Michael Vick has a big fan in Tom Brady.
Brady, the Patriots’ quarterback, settled in on Monday night to watch the show that Vick put on in leading the Eagles over the Redskins. And Brady said today that he was blown away by what he saw.
“He’s pretty amazing as an athlete,” Brady said on WEEI. “I was watching the pregame and Steve Young said, ‘He’s the greatest weapon at quarterback that there could ever be.’ I totally agree with that. With the way he can move the football and his style of play, and when he throws the ball like he did last night, he’s damn near impossible to stop.”
Saying that Vick is “The greatest weapon at quarterback that there could ever be” seems like hyperbole, and there’s actually a case to be made that Brady had a better game on Sunday night than Vick did on Monday night. But Brady is just like everyone else who watches football in watching Vick last night and coming away amazed.
