the Vick mold?

no, Vince Young may be a decent runer, but he is slow no comparison

[Razz]

Young in his first year is a 10 times better decision maker than Vick in his 7th (I think) year.

I've always been a Schaub guy as well, and certainly think he deserves a chance, but to be fair, Atlanta's receivers are pathetic, and as OWNED said, Knapp is pretty terrible.

[moses millsap]

I'm not sold on Schaub like the rest of you. Vick certainly is a detriment to the Falcons' offense at the QB position. He simply can not put things together and read a defense correctly. The fact that he can't control his emotions might be even worse when he's the one that is supposed to be leading the charge. He's fed up with his WRs and I just don't see how he's ever going to achieve the level of success that is expected of him in Atlanta. I hope they don't go on a run and make the playoffs, because I've seen enough of the Michael Vick experience.

[Scorpion]

Michael Vick is stoopid!

[jjgold]

Young looked good yesterday but too early to compare. Vince is a better passer though.

[Sam Odom]

To the title of this thread.

It would be naive to think the color of his skin does NOT play a big role in Atlanta's decisions. Sad! But it was less than a month ago the Big National Sports Media had Vick as the 2nd coming of jesus christ. I didn't buy it! I loved N.O. yesterday.

[pags11]

schaub 200% better...that's funny...

[imgv94]

I've been on the Schaub bandwagon since his days @ Virginia..

everybody in America are scare of blacks. You say one wrong thing or accidentally say the "N" word and you will get sue.

They always use the "500 years old slave" as their excuse to get away with everything.

[homedog]

I can't believe that another team has not made a run at Schaub and also that Schaub has not made a push to be a starting qb elsewhere.

It is hard to say how he would pan out but the potential is definitely there.

[Willie Bee]

So you're saying that those black receivers won't drop all of those passes if the black QB is benched?

Willie Bee, you've made a common mistake there. You're trying to apply simple logic to a jjgold post.

[MickChunky]

Earlier today when I talked to Michael Irvin he told me Shaub was a very good running QB and that must be because he's got some african american in him somewhere

All flash, no substance, Vick

Talk about going into a time warp with this old thread Mr.Pavy.

[McBa1n]

haha damn, look at all the names that are long gone.:/ Drag, some friends in the lot.

[mlb]

Haha what a thread ... 5 years ago wow

[priskilla22]

Wow... Did you guys hear about Eli Manning refusing to sign with San Diego?

[neverstoppers23]

Schaub is better!

100 percent of GMS would disagree.

I hate to bring race into it... but the only black QB to win a super bowl was a pocket passer... So that means a black/mobile QB has never won a super bowl.

It isn't race related, but the best way to build a team is around a pocket passer... if he is a tiny bit mobile like Aaron Rodgers, great... but you don't want your QB running around getting hit. Over 16 games and 3 more playoff games, there is a 100% chance an extremely mobile QB will get hurt.

[neverstoppers23]

Just because no black team ever has had the team around him doesn't mean shit. Of course a run first QB, is going to be hard to win in this league, because its a passing league now. All the rules favor passing. But Vick is a great passer and has a great arm, to say race as anything to do with that is bull shit.

If Vick had a field goal kicker last year and a the packers defense. Does his team win the super bowl, certinaly looks that way to me. Akers missed an easy kick early on which changed the game dramatically.
Look at the last few super bowl winners, and put Vick of last year on their team as the starting QB. Do they win, I think basically 100 percent of the time , the answer is yes. Yes they would have.

whoa whoa, Eagles would have had to go through the Bears if they beat the Pack, and Vick has NEVER beat the Bears in his career (0-4 I believe) so assuming the Eagles go into Soldier Field and win is tough, mainly b/c I was at that game and it was around 9 degrees, snowing, and windy and I can't see Vick playing well in those conditions. My toes were frozen!

[jjgold]

LOL

Now I am a major Vick fan

This this thread was 5 years ago

[NYSportsGuy210]

Just saw this thread form 5 years ago.....and I remember this day and being ecstatic as a Giants fan. No more Kurt Warner!
