See. Vick is a coach killer.

RE: Mora jr. FIRED
 

Yes he is, Mora Sr. was right, If it would have been up to me I would have traded Vick away instead of firing Mora, the Falcons will continue to struggle as along as Vick is the QB.
Vick is there to sell tickets, period.

"Vick is there to sell tickets, period."

When I read this, ltf, I could't help but imagine vikie before next year's season opener at his new gig at the Atlanta Falcon's ticket booth, eying the concession stand seeing if he could rush there and back in time for his supervisor not to notice.. :lol: :fanclub: :fanclub: :fanclub: :fanclub: :fanclub: :fanclub:

LOL Kuke...

That's funny!! :lol:

Vick selling tickets?, he wouldn't have much room in the booth to run around in.

I don't think this was Vick. I think Mora fired himself with those comments about the Washington job.

If you've noticed how hands on Blank is, you had to know Mora's radio interview was going to be unforgiveable.

i wonder how many coaches will be fired because vick just isn't a good nfl qb.

I hate to see him go. He was our best secret weapon! As far as Vick is concerned, I don't think he'll ever be a consistant QB. Far be it a great one. Remember who his cousin is!

This is a true statement and also when you have an athlete at QB you really need to play to his strength and incorporate the traditional QB qualities as the season goes on. There are a few coaches who do this well and off top that comes to mind is Fisher for the Titians, see McNair and now V.Young

.. . Mr. Blank is not "hands on", he's meddlesome. You do not grab your coach's shoulder and decide to have a chat with him during a game. Period.

... and, Mora Jr did play to Vick's strength, running the ball in space, as evidenced by Vick breaking the 1000 yard rushing mark. Don't you remember the early season hype about the unstoppable Falcons running attack? The problem for the Falcons is, that's the ONLY strength Vick has. Vick does not have QB skills.

..and do not put Steve Mcnair in the same sentence.
With Vick and Young.
McNair has QB skills. He's a well rounded QB who happened to be mobile.
Vick doesn't have QB skills. And Vince Young, so far he's shown he can run, but let's see how well he does the next couple of years.

Tobias it's called coaching simple as that so no matter how you put it comes down to that and how long did it take McNair. Vick is the franchise so coaching will be the key to the Falcons and for Vick. It takes a few years just look at all the running QB's that had good futures in the league (Steve Young)

What are you talking about? Why you keep on bringing McNair into this? Now Steve Young?
Mcnair and Steve Young actually have QB skills.

[quote="Tobias-Reiper"][quote="BIGEASY504"]That was exactly the image I was thinking of when I made my post. I've never seen an owner do something like that.

Yo, here's a twisted thought. What if Jimmy boy made those comments on the radio because he knew that was one way out of the HELL :twisted: that coaching the Falcons has become. You never know. :wink:

I think it was his comments that got him fired.

I am a Aaron Brooks fan, and I hope he can get with a good team.

good choice there, brooks sucks.he will be out of the league in 2 years

spkb...
Where you been man?
We didn't see you here last week.
Your 100% right on Brooks btw.

working all the time ltf. i work sundays during the day now so i always end up missing the games now. hopefully we play on sunday in the playoffs because my next sched has me getting off at 430. so at least i will catch most of the game

... you may have a point there. He quits, no guaranteed salary. He gets fired, he takes a sabbatical, and still gets paid.
