,...and a lot of other teams. Vick stinks (or stunk) as a passer. He's spend how many years in the NFL and he's still not got any more of an idea about coverage schemes than some camp fodder street FA QB? Jason Marquis comparisons are also valid.

BTW-The key to football is blocking. No one could have run behind the horse$#*t blocking effort by the Chiefs at Indy. The Chiefs should have docked the O-linemen the cost of a round trip flight to Indy, a hotel room and a game ticket. They only watched. The Chief OL sure as hell didn't play any football that afternoon. :rant:

Yep...I live in ATL and watching the games with Schaub at QB was actually fun. Schaub knew how to read defenses and was a decent passer. Vick, while a good athlete, wanted to run the show HIS way and (most of the time) it just didn't work. Naturally, it was the old "blame the coach" game and they fired Mora. To make matters worse, the Falcons also decided to trade Schaub this past offseason. :?

I HATE FOX NEWS.

I HATE THAT FOX NEWS IS ALWAYS ON TWO OF THE EIGHT TELEVISIONS IN MY GYM'S CARDIO ROOM.

I HATE THAT THEY FLASHED HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE video of dogs attacking each other on the tv next to the game I was trying to watch.

I hate that they attempt to be some moral bastion - yet - that channel shows more images of Lindsay and Paris and Britney than any of the other 6 channels (*INCLUDING MTV and VH1*) and I hate that there must be enough people wanting to watch that channel that it must be on two televisions.
Every channel I saw last night were showing those videos over and over.

That was a large mistake, trading Schaub and keeping Vick(even before this dog fighting circus came out); Vick was just enough of a player that could have attracted an audience in Houston for his antics, moreso than Schaub will attract crowds because of his talent and their talent around him(not enough of the latter). I'm not saying Schaub's amazing, but he'd have been better than Mike Vick.

The only TV I generally see is the 8 screens at the gym for the most part. That was the only place I saw that video.

I guess it was terrible because I was sort of either forced to watch it or literally turn my head away from the game. It was revolting.

I am so glad I've been too busy to watch much TV lately and have not seen those.
