Vick to be paid more than Manning....

He will get more money because he appeals to more younger fans, especially black and latin urban fans.
Manning is a much better quarterback, but he is also a good ole' boy from Tennessee. I don't see anybody wearing is jersey outside of Indy.
Vick's body will never make it in the NFL for a long period of time, and when he can't run anymore, his arm will not save him (because his throwing ability is so-so).

Meh. It's always like this with contracts in pro sports. The latest one leapfrogging the one before. Of course, in the NFL, these salaries often get restructured(i.e. reduced) towards the end of their contracts. I don't think the Falcons are in a good situation by having to tie up so much money on a fragile 6-ft runner playing on astro turf, but they don't really have a choice, I suppose.

its a foolish move, there is no way he'll be running like he is 5 years from now let alone 7.
Vick is essentially a very fast running back playing the role of QB. Running backs usually don't last that long unless they are built like tanks, of which Vick is far from a tank as he relies on speed and finess to gain yards.
Stewart was far more valuable as "Slash" than a full time starting QB. But somewhere somehow he convinced himself that he was a good QB and didn't want to be considered anything else.
Great athletes such as Stewart and Vick should swallow their pride and just play to whatever their team needs them to do. You could always tell the opposing team was crapping their pants whenever Stewart came out onto the field and lined up in an akward position, you knew they were thinking "WTF are they going to try and pull here?"
Pittsburgh did get a player similar in situation with Randle El, he does kick returns, plays as WR, and can even throw passes like he did vs. the Giants for a TD on what was an incredibly successful trick play considering he often gets handed the ball to run with as well.
If Atlanta could have bagged themselves a real QB as well and use Vick in such senarios I think they'd be even better off, but obviously that can't happen now becuase Vick has obviously convinced himself he's a QB just as much as Stewart has, if not even more so because of how the media nuts over him. (I always find it kind of funny how all his commercials seem to imply he takes every snap 80+ yards for a TD when I believe he had his longest run this year of just under 60 yards and I don't even think it was for a TD...)
