[QUOTE="Falcon_fan, post: 30361, member: 400"] [u][size=6][color=yellow][b]Vick not so different from a young Favre[/b][/color][/size] [/u] By Jeff Schultz The Falcons have had two defining trades in the franchise history. Brett Favre wrecked it. Michael Vick is starting to make up for it. Vick hasn’t won a Super Bowl yet. He doesn’t have Favre’s Hall of Fame credentials yet. Largely because he’s viewed as some alien life form that the NFL hadn’t seen before, he’s certainly not as widely revered as Favre, despite a [color=yellow][b]68.6 winning percentage [/b][/color]and coming within one game of the Super Bowl in only his second postseason. [color=yellow][b]But it’s with some irony that Favre and Vick will meet again Sunday for likely the final time.[/b][/color] Green Bay is 1-7. Favre is on pace to throw more interceptions than at any point in his career (he has 14 in eight games) and it seems unlikely he can rationalize it’s worth coming back for another year of Packer misery. The Falcons are 6-2. Vick is coming off an I’ve-got-your-efficiency-rating-right-here performance against Miami, and the franchise is set up for the future. Three years ago, we could see both coming. Three years ago in Green Bay is when it all turned. The Packers had never lost a playoff game at Lambeau Field. Vick had never started a playoff game. But he threw a touchdown pass, ran for 64 yards and the Falcons buried the Packers 27-7. Favre was intercepted twice, sacked twice. Vick: zero, zero. [color=yellow][b]After that game, the two quarterbacks spoke, and it’s a conversation Vick hasn’t forgotten. “He told me that I was going to be a great player in this league and that I was going to have a great career,â€[/b][/color] [/QUOTE]
