I like it when people start criticizing and complaining. He tells me that the fear of change
it is in the air and so they are forced to face it. It means to me
that someone is doing something right. Of course, there are those who charge for
utter a derogatory word to keep any exaggeration at bay, especially in sports where
the business of hype often generates more revenue than the business of sports
itself. American football is the most popular sport in the world, so the hype is something that
don’t really need But something is happening now that the league doesn’t
ask: A major overhaul of the entire look and feel of the game.

Soccer is a team sport, much more so than any other major sport. that in itself
makes this phenomenon even more significant than it would otherwise be. In sports,
there are few legendary talents. Athletes who possess intangibles that football players
similar talent no. Then there are those who elevate the status of their sport to
heights never before seen or imagined. But there is another level of athletics
aptitude defined by players who possess so much athletic genius that the game can
it no longer contains them. They can’t help it, it just happens. They not only play the
play. They change the game.

We saw it in basketball with Michael Jordan. We are witnessing it now in golf with
Tiger Woods. Baseball had Babe Ruth. Wayne Gretzky did it in hockey. football can
thanks to Lawrence Taylor for changing the way defense is played. Now you can point to
MVProdigy as the One who will raise the bar for the future of professional soccer.

Mike Vick is the most exciting player in football, if not the most exciting athlete in
Sports. He has lifted a perennial underdog to elite status in the National Football League.
His team, the Atlanta Falcons, is a legitimate contender to win the Super Bowl. Hears
He is the most feared player in the league. Period. While in college at Virginia Tech, he
was promoted as ‘The Future’. His movements with the ball cause a future hall of fame
defensive backs seem to belong in Sunday school. It is fitting that it be a
Falcon because once it takes off, you’re not going to catch it.

If You Didn’t Know Mike Vick Is A Quarterback, You Wouldn’t Guess From This
description of him.

Vick isn’t just a quarterback. He is a game breaker. An MVPlaymaker. He is he
Experience. He makes it happen. Without him, the Falcons have little chance of even
making the playoffs, let alone contending for a Super Bowl. The Falcons have quality
players who can win games, but without Vick they could beat USC.

Anyway, I don’t like what I hear about MVPeriod. people who think that
I know football says it’s too one-dimensional. and will have to learn to pass first
if he’s going to take his team to championships. Why does it matter if you can collect 40
yards with your legs after the line protection is broken? Or if he is able to fight for
Another 15 yards after he picks up the blitz on 3 and 8? But wait. it’s not alone
running for positive yards adds value to this player. His legs have the ability to
avoid defensive pressure and eliminate a quick 7-yard pass play in 1st or 2nd
down. Those are patios created by instincts created by the situation. This is the way
MV plays it. Other QBs can lose 7 yards on the same play or throw an interception.
Vick throws picks or gets fired like any other QB, but most of the time he
will create something out of nothing. That is the MVexPerience. The NFL doesn’t
realize yet, but the days of the prototypical 6’5″ QB receded being a commodity
are passing quickly. That player won’t completely disappear – look at Peyton
Manning and Tom Brady, but in the next 10 years, as football produces more
and more MVPretenders at QB, NFL teams will need to adjust their offense
philosophy to take advantage of these immensely talented players.

Strong winds of change are reshaping the landscape of American football. Some
are having a hard time accepting that superior players will rule the future, not
only of football, goal of all sports. It’s no longer about 300 yards, 2TD afternoons
but about the inevitability of the MVPrototype becoming the future of the NFL QB.
Eventually the critics will have to sing MV Praises.
