I don't know the stats on Vick's passing, but I gotta believe that it is better than average. Again, not sure, I'll have to do some research..
But to answer the question, Vick, hands down.
T.O. is over rated. I've seen SOO many of his catches that he was more lucky to have caught them than it took talent to catch them. It's almost his hands are made of rock, and the ball bounces around between them before he gets his claws on it/or the refs call it a catch. Don't get me wrong, he's talented. But, still, over rated.
There are about 4 or so other WRs that I'd take over T.O. Fitzgerald, Moss, Boldin, and Reggie Wayne are 4 just from the top of my head that I'd take over T.O.
Oh, and my team needs a QB.
As far as the morality of Mr. Vick.. He's paying his dues now. And you better believe that the NFL will still penalize him when he's done with his sentence. When/If he gets reinstated, I gotta believe he'll come out a smarter, better human being. What he did, was wrong. But I also recognize that he's human, along with the rest of us. Not to mention.. I hate to say it, especially to those of you whom are dog lovers (this includes me), but, his victims.. were dogs. Not beings capable of moral fiber and emotional or logical decision making. Murder of a human being will ALWAYS be the greater 'sin' over the murder of a dog.

TO is 5th all time in receiving yardage, 2nd all-time in receiving TDs. I don't see how anyone can say he's overrated.
Yes, he drops balls. But no one can cover him, just like no one can cover Randy Moss.
Fitzgerald is the ONLY one who has the potential to be the next TO. I already said Moss is better, but TO is consistently good, every year.
Now, here's something that's shocking. This is TO in the 00s in Receiving TDs:
2001 - 1st place in the NFL
2002 - 1st place in the NFL
2003 - 10th place
2004 - 3rd place
2006 - 1st place
2007 - 3rd place
2008 - 5th place
He scores TDs. He's a monster.
Now Michael Vick. Only played one whole season in his career. One. Injury prone like crazy. Not only that, can't throw the football. He only had one season where he threw over 80 rating (81.6). His max TDs was a whopping 20 (which is a really bad year for Brett Favre for example). His next best year, he threw a whopping 16 TDs.
Granted, he can run. But he can't throw. If he was running for 10+ TDs a season, then I'd consider him more, but his max TDs rushing was 8.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a scrambling QB, but you have to throw the ball as well, which is something Michael Vick can't do.
Sorry Formo. As much as I usually agree with you on everything, I completely disagree on this one.
