Just when I thought Jamie Dukes couldn't be any dumber

They were discussing what player they would take to start a franchise with on a roundtable on NFLN tonight and Sapp says Mario Williams, Faulk says Merriman. Later Papa says Brady and LaCanfora says Aaron Rogers. Duke says...and he was 100% serious...MICHAEL VICK. MICHAEL VICK... ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? YOU WOULD START AN NFL FRANCHISE WITH A GUY WHO WAS A CRAPTASTIC QB BEFORE HE WENT TO JAIL, WAS ALWAYS A CHARACTER PROBLEM OF ONE TYPE OR ANOTHER AND HASN'T BEEN ON A FIELD IN TWO YEARS????

I knew from the minute I ever heard him open his mouth 4 or so years ago that he was a ridiculous Ronnie Mexico lover, but good gravy.

I was cooking dinner when he said that and I was like WTF?

I always knew he was a snuggler, but thought he had gotten away from publicly announcing it on NFLN ever since herpie boy went to jail. Guess the idiot still needs a cell phone photo of herpies at a dog fight to believe he is guilty. Why is he still on TV? I understand his radio show. All the other snugglers in Atlanta need Something to listen to. But TV? He's a complete moron.

Question... did he give his logic/reasoning in why he would pick Vick?

He talked about how ATL's run game was dominant because of Vick and how you have to devote defenders to stopping him. There might be more (hope it wasn't his passing ability!!)but I was so stunned that's all I remember. Sapp and even Faulk who I find mostly moronic were incredulous at this pick.

Come on, Jamie Dukes is a visionary. He is wise enough to realize some franchise have to be around for the rest of the NFL to kick around. He is such a martyr, he would be willing to fill that role at the same time giving those who prefer the gangsta image a chance to buy the jersey of a QB they can get behind.

It's morons like this that makes me thankful that I have TWC.

I just watched the clip, and Warren Sapp was just in utter disbelief. I mean just utter shock that Dukes would even bring up Vick as being "the guy" in the franchise. After seeing that I just can't imagine any scenario in which ANYONE could take Dukes seriously again. Ever.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
