I’m only bringing this up because of Deshaun Watson.
The general narrative seems to be that when you’re competing at the very highest level of a sport, spending any extended period of time away from the game will make it very difficult to get back to the same level you were at before, and that’s basically what everybody assumes is the main reason behind Deshaun’s regression.
So when Michael Vick plays his first NFL season in 4 years, and he posts a 100.2 passer rating after his previous career high was only 81.6, I just find that very fascinating. In theory, that level of improvement shouldn’t have been possible given the circumstances.
