I didn't take Michael Vick seriously as a QB before jail, and I certainly haven't done so since his return. But, in watching him tonight, it's a stunning development. Hitting 70%, Michael Vick? Is it possible that we're witnessing that so rare event where a pampered punk with all this ability has a life-altering event and actually changes? Did he always have the ability to do this, but because he relied on his athletic talent, didn't work hard, didn't study, we never saw it? Tonight he has 330 yards passing thru 3 quarters, 4 TD passes, 80 rushing yards, 2 rushing TD's, a completion % of 75%, and no turnovers. I keep thinking, why would Reid replace Kolb, the future, with Vick unless he has seen enough in games and practice to know that Vick now gets it, and combined with the ridiculous athletic ability is more than he ever bargained for? Whether it's real or not, for now it's impressive to watch.

The question is -- Can he continue to do it? One game against a mediocre opponent, however he may have learned a little. Reid is much better at coaching a QB than the staff on the Falcons. Also I could see jail and losing everything as a very humbling experience.
