PD I think there is a sitcom waiting with Peaches and her son on Oprano!!
I think he is a little optimistic about Vick. Vick is an awesome talent, but hard to surive in NFL as a running QB.

The original quotes when I first posted said 8-10 weeks. More optimstic reports are coming out after the game that say 6 and it looks like he definitely will NOT require surgery. Better guestimates will be out after further examinations tomorrow.
The real recovery time is likely somewhere in between. Basically same injury McNabb had last season, and he returned in 8 weeks. That would bring Vick back just in time for the Saints game.
The plans really aren't for Vick to be a running QB. It's definitely fun to watch him run as he's often the fastest man on the field. But the Falcons have been working hard on making him a better pocket passer. He's so fast that a lot of people overlook the cannon he has for an arm. If he can adjust his footwork just a bit so he's not always throwing off balance when chased, he's gonna be downright scary.
