“I always looked up to Mike Vick and I always will, because I still think he is one of the best quarterbacks,” Pryor said”

*******

I've always said Vick was THE most overrated player in the NFL. We've heard ad nauseum what a talent he is, but I've repeatedly seen him do things in the passing game good quarterbacks simply don't do. He runs well, but that pretty much sums it up. Pryor clearly doesn't have any concept of what it takes to be a great quarterback.

"I've always said Vick was THE most overrated player in the NFL"

The fact of the matter is the most important quality in an NFL quarterback is intellect, period. NFL offenses are wildly complicated things, and NFL defenses are equally complicated. A QB's ability to read those defenses and make good decisions with the football is the primary factor with respect to what makes a great NFL gunslinger.

Sure, Vick can scramble. But, that only gets you so far in the NFL, as Vick has learned.
