5 reasons Michael Vick can lead Minnesota Vikings to Super Bowl

5. Dynamic playmaking ability

Though he is not the dual-threat dynamo he once was at Virginia Tech, Atlanta and Philadelphia, Vick still has a great athletic skill set to work with in his mid-30s. His arm strength has always been there and so have his legs. Vick has never been an accurate passer and health has been his biggest weakness on the gridiron.

Given that offensive coordinator Norv Turner’s scheme is archaic, often using five-to-seven step drops and fullbacks on over 50 percent of offensive plays, it could be rudimentary enough for Vick to pick up on the fly as the new Vikings starter.

Vick plays his best ball in a more traditional offensive set. A West Coast offense exploits his inaccuracies in the short game, and he’s too small to be effective behind a lean man blocking scheme up front.

Minnesota has strong offensive weapons and a great running game with Peterson. Vick had great success in both Atlanta and Philadelphia as long as he had a reliable running game to lean on. If Vick is happy managing games, rather than trying to make plays with his feet like he did a decade ago, he could work well in Turner’s offensive scheme.
