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??????

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
