I was never, ever in the Vick camp. He was ridiculously overrated from the start. But there doesen't seem to be much in the way of a gray area when it comes to the guy-- people either love him or hate him. Personally, I think he's that classic potential guy that's just a coach killer.

It cracked me up at the time, and it's even more of a laugher now, about how the Chargers got fleeced in the trade of the top pick that year. I mean, they got players and picks....and walked out of that draft with LaDanian Tomlinson and Drew Brees...two pro bowlers. And Vick has done next to nothing with any consistancy....yet people still hang on the guy's herpeed-up nuts.

Okay, just wanted to dig this back up. Seriously...now Tomlinson is the slam-dunk, record-setting MVP of the league, but one could certainly make a case for the phenomenal year that Brees is having with the Saints. And Vick is...well, still Vick.

How can anyone make the argument that Atlanta got the better end of that deal? Yet I still hear that. F'n crazy talk.

You gotta tip your hat to San Diego...they managed to avoid both Vick and Eli while gaining great players and value for the trouble.

They also traded out of the McDougle spot.

They dodged a bullet there.

Best pun ever.

That wasn't a pun, Einstein.

Yes, I know Norman.

Sure you do, pal. Sure you do.

Just an FYI... Brees wasn't a part of the deal.

The Chargers got LT and a 2nd round pick they used on a guy who's out of the league right now. His last name was Cody if I remember right. The Chargers picked Brees with the 1st pick of the 2nd round... which was theirs already.

Either way... the Falcons still got robbed.

PoopyfaceMcGee · December 12, 2006, 01:05:18 PM

Chargers also got Tim Dwight, FWIW. I guess the 2nd rounder they got was the next year? If so, it looks like that pick was actually used to draft Reche Caldwell. I'm not kidding.
