Michael Vick is the NFL MVP to this point – period. But that comes with a caveat.
In five and a fraction of a game this season, Vick has thrown 11 touchdowns to no interceptions, has compiled a 115.1 QB Rating and is completing 62.7 percent of his passes. The clinic he put on in Washington on Monday night (six total touchdowns, including four through the air) was freaking unbelievable. (I should know, I was up 50 points in my fantasy league and my opponent beat me by one because Vick racked up 51 points. I’ve never seen 51 points scored in a fantasy game before.)
Argue with those numbers and I’ll trump you with one: 0. That’s how many losses the Eagles have when Vick starts and finishes games this season. They’ve yet to lose when Kevin Kolb doesn’t set one foot on the field.
That said, allow me to play devil’s advocate for a second. These are the teams that Vick has beaten this year: Detroit, Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Washington. Not one of those teams has a defense ranked in the top 15 and Washington now has the worst defensive unit in the league thanks to that pitiful display it put on Monday night.
