Vick probably would've had a better career if his draft position coming in wasn't so high (and if he didn't go to jail obviously) There was no rookie cap on QB's back then so the Falcons were paying him tons of money and wanted to protect their investment rather than have him run around out there and risk getting hurt. Mora tried to handcuff him and force him to play a style he couldn't really play. Blank thought he was going to be their guy for 10+ years (and not to bring race into it, but obviously ATL huge black population so this was $$$ motivated)
Lamar can just play, there are no stupid NFL axioms holding him back. Ravens just let him go out there, make plays, there is no fear of failure or going against stupid NFL norms. That is what is so refreshing about watching his ascendance. How out of the box it is.
