fdarugar Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I wonder if he makes the cut? hmmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Seems like if they don't get Harrington they may have space for him. He has definitely made some unbelievably stupid choices but I think he could turn out to be a good QB if he has the right coaching. I sure hope he realizes the gift this chance is and uses it wisely.

Renegade7 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 He has talent, it's just his character that's the problem. Marcus just went psyco in college, but I believe Nick Saban could wipe him into a man. He'll be a solid football player, watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalex41 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 In my opinion, Marcus Vick is simply a "thuG", He has been given chances and opportunities beyond belief and all he has done is, consistently "let down" his family, team-mates and supporters. He proclaims that he is not like Maurice Clarett or Lawrence Phillips, however I think that he is a "carbon copy" of the same mold. The Dolphins have extended him a free agent tender. I hope they realize that he "simply" does not have the "character" to accept responsibility. One "bad apple" can easily ruin the whole barrell.

First he was gonna straighten out Ricky Williams. Didn't happen. Now he's gonna straighten out Marcus Vick. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. Overnight Saban has made the fins a contender for the division, probably even more. This team is going in the right direciton and that 5 game winning streak to end the season wasn't too shabby either. I respect him, I believe he knows what he's doing.

Grizz Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Link?All I have seen is him claiming it wasn't weed and others speculating on what it was. As far as I can determine the league hasn't said what it was. http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/MIA/9367725 NEW YORK (April 9, 2006) -- Ricky Williams will meet with league officials April 10 seeking to overturn a drug suspension that could cost him the entire 2006 season. League officials will not confirm drug suspensions under league policy that maintains confidentiality for positive tests. But Williams' agent, Leigh Steinberg, said last week that the hearing will take place at the NFL offices in New York. If the positive test is upheld, it would be Williams' fourth violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, meaning at least a one-year suspension. "I don't know what happened, but I know Ricky didn't test positive for anything," Steinberg said. "Someone made a mistake." Previous positive tests were for marijuana, which Williams acknowledged using. But the latest test apparently involved a drug other than marijuana. Williams retired and sat out the 2004 season. He owes the Dolphins $8.6 million for breaching his contract, and motivated at least partly by the need for a paycheck, he returned last year to play for new Miami coach Nick Saban. Before being allowed to return, Williams served a four-game suspension at the start of the season for his third violation of the drug program. He still ran for 743 yards last season and gained 4.4 per carry while sharing playing time with rookie Ronnie Brown. Williams gained 280 yards in the final two games when Brown was hurt.

IBleedBurgundy&Gold1369225669 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 it wasn't weed, and the nfl confirmed it not ricky. From what I heard he said he took Herbal supliments that made his drug test contaminated.Meaning that they can't tell what he did.This also means he could of been smoking bud and took something to clear it from a drug test and it came up contaminated.Why would he take herbal supliments? What were they for?Why would he risk getting banned so he could have some herbal tea or whatever the **** you want to call it? Now before you say I'm wrong asnwer those questions.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he's a bud smoker and doesn't want to admit that he made the same mistake.:doh: To tell you the truth I have no problem with people smoking weed.I wouldn't want a player on my team smoking weed but he should have the right to do that in my opinion.

PuckDallas81 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I hope he does well its sad to see talent like that waste away,even though everything thats has happened was his own fault,I'm still pulling for him.hopefully he will straighten up and be a good player like his brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SackMachine Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Who knows,Ricky did get into yoga and other stuff that involves with natures which might explain the herbs. Anyways, I hope Marcus Vick can get back into shape and hopefully Coach Saban is the man for the job. Would be a shame to see such talent go to waste.

Simmsm88 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 and that 5 game winning streak to end the season wasn't too shabby either. It was six games. Saban is a good coach. He chewed out that rookie last year and made him cry lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorPickSix Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 i hope he sticks with them. i think not getting drafted really did a number on his character and brought some reality to him. finally something got through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
