Maurice Clarett is a Damn Loon -- Now he wants to play both sides of the ball.
Leak Commits to Gators -- Leak used Sunday's nationally televised commitment speech to do a little recruiting of his own, calling on, "the best players in the country to join him at Florida and win a national championship." The buzz here this week has been just that. "There are a couple top players that have come up to me this week and told me wherever I go, they want to come with me," Leak said. "And that's an honor. That's how you build national championships."

Crow, A Dish Best Served Cold

Ok, I held off as long as possible. Its now time for me, to tell you I was wrong, and admit that Mike Vick is a quality NFL quarterback. I doubted. I doubted longer than anyone I know. But I will say it now, Vick is the real deal. I am a traditional quarterback guy. A John Elway fan. I have now drawn a new conclusion. Mike Vick is not simply an evolution at the quarterback position, he is a destination.

Vick has done things all season long that should have opened my eyes. I should have seen it, but I was blind. "He has no experience, college or pro." I would yell. Well it hasn't made one iota of difference
"He carries the ball like a loaf of bread, its gonna kill him." I screamed. It doesn't matter.
"They could have gotten LaDanian Tomlinson, and built around him." I insisted. That would have been stupid. "He is going to wind up injured, and then what?" I asked. It hasn't happened.

Even though the Chargers can't be upset about the way things turned out, (it was a good deal for both teams) If the Falcons had Tomlinson and a mediocre quarterback, there is no way they would be in the playoffs, let alone a playoff winner.
Mike Vick is the most exciting player to watch in the NFL right now. He makes things happen. I still have reservations. I think a quarterback should look to throw first and run second. I don't think Mike subscribes to my theory. He will learn. He damn well better as he gets older.
I don't think that the emergence of Vick means an end to the pocket passer, because he does things that other quarterbacks can't do. I also don't see another player on the horizon that can do what he does. So there will always be a place for a guy like Drew Bledsoe. With that said, Vick will be in a class by himself. A Michael Jordan type player for the NFL. A guy that does things that other quarterbacks only dream of. That in itself makes him something special.
Don't think for a minute that I am piling on a Falcons bandwagon. They could win every game from here to eternity, and I would not bat an eye. But I hope that Vick's growth continues. He is something special.
