Cut short due to prison. So not overrated.

Nobody ranks him with the GOATs. He's probably the most elusive QB we've ever seen. And he had a strong arm. But who do you think is overrating him and how?

Would have loved to see Vick in a modern college offense. Also pound for pound one of the toughest guys to ever play QB.

This whole concept/phrase has been so beaten into the ground it means nothing any more

Most athletically-gifted qb ever.
Played for a shite franchise the first half of his career.
Strongest arm I’ve ever seen in-person.

He was one of those players that the stats don’t show what he actually was

When he was on the field, he had every person’s undivided attention

The rushing element was pretty important to his impact on an offense. Also I don't think anyone is rating him as some top QB of his era or anything. He was just fun as hell to watch

Nah, man, Vick was sensational and a threat to score every time he touched the ball.

This dumb "ESPN First Take" thread has been nicely dismantled.

Yea, definitely not a greatest of all time quarterback, but a guy that had a uniquely electrifying skill set. It feels easy for those two statements to stand side by side.

Tua Tagovailoa is the most overrated player ever. Excessively hyped in college to the point that crap NFL teams were actually tanking games so they could draft his noodle arm.

I don’t ever remember him being really highly rated. He would have been better to not have been stuck with Falcons during his early career.

No …not to us who witnessed him… younger fans who didn’t see the impact on a game he had probably think so…

He also would’ve benefited if he actually gave a shite about game prep and not gotten involved in dogfighting.
