In casually polling friends this week to ask them who their favorite quarterback of all-time is who did not play for their favorite team, the name Michael Vick was at least mentioned 100% of the time.
Vick, who played for the Falcons from 2001-2006, the Eagles from 2009-2013, and as I’ve forgotten, the Jets in 2014 and Steelers in 2015, did not have the best career but did impact more young football fans in the early-to-mid 2000s and again with Philadelphia than probably any other quarterback of his era.
Because above all else, we just want to be entertained.
