Agree or disagree?
I remember there was a time when I would have bet my left nut he would win a SB with the Falcons. Its hard for me to go as far as Cowherd, but I can't think of another name.

Ryan Leaf (remember, some folks argued he should have been taken *ahead* of Manning) should probably win it. Vick's up there, though.

I can't get Tony Romo out of my head when I think overrated.

He was extremely talented, just low IQ.

Before the scandal, didn't the falcons make Vick the highest paid athlete in all of sports at that time?
Factoring this in, I'd say he might be one of the most over-rated ever for sure.

Vick did make the NFC championship game once though, im sure there are more overrated people out there. Romo for instance as someone in this thread stated, although he did ball out last night.

When he first got to the league? Nah, he was legit. He was really the advent of the spread QB era. There had been mobile QBs before him but none as stupidly agile as he was. Now, in this modern era where every QB seems to run the read option or play the spread in college? Yeah, Vick is overrated as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

really depends if you count injuries and arrests and shite.
michael vick was an absolute stud and was going to be a star for years to come. that is just a fact as far as im concerned.
off the field shite cost him his career and fricked the falcons over and ruined everything. i dont really think he's overrated. he was every bit as good as people thought he was and now he's every bit as average as people think he is.

Vick has competition. Obviously Leaf was really overrated in hindsight but leading Washington State to the Rose Bowl is nothing to scoff at. Sadly, if we have this discussion again in 20 years, Robert Griffin might be at the top of the list because he can't be a pocket QB, which results in him getting injured frequently.
ETA: Based on draft position and production combined, Akili Smith (already mentioned), JaMarcus Russell (also already mentioned), and Joey Harrington deserve to be mentioned here too.
Vick was never going to be a Super Bowl QB. Philadelphia laid the blueprint to stop him in the 2004 NFCCG by forcing him right and make him throw from there, and he hasn't figured out how to adjust to that yet in the 10 years since.

Reminds me of the Rush Limbaugh incident a while back

Cowherd is a stupid douchebag.
In 2009 he claimed he had "inside information" that if Georgia didn't "win big" next year, Mark Richt would be fired.
Well, we know what happened. Georgia went 6-7 and Richt was not fired.
Before the concussion problems, Vick was a very good qb...not overrated at all.

Disagree. I'm not a vick or a falcons fan, but what a stupid sentiment. Vick could make a case there in his prime he was one of the best players in the league, and he led Atlanta to a few big playoff wins.
Jamarcus Russell was the #1 overall pick, can't miss prospect that didn't do a damn thing before getting fat as shite and dropping out of the league. Ryan Leaf didn't do squat. Didn't Akili Smith go top 3? Vince Young didn't do much. And the list goes on and on and on.
