There's a part of me that misses Vick in a Falcons uniform (he was the reason I started getting into football at all), but I'm very happy with how the Falcons have turned out without him. He's an amazing player, but the risk-reward drove me nuts as a fan, and he probably never would have gotten as good as he has had he not left Atlanta and had everything else happen to him. He's not the quarterback I remember watching - he's better. The injury risk is still very present, and he's never shown super consistency over an entire season, but he will carry the Eagles on his back some games to make up for it.
That being said, I cannot believe the Falcons ever survived the whole debacle. Kudos to Arthur Blank, Thomas Dimitroff, and Mike Smith for making a team that looks to be good for a while in a really tough division, and fuck Bobby Petrino.
