Many <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> fans recall <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-vick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Vick</a> as one of the most talented quarterbacks the league has witnessed over the past two decades. Now eligible for the Hall of Fame, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback has been discussing his prospects of entering the Hall in Canton, Ohio, in the near future.



In the 2001 NFL Draft, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons</a> decided to use their 1st overall pick to select a quarterback. Michael Vick was the best prospect in his class, and he surprised everybody with his extraordinary athleticism and dual-threat ability.

Vick’s college career began at Virginia Tech, where he was a standout player. He earned a reputation as one of the most exciting and dynamic college quarterbacks in the country.

In the 2001 NFL Draft, Vick was selected as the first overall pick by the Atlanta Falcons, becoming one of the league’s most prominent young talents. He then played for the Philadelphia Eagles and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, finishing his career in 2015.



Vick’s playing style, characterized by his incredible speed and elusiveness, revolutionized the quarterback position, making him a unique and polarizing figure in the NFL.



Despite personal controversies, including legal issues related to dogfighting, Vick made a comeback, playing for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a> and several other teams, earning four Pro Bowl selections.

As previously mentioned, Vick retired after the 2015 season while playing for the Steelers. With potential induction into the Hall of Fame on the horizon, he has been candid about his prospects of donning the coveted gold jacket in the near future.



“Realistically I feel like I ain’t do enough,” Vick told The Boardroom: Out of Office podcast (55:43), per Bleacher Report. “I feel like I did my part for the history, for the sport and the revolutionizing of the position, and that’s enough.”



<h2>Does Michael Vick deserve a spot in the NFL Hall of Fame?</h2>



As Michael Vick himself has stated, he revolutionized the quarterback position. When he entered the league, he astonished everyone with his athleticism, evolving into a dual-threat quarterback capable of both passing and running effectively.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231011#BUS#74250"></div>


His numbers are really impressive. The former 1st overall pick finished his career with 169 total touchdowns, 22,464 passing yards, 6,109 rushing yards, the league’s record for more rushing yards by a quarterback, and the first QB in history with at least 1,000 yards rushing in a single season.

Most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> fans will often talk about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a> when talking about the greatest coach in history. His résumé speaks for itself, and he did turn the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> into one of the most dominant dynasties ever.



Still, some debate whether Belichick was just a byproduct of Tom Brady’s greatness, especially after watching him struggle to win since his legendary QB left Foxboro.



Whatever the case, former NFL superstar Michael Vick still doesn’t think Belichick should be considered the GOAT coach. Instead, he gives that distinction to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a>‘ veteran Andy Reid.



<h2>Michael Vick Says Andy Reid Is The Greatest Coach Ever</h2>



“I was actually thinking this year like, after Andy won the Super Bowl, he only got two, but he went to like four or five NFC Championship Games [and] every year [the Chiefs were] in the AFC Championship Game,” Vick said on the It Needed To Be Said podcast. 



“He might be the greatest coach of all time,” Vick added. “You don’t have to win championships to be considered. You know, I understand [Bill] Belichick and [Tom] Brady and that whole dynamic. But Coach [Reid] did it in Philly, and then he doing it in KC. I’m always shout out coach like I love that man to death, like for real literally I’d do anything for him.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230705#BUS#23632"></div>






Reid has obviously done more than enough merits to at least be a part of the conversation. He might not have as much silverware as Belichick — for now — but when it comes to offensive masterminds, he might as well be second to none.

The reason why an NFL legend thinks Belichick is not the greatest coach of all-time

NFL legend reveals the GOAT coach and it's not Bill Belichick

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a> is considered as one of the greatest coaches of all-time, if not the best by some fans. However, an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> legend thinks the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>‘ member falls short of this status due to a very important reason.



23 years ago, the New England Patriots made a franchise-altering decision. The AFC East team signed Bill Belichick as their head coach, and he has since proven himself to the squad by winning six <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowls</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230613#BUS#9970"></div>


Belichick holds the record for the most Vince Lombardi trophies as a head coach with six, followed by Chuck Noll (4), and Bill Walsh and Joe Gibbs (3). However, an NFL living legend believes he is not the greatest of all-time and has a compelling reason to support this claim.



<h2>Michael Vick thinks Andy Reid is the best coach of all-time over Bill Belichick</h2>



Belichick’s success is undeniable. The 71-year-old is considered as one of the greatest coaches of all-time thanks to his six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, but not everyone thinks the same.



Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick is among those who share this sentiment. He considers <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andy Reid</a> to be the best coach the league has ever seen, and there is a particular name behind this belief: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a>.



“He [Andy Reid] might be the greatest coach of all time. You don’t have to win (as many) championships to be considered,” Vick said during an interview with Tyreek Hill on the “It Needed To Be Said” podcast. “You know, I understand Belichick and Brady and that whole dynamic. But coach [Reid] did it in Philly, and then he’s doing it in KC.”



Reid, who previously coached Michael Vick during their time with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a>, had also won a Super Bowl as an assistant coach with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> in 1997. Presently, he continues to achieve remarkable success with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a>, building one of the most formidable rosters in recent history.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230703#BUS#22178"></div>


As for Belichick, his career without Tom Brady has not been very successful. Over a decade without the legendary quarterback, the head coach has amassed a losing record of 79-88, statistics that support Vick’s claim.

NFL legend: Bill Belichick falls short of greatest coach of all-time for one huge reason

It seems like forever since people raved about Michael Vick’s incredible play. He was a superstar for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta Falcons</a> and one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Top-50-greatest-quarterbacks-in-NFL-history-20200522-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">greatest quarterbacks</a> in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> history, but it all ended too fast.



Vick’s involvement in dog fights pretty much doomed one of the most promising careers in the history of this beautiful game. He even went to jail when he was still at his peak.



That’s why the former Falcon, New York Jet, Philadelphia Eagle, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steeler</a> recently looked back on his life and career, and lamented the fact that he didn’t have a father figure to listen to at the time.



<h2>Michael Vick Reflects On His Career</h2>



“I wish I had a father figure or somebody in my life — and I did, too, for the most part — but not to the point where somebody was like, ‘Yo, man, you can really screw all this up,’” Vick said. “Ain’t nobody came and said, ‘Bro, you can screw all this up.’ One person [did], I won’t say his name.”



“The whole time like I was gone I thought they was gonna wait on me, but that was wishful thinking,” Vick said. “Like, I really thought like they was gonna wait for me to get back and all this would be over and then I step back in, be the starter, and we just move on like nothing ever happened. But that’s not reality. And I was hoping for something that just couldn’t happen.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230704#BUS#22716"></div>


It’s a true shame that Vick’s career didn’t turn out as good as it could’ve. He was the first legit dual-threat quarterback, and one of the most impactful and talented athletes in the history of the game, but his life choices always stood in the way.
