Now that the Atlanta Falcons have once again failed to successfully complete back to back  winning seasons, one must  ask the question: Is Michael Vick's skill set a blessing or a curse.

Exhibit 1: Vick has such an outstanding skill set (strong arm & amazing quickness). that one has to argue if it would ever make sense for him to just become a "pocket passer. This season, he stayed in the pocket more than any previous season, and their 8-8 record was the end result.

Exhibit 2: Because Vick rarely throws the long ball consistently, receivers are unknowingly put in a "Receiver Purgatory" when they sign with the Falcons. The Falcons have had several decent receiver's whose numbers have suffered considerably as a result of Vick's passing consistency. Peerless Price had a bright future ahead of him before he signed with the Atlanta. Price is now on the verge of being out of the league.  In comes Michael Jenkins, who was supposed to be the new long ball target. Jenkins is now feeling the heat. If he is smart, he will get out before his numbers suffer any further. Now there is the "aspiring" rookie Roddy White. White will likely suffer two more years of mediocre numbers, before his contract is up for renewal. If he is lucky, another team will realize his unused talent and take a chance on him at that time.

Exhibit 3: Coaches are being hung out to dry because they can't seem to find the perfect offense that will showcase ALL of Vick's talents. The first victim was Dan Reeves. Now the Atlanta local sports talk shows are calling for the head of Jim Mora. Mora introduced the Run and Shoot offense to compliment Vick's skills. However, this just resulted in a worse record than last year. I don't know if there is a coach or offensive coordinator out there that could design an offense to accentuate Vick's skill set at the QB position.

So ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have to ask you to decide if the defendant (Michael Vick) is a blessing or curse. Should he be found to be a blessing, the Falcons will continue to muddle in mediocrity while Vick continues to stun us as the "Human Highlight Film" of the NFL. Should you find him to be a curse, he will be stripped of his starting position as a QB and lined up at wideout and halfback. This will allow him to totally confuse opposing defenses and allow the Falcons to possibly make it to the big game one day (Super Bowl).

If the QB position does not fit, then Michael Vick must sit!
