Michael Vick would be like the Tyler back Home in Lisbon, except, it was a Lot Bigger and Much More Hypercompetitive. The Rise involved Michael Vick's Real Life Cousin, Aaron Brooks, who was the only Saints Quarterback other than Drew Brees to helm a Playoff Win in their Lore, Allen Iverson, who still molds the kids, and Lawrence Taylor.
This is not my Favorite Chapter, because that was the Last One. And, City High Alumni Tim Dwight, who believe it or not is NOT my Favorite Little Hawk, or is Coach McCarney, but instead is one of my JEL Era Classmates at the DPH. This is not about High School, it is about the Atlanta Falcons.
Tim Dwight only became an Atlanta Falcon after the Intense Arguments and Equally Intense Trade Calls for Hines Ward fell through. Tim Dwight only became a Trade Piece to the San Diego Super Chargers when all other Options Fell Through.
AI and Vick still mold the Kids, and that put an eraser to the Invincible Lambeau Field and the Frozen Tundra everybody's Dad and Uncle Held like the Wisconsin Man said it was not real life. To the Wisconsin Man and His Family, it is still not real life.
The blender in these years is the Holder and Bay, as the Bay, Tampa Bay, became Division Rivals at this Time, and the Holder, the Carolina Football Panthers, held down real consequences. Carolina and Atlanta are the Only NFL/NFC Membership without a World Championship and Atlanta is the Only One Without a World Championship from the Pre-Merger Years.
Having to color it differently, as a St. Louis Man, I wanted that St. Louis vs. New England Super Bowl Rematch. That did not happen. I feel that Jim Mora,Jr. was another one of those That 70's Hires the Falcons comfortably rooted themselves into. Michael Vick was anything but the Consummate Professional and even for a Franchise that had not seen Normal, the Abnormal Explosion of Business was Abnormal.
Bobby Petrino only wanted to be with Michael Vick and that didn't happen. At this point in history, the Falcons did not have Back to Back Winning Seasons or Postseasons in their Club History, and that was later in the Ryan Years.
