was there really that much talent there?

yesterday, when i asked a fellow how he felt about the "whole mike vick situation" his response after the long pause was about vick's talent on the field. specifically, how he would miss the unpredictable nature of vick's play. see to him it was all about the excitement of not knowing what was going to happen from one play to another. then i started to think was vick really that talented? i mean, yes, he has awards, but lest we forget none of those are superbowl rings! does vick's talent really even deserve this much hype?
