Well, maybe not, but Michael Vick is sure fun to watch.
Quick question: Tom Brady’s return or Michael Vicks?
What are you more excited to watch?
Come on.. That’s a no brainer. I’m obviously watching Vick. Easily the most unique player in the league from 2001 to 2006; you never knew what excitement was going to happen on any given down.
You press up and blitz with all you have and get burned by the left arm, or you sit back and d-up and get burned by his wheels. Stacking up an impressive 2474 passing and 1039 rushing in 2006! More stats at http://www.rototimes.com/nfl/stats/2006/QB/ruyds/1/NFL
Now I know that he has not shown dominance with his passing, but you can’t argue with his last season, 20th in the league in attempts and 10th in the league in TD’s. That means he is throwing the ball less often for more TD’s. You couple that with his rushing average of 8.4 over 123 attempts, and he is unbelievably dangerous.
So what’s the point?
The point is, let the stud play! He is obviously going to bring publicity to your organization. He is more than likely going to help you on the field. Even Super Bowl Champion Head Coach Tony Dungy is backing him.
The real question is, where does he fit?
Let’s look at the Broncos first. They are a historically great franchise that is self imploding and already shipped away Pro-Bowl QB Jay Cutler. Hmmm, he obviously won’t be headed there because that makes too much sense, which seems to be the Achilles heal of Josh Mcdaniels.
Next stop is the Minnesota Vikings. After having been the latest victim of the “Farve”, you could use a star QB. I know they have Tavaris Jackson, but we all know he is a Vick wannabe. Why not upgrade to the real deal? How amazing would a backfield of Michael Vick, Adrian Peterson, Chester Taylor and young Ian Johnson be? You literally could run an option offense, in the NFL, and succeed.
Lastly there has been talk of Vick in a Patriot uniform. This would be another home run. He is unbelievably versatile and could take pressure off Brady. The possibilities are endless.
The other teams would use him as the potential starter, which could be too risky for a sane GM. But the Pats have Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Lawrence Maroney. They would not have to rely on Vick. They could bring Vick in the way that the Steelers used Kordell Stewart. Imagine Michael Vick, the new “Slash”. We all know Bilichek could make it work!
Now I could go on for ten more pages about his legal issues or his character, but it is well known that there are a lot of questionable characters in sports. He served his sentence, one handed down by a Federal Court Judge. He satisfied his debt to society as ruled on and according to him and Dungy, he has changed. I’m all about second chances.
All I’m asking is to see Vick on the field.
Please, entertain me!

What do you think about vick going to the redskins they have some very good deep play threats in both WR's vick would open up the D with his big arm and open the running lane for Portis and vick plus that D they have might equal a championship

Doesn't matter where he plays. Mapquest is routing the road to the superbowl through Chicago. Believe it.
