Is it Mike Vick's fault?

I am a huge Falcons fan, and Vick fan. I hate that he keeps getting blamed, when it's his receivers that can't catch a ball to save their lives. He's so much fun to watch - they better not bench him!

Vick is an amazing quarterback no questions about it, the guy is the fastest player on the team and in a close 2nd is Dunn however The reason for Atlanta's poor play is mainly like said here before is due to his recievers not being reliable...the only guy Vick can rely to catch the ball is Alge Crumpler and anyone else is questionable. The Falcons need to trade Schaub or start picking up some wide recievers who can help this team make it to a championship.

Great comments. I am so happy that Mora got fired. They really need to find a coach who can work with Vick to help him reach his full potential. The play calls all year have been questionable and that's totally Mora's fault. Can't wait for the new coach announcement!

Its not Vicks fault he has carried the falcons. The falcons have drafted recievers every year in the first round and still havnt found any consistent ones. Alge Crumpler is the only one that has proven he can catch. I do think Vick needs to add more touch on the ball sometimes but other than that he has carried them.

No it's not his fault, it's his offensive line and wide receivers fault. I truly understand his frustration.

No way is the Falcons' poor performance Vick's fault. He is great fun to watch and if his receivers can't catch and the rest of his team can't step up to give him the opportunities to get the ball downfield without having to run it himself, then how can that be his fault? :P One of the reasons I like to watch him play so much is that he runs himself so often. I would hate to see that discouraged, though I do realize he runs the risk of injury whenever he does it. However, he's pulled his team out of a lot of tough situations and scored them a lot of points by being willing to take that risk himself.
