How has Michael Vick fared against the job Geno Smith did as New York Jets starting quarterback?
Let's take a look at some of the important statistics. I decided to break down Vick's two starts and see how many times in his eight starts Geno Smith either matched or beat Vick's numbers against Kansas City and Pittsburgh.
| Vick | Completions | Completion % | Yards | Yards per attempt | Touchdowns | Interceptions | Quarterback Rating | QBR |
| vs. KC | 21 | 75 | 196 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 105.7 | 41.1 |
| Geno has matched or beaten | 3 of 8 | 1 of 8 | 4 of 8 | 2 of 8 | 6 of 8 | 1 of 8 | 0 of 8 | 3 of 8 |
| Vick | Completions | Completion % | Yards | Yards per attempt | Touchdowns | Interceptions | Quarterback Rating | QBR |
| vs. PIT | 10 | 55.6 | 132 | 7.33 | 2 | 0 | 116 | 85.9 |
| Geno has matched or beaten | 6 of 8 | 3 of 8 | 6 of 8 | 2 of 8 | 1 of 8 | 1 of 8 | 0 of 8 | 0 of 8 |
There are eight statistical categories. Over two games gives us sixteen fields. Out of those sixteen categories, Vick has beaten Geno's median game in twelve of them.
I don't want to make it seem like Vick is playing all world football, but the eyeball test has told me Vick looks appreciably better, and the numbers seem to back that up.
