Besides, winning a Super Bowl doesn't always mean you are a great QB or even very good (eg Rypien, Dilfer, etc.). He gets hype because (a) he is young and (b) he is a Steeler, not because of how he has played (especially in the playoffs or Super Bowl).

He might not be 100% this year, I'll give you that. But his awful streak started well before the motorcycle crash and everything else since then.

Not that I am a fan of Vick, either. Unjustified hype in any case is annoying. But Vick is definitely playing well and deserves some kudos for his play this year.
