WHAT IS THE REAL REASON WHY THE MEDIA IS TARGETING MIKE VICK?!?!?!?!?!
- Philip Rivers has 16 turnovers. (9 interceptions and 6 fumbles) 6 fumbles from a QB that doesn't run is incredible
- Mike Vick-1632 yards, 8 TD's-8 Ints vs Phillip Rivers- 1492 yards, 10 TD's,9 Ints
- Andy Dalton, media darling,12 Turnovers
- Brandon Weeden, 11 Turnovers
- Ryan Fitzpatrick, who just got a huge contract also, 12 Turnovers
- Tony Romo-11 Turnovers
- Mike Vick on and off the field are humble and likeable personality according to players and coaches. You have never heard any player speak out negatively about his personality. Phillip Rivers on the other hand, is known as a brash, trash talker. He is a love em or hate type of guy. (I actually love em) Search for quotes about him if you don't believe me. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said: "I don't really care for the guy, first of all. He's not a respectable guy right now because you talk too much trash and do this and that, but you're really not a great player in this league right now. You're surrounded by great players, but you're not a great player. I think he needs to understand where he stands in this league -- where he stands on his team first and foremost."
- Mike Vick as a starter the last year and this year-10-9 vs Phillip Rivers during the same time 11-1
So Mike Vick just got his 2nd $100 million contract. So what is he doing with his money. Doing a google search you would think he is being frivolous with this money. On ESPN.com and Yahoo.com a week or so ago I saw articles titled, "Michael Vick has spent $29 million since filing for bankruptcy"
So of course I'm thinking like any other person would be thinking. "Really Mike, you didn't learn from last time? Yet, when you open the article this is what you actually read..
- Reports state that Vick had to pony up: $10.9 mil to taxes, $9.2 mil to creditors, $2.7 mil to lawyers and accountants, and $6.8 mil to miscellaneous living expenses, including child support. That gives us the grand total of $29.6 million spent – leaving Vick with only about $1.5 million left.
So let's listen to quotes from guys who are a part of the media but are former players, a little more credible and knowledgable to what causes turnovers instead of just trying to create a story...
Kurt Warner-Just like what players and coaches do during the bye week I studied some film to see what is causing Mike Vick's turnovers. His turnovers come from 7 step drops where he is being forced to hold the ball and his protection breaks down and from plays where he runs out of the pocket trying to make a play. He is a play maker and his natural instinct is to try to make a play when it's not there and things like that happen.
Warren Sapp-You can see on the film the defensive players are not hustling or were playing for Juan Castillo.
Michael Irving-When the defense is not playing well and puts you in bad situations, your offense tends to have to pass more and take chances. Mike Vick is a play maker and has to try to make plays which will lead to turnovers when you are playing from behind and trying to come back.
So why is the media trying to have Nick Foles play? They love to attack certain players for whatever reason. Look at Cam Newton. The analysts are frankly mad that they were wrong on Cam Newton. They are upset that he had such a great year last year and their egos were hurt by this. Now that Cam is having such a bad year this year, they are piling on. But wait, is Cam having that bad of a year?
