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.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
