This is something I've actually wondered about myself. Marcus Vick is an amazing talent. A complete jerk, but an amazing talent. If any team were to take a risk on him, why not Atlanta? Who better to help keep baby brother in line and out of trouble than starting QB Michael?

I am going to say there is a 90% chance Atlanta drafts him two rounds too early and if he sees any legitimate playing time at all they will convert him into a wide receiver and/or corner/safety.
But who knows, if The Falcons trade Schaub away and Old Vick goes down with injury, Baby Vick might get his chance. Wow, thats a lot of speculation.

That addition will definitely boost team chemistry!

I am betting against it...saddled with one Vick is enough for Atlanta...two means passing up a player who would make more of an impact...Atlanta does not need to push baby sitting duties on a starting QB.

[MJHMarc]

Good way to put it Gotham Dark Knight.

By the way, what pick does Atlanta have?

So what do you guys think about the question posed in the thread title - if Marcus keeps out of trouble, is there any chance he will wind up being a better NFL quarterback than big bro Michael?

Not a chance...he has raw talents but big brother has more leadership skills and QB savy....

Its not like Mike Vick has set the ceiling all that high. Given, it is still early in his career but until Mora diverges from the west coast offense, I think Vick's success will always be somewhat stagnant.
Ultimately, though, Marcus will probably never surpass Mike in productivity.

But I thought Marcus was suppose to be the better passer?
