blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 So what do you all think about Michael Vick's rant Sunday about not getting the penalties called his way when he is hit and put on the ground, in his words "on almost every play"?

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Note: Yes, I'm a VT fan however I couldn't care less about Mike Vick in the NFL...don't really care for the NFL but still watch it 'cause there's not much else on on Sunday/Monday. Anyway, I did watch most of that game. The Giants probably did get away with more hits on the QB than what is typically seen during a normal NFL game. There were some "high shots" on Vick that likely would have drawn a flag had it been Brady, P. Manning, etc.... However, it will be very interesting to see what happens in tonight's game, especially since the Redskins (in particular, Me-lo Hall...another former Hokie) have run their mouths about going after Tony Ho, ummm, Romo and his delicate ribs...

deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 He has been getting nailed a bit more than he should be. He still should've kept his mouth shut. I like Mike way more than Meangelo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 So what do you all think about Michael Vick's rant Sunday about not getting the penalties called his way when he is hit and put on the ground, in his words "on almost every play"? I think Vick has a valid argument. No way any other QB in the league, aside maybe Newton, gets no calls like that. Is it the style of play? There has to be some sort of explanation.

blueinbama 259 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 He does get clobbered an awful lot, but he also holds the ball way too long on some plays. Then when he starts to scramble, he gets nailed, and that's understandable. What's a defense supposed to do when you have a quarterback who can hurt you as much with his legs as he can with his arm? But there have been some plays where he was in the pocket, threw the ball, and then he was leveled...no call. This is a tough one for the officials. But I think he would have been better off keeping his mouth shut and addressing this behind closed doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the hits he takes are after he has thrown the ball...would draw a flag almost everytime if he had "Brady" or "Manning" on the back of his jersey. He takes more abuse after he throws than any other QB in the league... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 933 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 He holds the ball too long trying to make a read and hasn't even been hit the most in the league this year as a QB. I hate the flags they throw now for clean hits on QBs. It seems to matter more who the R is than who the QB is IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditto 10 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I think Vick has a valid complaint, and I also hate watching the Giants using the excuse "its because he is a running qb" Vick has really calmed down to what he used to be as far as running with the ball, and a late hit is a late hit, I don't care what your style of play is.

I'm a tech fan, and I do think he should get more flags for gettin beat around a bit, I guess they are afraid PETA will hate on em for protectin him...lol, but don't whine about it!! What cracked me up is after a couple mins of complaining, he says he wasn't complaining, c'mon man, you're whining!!! Put on your big boy pants and get rid of the ball or take the hit!!!! You're def correct about Brady and Manning gettin some of those calls! Roesthisburger is another that dnt get some of those calls either.. and I for sure aint no Steeler fan!!! I dnt mind seein big R beat around some!!!!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I wouldn't call it complaining, I would call it making a point... Yep. The situation needs to be made aware to those people who aren't Philly fans or fans of Vick. Maybe the situation will be rectified. I agree that we are throwing flags for silly hits that are legal, but if you do it for one player, do it for them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on him for fighting his way back to the top. Get knocked around. Not get calls for it. And express frustration like a human being. Then apologize for it the next day.

vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 So do we know how many Roughing the Passer calls he gets compared to Brady and Brees? If we had those numbers, we could see if he was making a valid point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
