Minnesota Vick-ings?


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

There might be questions about Vick’s sharpness and conditioning because he hasn’t played since 2006, but he’s a proven winner who led the Falcons to an NFC championship game and has been to three Pro Bowls. The dynamic athlete has the NFL single-season record for yards rushing by a quarterback with 1,039 in 2006, and is third all-time. He also has passed for 11,505 yards in six seasons, with 71 touchdowns and 52 interceptions.

This is the main reason why someone is gonna give Vick a chance when Goodell reinstates him. There are worse QBs in the league starting and holding clipboards.

Perhaps.

Right now though, the interest level is pretty much nada: Yahoo Sports

With his status still up in the air over a potential league suspension, Michael Vick is an ice-cold commodity. A league source said the Falcons have drawn very little legitimate interest since general manager Thomas Dimitroff announced the franchise’s intention to trade Vick last week. Apparently the Falcons brass will meet again next week to discuss the situation with Vick and come up with a resolution based on the interest – or lack thereof – that he has generated, and how they will proceed.

Florio said Vick will need to put on a "convincing display" to get Goodell to reinstate him. His take is that it won't happen this season.

Vick would be very good in the wildcat, acutally having a RB that can throw could turn that formation into an actual cog of an offense

trade him for a 7th

you have a back up QB that pretty much sucks, but a good number of teams have that

and you have a very dangerous player for certain formations that could really make plays happen

I think there are 32 teams in the League that would love to have him based on talent. Hell put him at wide receiver. But I doubt there is one team that wants to take on the dog lovers within its fan base. At least I hope not. If my Rams signed him I would no longer be a Rams fan.

If Vick has 0 value as some really believe then why would the Falcons keep him on their roster all this time? I mean he's a "PR nightmare" right? They could've easily dumped him the minute he pled guilty similar to how we canned Rae Carruth prior to his murder trial. But they havent and are still attempting to parlay a trade for his services. Arthur Blank is a smart businessman, if he knew none of his owner buddies would take on Vick I dont think he would foolishly keep him in hopes of a trade. The truth is there isnt much interest in trading for Vick, but make no mistake about it, they are teams who will take a look at him the minute he's released. There's worse offenders who've gotten second chances. Only reason Vick is viewed differently is he's a black QB. If he played corner or RB or any other position thats not looked to for leadership and glory nobody would be crying about him coming back.

Arent you a Rams fan? You already know the answer. LOL.

Leonard Little had never had a drink in his life. His teammates took him out and got him trashed on his 21st birthday. Is he a dumbass for trying to drive home? Probably. But it's not the same as stealing pets from people's yards, throwing them in to get chewed up, fighting pit bulls and then killing the ones who didn't fight as much as you wanted them to.

I'm sure the victim's family feels differently, but Leonard Little did not have any intent to kill or even harm anyone that night. It was his first buzz ever. Now when he got picked up for a second DUI, he deserved jail time, in my opinion. But he didn't hurt anyone the second time.

Leonard Little killed a woman. No matter how much syrup we pour on that fact, its what he did. And he's since been busted for DUI AGAIN after that. Jamal Lewis pled guilty and did fed time for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Every week there's some player getting busted for drug possession or domestic abuse. I stand by my statement if Vick played any other position but quarterback there wouldnt be the resistance to give him a second chance.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
