Atlanta got the better deal. This is Brees' only good year, and the debate is between LT and Vick. LT is sick, don’t get me wrong. His numbers last year though, were on a horrible team that only had him as an option. Now that they are more balanced (yeah he has been banged up, but that’s not the only reason his numbers have declined) his numbers are more similar to other RB's. He had a hundred receptions last year and averaged 5.3 yards per carry. This year he is only averaging a mediocre 3.9 yards per carry and has a respectable, but not comparable to 100, 47 receptions.
Here is the most important fact. LT has been in the league since 01, and his team has gone 5-11, 8-8, 4-12 since. This year they are doing superb, yet he is not playing at his elite level. Those poor results over the years don't really show how the chargers got the better end of the deal.
As a starter, Vick has gone 21-10-1 (a tie to Pitt) in his career, and 1-1 in the playoffs (beating the Packers in Wisconsin).
He is a winner, bottom line.
