Someone's gotta ask, Vick anyone??

[Mike]

Hell no.

He sucked as a QB. I am not sure him and Matt were best buddies when they were together.

He is an amazing athlete, but not a QB. I'll pass.

Everybody likes to talk about bad he was, but he was plenty effective as a QB. He won games and made the Falcons a better team.

When he bootlegs a few times a game, it means that everyone on the back side stays home and the MLB doesn't fill as hard on the running plays. So every runing play basically gets a 1-2 man advantage on the front side. That's how the Falcons led the NFL in Rushing with Warrick Dunn going for 1400+ at 5.1 ypc. Just compare the rest of Dunn's career to when he played with Vick. Vick may not be able to pass at all, but he makes the RBs 10 times more effective. Plus he almost never turns the ball over. This makes him ok in a ball control, run based offense for a team that wins with defense (what the falcons had when they went to the NFC Title game). I bet if you put him on the Ravens, they win more games than they do with Joe Flacco next year.

With that said I wouldn't touch him for our team and our offense in a million years.

He ran this offense in Atlanta. Not Kubiak's version but he ran a WCO. And he played under Gibbs.

McNair would never go for it, IMO.

Vick was an amazing athlete, no doubt, but he was never an amazing QB. Sure he can make some big plays with his legs, and he can get by on passing, but he is not the guy I want leading the team on a full field 2 minute drive.

I think he is too much of a cowboy and more interested glory to be a true team player.

[HPF Bob]

I don't think he fits a Kubiak offense any more than Vince Young would. I'd let this pass.

Local ABC-13 sports anchor Bob Allen said last night he hears the Pats might take a shot at Vick. Interesting. I doubt it, I'd put my money on the Raiders
if I had to speculate on a single team which was most likely to take a chance. In some ways Vick is really quite compatible with the Raiders image.
Personally I think Vick has more than paid his dues and should be immediately released to sign and play in the league on day one of the regular season. He was imprisoned for 2 years and lost atleast millions, probably tens of millions of dollars over this. Actually I've always felt his punishment was too harsh. But clearly this current suspension is the league worrying about being hassled by PETA/national media over this thing.
We are set at QB and have more important things to focus on this season without bringing in such a controversial figure as Michael Vick, and it would never happen anyway with such a goody-2-shoes owner as Bob Mcnair.
Having said all of that, I think he could help us or any team in "Wild-cat" formations, if the price for his services was right ?

Apparently, the Deadskins are interested. Which should tell you all you need to know about Michael Vick at this stage of his career.

Pass.
