But as long as he's as explosive as he is now, I think he's a fantatic weapon at QB.

This reminds me of the Joe Carter/Eric Davis arguments I had with Cleveland fans 20 years ago.
Now that both of then are retired we can evaluate their careers. I must now admit that Joe Carter was the better player and it was because he showed up and played every day. Eric Davis was flashy and looked like a world beater when healthy but his style of play led to many trips to the DL.
Michael Vick is getting an MRI today instead of going to practice and preparing for next week. When he's not in there the entire offense changes...the playbook, the way the O-line blocks...everything. The risk isn't worth it.
I'll take a big durable pocket passer like CP or Ben with some mobility. I don't want a statue back there like Bernie Kosar...
