I underrate Vick because he is seriously overrated. He is a running QB who is completely ineffective when you keep him in the pocket. Look at what the Eagles did to him for the past two years. The formula for beating Vick is so startingly simple I'm suprised more teams haven't figured it out:
Do not rush Vick
+ Keep him in the pocket
---------------------------------
You win
The Eagles punished Vick in last years NFC championship game, including a hit by Hollis Thomas that I desacribed as "Thats what it looks like when human being is hit by a vending machine", by letting Vick come to them.
If you take away Vick's legs, his arm will do more harm than good for the Falcons.
