If the article stated that TE was better than Mike Vick nobody on this board would be pissed. (for the record he also said that Tony Romo, Aaron Rodgers, and Matt Cassell, all of whom are better than TE, are also comparable.)
While Mike Vick might not be as good a passer as TE, he was / is exciting and teams have to game plan for him. He might not have won the Super Bowl in ATL but he did take them to the playoffs.
Until Trent has a winning record AND can actually stay healthy I would rather take Mike Vick. Again, not saying that he would get us to the Super Bowl but he'd probably have a better record.
