The Facts:
Vick faces his most critical season yet, and ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski -- currently ranking each NFL starting passer -- believes we're about to see his best. "Vick has shown he is capable of throwing the ball exceptionally well from the pocket. His overall throwing skill set can be top-five in the league," Jaworski said on ESPN.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
But for those high hopes to amount to anything, Vick must stay on the field. That's been a problem for the veteran quarterback. He hasn't played a full 16 games since 2006. When Vick was on the field, we saw him fade down the stretch. The 2011 edition of Vick wasn't the electrifying version we saw in 2010, either. "His objective in 2012 must be to play that way more often," Jaworski said. "It becomes an availability issue. You can't be an elite NFL quarterback if you can't be counted on every single week. I am really excited to see Michael Vick in 2012. A more disciplined player will result in fewer turnovers. I would not be surprised if we're getting ready to see the best year of Vick's 10-year career. ..." More positive buzz for a guy who seems to be going a bit later than you'd expect in recent mock drafts we've conducted. It'll be interesting to see if his ADP rises above it's currrent fourth-round level as the season draws nearer.
