What the worse that can happen, If Vick doesn't work out we can use him like the Eagles are now. Just look at what Tennessee is doing with Vince Young and Chris Johnson. We could easily have that to, QB options, rollouts, Vick scrambling. He would go wild in the Georgia dome and Metrodome

What it comes down to is what do we have to lose? Vick on the Panthers would only open up our options. Hey, it might not work out, but we also won't be saying "What if?" On the contrary, Vick is still explosive and knowing his ability and competitiveness, I'm willing to bet that deep down he is itching for another chance as a starter. You would be surprised what a man who has been held down for so long can do once he is unleashed. Aside from the Vick matter, I'm all for Tony Pike or some QB with big upsides like size and arm strength. Whether he will be ready for week 1 is too hard to tell at this point, regardless, having competition in training camp is the best thing this team could ask for. Vick, Pike, Moore, Delhomme (hate to say it), all fighting for a starting job gives us the best chance to win and provides depth.

Didn't the Panthers cut a player a couple of years ago for lying to a cop? So why would JR really think about bringing a

CONVICTED FELON onto his team??????

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
