I think it's a well needed pick up. Obviously they needed help in the WR department, and Horn well give that help.

Well Horn is getting up there in years, but he's still a good player.  Vick has no more excuses, so I hope he doesn't mess this up.

That is pretty much what I was thinking.  He now has a good TE and WR now, plus some very good running backs behind him.  If the Falcons do not contend for a playoff spot, all is lost for them.

If Vick can't get it done this year I think it's time for the Falcons to move on with their franchise plans.

I think Vick needs to be fixed more than anything over at Atlanta. I'd like to see how Joe Horn plays against his former Saints.

I think they need to stop bugging Vick about throwing the ball... When he runs well, they usually win, when he throws well, they rarely win. Notice Atlanta always starts out like 6-2 and Vick is running all over everybody, then they say, oh dang  you'll never make it in the playoffs you MUST THROW THE BALL! Then they do and they have a collapse and miss the playoffs.

They got Vick because of his athleticism, not because he is a pocket passing quarterback, now let him be the person you saw when you got him and let him run!

I do not think you guys get it, the problem in Atlanta is not the WR's, Vick just simply is not a good QB, any QB that cannot work with 3 first round WR's, there is something seriously wrong with the QB

Joe Horn is not the solution either, because he is getting older, now if this would have been 5 or 6 years ago, this might have been a different story

Wow. I really didn't expect this. If Vick doesn't improve next year we know he is a WR killer.

dallas_cowboys3

He has already proven that he is a WR killer

Remember the seasons that Peerless Price had in Buffalo a few years ago, then once he got to Atlanta around Vick his career bombed

Then we have Michael Jenkins, an Ohio State WR and everybody knows how many great WR's, that school has produced and he has not been able to do anything under Vick

Then we have Ashley Lelie, he did pretty good in Denver, but once he got to Atlanta around Vick he flopped as well

Now if those 3 things do not convince you that he is a WR killer already, then I do not know what will

100% true. How many years are the Falcons going to give Vick to improve? He should be on a very short leash this year.

He should have a number set of the times he CAN run the ball not HAVE to run the ball due to pressure but CAN. He needs to start being a qb in the NFL.

You mean try to make him worth something? Or try to make him a good QB? You're right let's just stop trying to make him something he's not.

yeah, if we learned anything from star wars, this should be it (besides the fact that revenge isn't the answer to everything)
