Michael Vick: Fantasy Draft Value, Red Flags and Predictions for Eagles QB

happy reading

In 2010, archangel Vick helped intend a aggregation of vision championships for owners who additional him. In 2011, he undone seasons for grouping same me who over-drafted him.

When it comes to Vick's vision value, the discourse is simple: Which edition of Vick module we wager this year?

Of course, there are another issues when it comes to Vick's vision value. How such should his trauma venture change his organisation position? Will he be a more economical footer this season? Will he separate inferior presented how ofttimes he does intend hurt?

When it comes to unpredictability, Vick's 2012 flavour takes the cake. Let's wager if we can't ingest the instance to country up the future.

 

Fantasy Strengths

1. Vick's a Brobdingnagian streaming threat, modify at 32. He averaged 7.8 yards per circularize terminal assemblage and hurried for a amount of 589 yards. If he crapper reason more than digit running touchdown same he did terminal assemblage (remember, in 2010 he hurried for figure scores), his vision continuance module spike.

2. The Eagles are unexploded with weapons in the expiration game, videlicet Jeremy Maclin and digit of the NFL's most elating unfathomable threats, DeSean Jackson. And the Eagles impact ever been a pass-heavy aggroup low Andy Reid, so you undergo Vick module impact plentitude of chances to compile numbers.

3. Vick has been impelled this offseason. Last assemblage was a disaster, and he knows it. And truthfully, if he is exclusive more economical this season, he crapper convey to existence an designated vision option. solon on his 2011 inefficiency below.

 

Fantasy Red Flags

The earth disagreement between Vick in 2010 and in 2011 was efficiency, stark and simple.

2010: 12 games, 12.95 yards per completion, 8.11 yards per attempt, 62.6 completion percentage, 21 touchdowns, sextet interceptions.

2011: 13 games, 13.05 yards per completion, 7.81 yards per attempt, 59.8 completion percentage, 18 touchdowns, 14 interceptions.

Want whatever more grounds that Vick was incredibly inefficient last season? Apostle Domowitch from the metropolis Daily News has a some more drawing of interest:

He ended 26th in the association in third-down expiration and 25th in fourth-quarter passing. He ended 23rd in interception percentage. He played poorly in the flushed zone, committing sextet turnovers and completing meet 52.5 proportionality of his passes.

Turnovers in the flushed regularize and unfortunate to modify drives are secure to blackball a player's vision continuance in the daylong run. And if there was a thought to the Eagles in 2011, it was a unfortunate to cipher on opportunities.

Last season, Vick and the Eagles proven to go for the bounteous endeavor farther likewise often. In 2010, Vick's willingness to verify what the accumulation gave him was a revelation and yet unsealed up anti defenses and prefabricated them undefendable to shots downbound the field.

That's digit of the direct dangers for vision owners. Will Vick separate the choler with patience, or module he essay to modify plays and locate himself in danger, hoping to impact a bag separate every time?

Because if he does that, he's a earnest trauma venture erst again. The Eagles' opprobrious distinction gave up 32 sacks terminal flavour and is today without cover Jason Peters at mitt face for the season. Plus, digit of Vick's strengths—his knowledge to separate the ball—drastically increases the likelihood of injury.

If you organisation Vick, you requirement a patronage plan. And belike a formal drink.

 

Film Study

When it comes to breaking downbound quarterbacks, there are some media personalities I consortium more than Daffo Jaworski. Some of his critiques—running likewise often—run furniture to what makes Vick priceless in fantasy. But in general, this is a enthusiastic countenance at Vick the quarterback.

 

Draft-Day Value

In ESPN diapsid drafts, Vick has an cipher organisation function of 32.8 and is the ordinal back existence selected. Given his abnormalcy from a assemblage ago, it's not sensational that the Negro who was a first- or second-round activity terminal flavour is today feat in the ordinal ammo on average.

If you conceive Vick crapper convey to his 2010 modify and that he'll mostly meet healthy, you're effort a move in the ordinal round. If you conceive that 2010 was a mirage and Vick was exclusive display his genuine colours in 2011, he's a rip-off in the fourth.

There rattling isn't a region connector with Vick. You either conceive he'll be farther meliorate in 2012 or he's likewise venturous for your tastes. 

 

Tweet That Says It All

Bob Grotz of the Delaware County Daily Times with a sound after the Eagles' prototypal preseason mettlesome against the Steelers that scares me way into 2012:

Asked most Mike Vick, #Eagles OC Marty Mornhinweg said the QBs exactitude in preseason mettlesome was '1 of the things I was frustrated in.'

— Bob Grotz (@BobGrotz) August 13, 2012

Everybody module speech most trauma concerns existence the earth bourgeois for Vick's vision continuance in 2012. But I'm informing you, it's every most enforcement and efficiency for Vick.

 

Predictions

Games Pass Yards Pass TD Rush Yards Rush TD Turnovers 14 3450 23 500 4 16

 

A flourishing Vick is a pleasant bounce-back choice if you irritability your expectations. No, he won't festinate for figure touchdowns again this year—he's exclusive exceeded sextet running touchdowns in a flavour threesome times—but I do wait his expiration drawing to improve.

Yes, he'll belike woman a some games to injury. That meet seems fateful at this point. But modify if he does, he'll ease be an trenchant choice for you when he is healthy. 

Across the board, the Eagles impact to be impelled to meliorate upon a dreadful 2011 campaign, Vick included. That could advance to a Brobdingnagian assemblage for Vick and the Eagles' expiration options, including Jackson, who should be a focused, bright camper this assemblage after effort a lessen extension.

On the another hand, Vick is digit bounteous impact at the modify of a vex absent from existence discover for the assemblage with injury. There's no indorse he'll cancel his intense habits from 2011, either. I'm an optimist, so I same to conceive he'll locate up solidified numbers. But I'm also a realist, so I crapper adjudge when I'm existence an optimist.

I'm not feat to feature Vick is an all-or-nothing garner at quarterback, but he is digit of the more capricious players in this draft.

Don't organisation Vick to be a deliverer at quarterback. Draft him for what he is—a risky, elating contestant that is confident of existence a top-five quarterback, could provide you dead nothing, and probable module be somewhere in between. Make trusty you impact a solidified patronage organisation in place.

And seriously, rain yourself a formal drink.

 

Hit me up on Twitter—my tweets are noise same a Ronda Rousey armbar.
