Peter King's Top 5 Michael Vick destinations (guess who is #1)

But he's a MUCH better passer than both. Which makes the wildcat truly work ... again this is King thinking out loud and I personally disagree (as I've posted earlier) but it's not the dumbest idea ever and it doesn't HAVE to cut into Bree's throwing the ball.

Yes it does have to cut into Brees throwing the ball, unless the Saints go with an even less favorable run to pass ratio (which doesnt seem possible). There are a limited number of passing plays we can run each game. If you give Vick throwing opportunities, then by definition Brees is losing opportunities because he is not getting 100% of the throws.


Coach Payton explicitly said that the Saints offense has less interest in the wildcat than any other team in the NFL. Out of 32 teams, we are the least inclined to use the wildcat according to the head coach. That should have ended this discussion.
