Marcus Vick is not Michael Vick.
He threw for a career best 280 yards against BC last night, but dosen't seem to take over a game like big brother. Mikey seems to dominate a game, Marcus seems a little unsure. He has a poor delivery, and doesn't seem to have the arm strenth. He is fast, though-way fast.

1. You're right - I think Marcus is much better.
Michael Vick has to be the most overrated QB in the entire NFL, IMHO...but truthfully I've heard many other people say this too.

I think Marcus is already much, much better than his big brother and will be better than him in the future (minus the herpes, too I hope...yuck).

2. I completely concur
Michael Vick is one of the best athletes I have ever seen. Faster than 99% of players and has a cannon of a left arm, problem is he's not a great decision maker(throwing the ball) and he has no accuracy, the only starting QB with a worse completion percentage than Vick is Gus Frerotte. I think the OP had it write when he said that Marcus won't dominate a game like Michael will. When I see Marcus play, he reminds a lot of the guy the Chargers decided to draft instead of Michael which is Drew Brees.

3. Marcus can throw a ball better
Michael has regressed, I think, since coming into the league. He has a cannon, no question, but it seems like every ball is the same, cannon does not equal touch (see Jeff George, best arm in 30 years, no touch, no judgement) Michael will be out of the league in four years with injuries, if he keeps as he is. He is damn fun to watch though.

You want a passing quarterback who is a threat to run, not a running quarterback who is a threat to throw. Hey, Vince Young, stay in school, learn to throw better, it'll pay off big time.

4. As it relates to Vince
I think that unless he gets told he's first round material, which he won't, he's not coming out.

6. I also think
Your Jeff George comparison is a bit off. Jeff George's biggest problem wasn't that he had bad judgement or no touch, it was that he was a dick.

7. Is it True
Does Micheal Vick really have herpes or did this woman just say he gave her herpes? I know he is being sued over the herpes issues, but I have not heard him come out and say yes he has herpes. I am not trying to criticize you for saying he herpes; I just want to know if he came out and said he had herpes. So does he really have herpes?

9. Yes.
He does really have it. I don't know whether or not he actually has come out and admitted it, but he was sued by a woman and paid her off because he couldn't prove he didn't have it. I used to go out with an NFL player and it was pretty well known around the league that it was true.

11. Questions
What was the NFL player you went out with like? Has Vick done this to other women?

5. Michael Vick isn't even "Michael Vick".
He's the most overrated player in the NFL.

8. He's not...
and that's a GOOD thing. Marcus is much more at ease passing than Mike does.

10. Michael did dominate unlike Marcu
Marcus has benefitted from being surrounded by a good team

Michael was the team in his college days
