Michael Vick has a living, breathing Porsche lined up on the outside. It's time he lets it do the driving.
The Steelers are 1-1 since Vick stepped in for an injured Ben Roethlisberger (MCL sprain). Even a 23-20 OT loss to the Ravens could've been avoided with a competent FG kicker. But while the results haven't suffered drastically, the play of Antonio Brown has.
You Can Go Back To Not Caring About Kordell Stewart
In his first three games of the season -- with Roethlisberger at the helm -- Brown had 29 catches for 436 yards and two TDs. Since then, he's only accumulated 87 yards on eight receptions.
None found the endzone.
Don't think Brown is prepared to let Vick forget about it.
Big Ben Trying To Come Back Sooner Than Expected
"He's got to take some shots," Brown said from his locker Wednesday, per ESPN. "I told him, trust me a little bit. Let me make some plays. Let's get a victory.
"It doesn't have to be that hard."
Vick does excel at missing open receivers, I'll give him that. @Steelers

Vick himself hasn't lost faith, adding: "Trust me, those plays are going to come."
This isn't a personal vendetta -- Brown went as far as admitting that Vick isn't intentionally avoiding him during his progressions -- but it's still an issue that needs rectifying in Roethlisberger's absence.
The Vick that was, no longer is. In fact, the Vick that was is now lined up at WR. It's time the current Vick consistently finds him.
