illone Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 The same fans claiming Vick is disgusting will be the same guys lining up to get his jersey once he comes to DC. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Torn Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 has vick been given clearance by the nfl to even be signed by any team? i would figure they may say he has to sit out longer unless something already went down with that. No the Commish said he wouldnt even meet with vick until his house arrest is over which it is sometime in July I think? Im not sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Vick is not a WCO QB. He has too strong of an arm and not enough touch He would excel in a play action throw deep system where his arm strength can be an asset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitStickTaylor21 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 1. I can't believe this is ESPN Insider. You have to pay for an article with no truth to it, just speculation? 2. I don't see us going after Vick, but if we do and we land him, I will boycott the Skins until he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicrodjr Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yes, this qb(?) will put us over the top! Even Dan the ever publicity hound that he is, has to see no good can come of this. Doesn't he?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I don't want Vick either, but it's hilarious that most people on this board think Colt Brennan would be a better quarterback than Michael Vick. You fail to recognize the future HOF status of our 6th round draft pick? I think that deserves at least a 3 week ban. :evilg: /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINSFAN87 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 this would be a move that the skins should make. JC isn't coming back to the skins no matter what happens this year. period. So why not go after vick, he has alot left in the tank and I believe he can be a very good fit for this team. We need a QB, not a bunch of wishful thinking that collins or brennan will win for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thandGoal Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 This is pure speculation, BUT, if it happened, I'd keep an open mind. The legal system we all live by has spoken, he served his time, he's out - let the man live. If he's the same VICK as he was/or near it on the field, you've gotta look at him. That Vick was better Campbell. Period. Now, I'm a JC backer. I hope/want/expect him to succeed but if the front office brought Vick in, I wouldn't complain; I'd just wait to see what happened.

uncleelroy89 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 my brother in law thinks if Vick comes to D.C it would the second coming of God and J.C will be gone to bad he does not have a acc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricucci Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Not a good move, but the man served his time and deserves another chance. People have done worse and are still playing in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtyler42 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 as a backup over collins chase and colt i'd do it.... I still believe in JC I agree...I don't look at Vick at this point as a starter but in a yr or 2 he could be ready to provide some competition for JC...Colt is a joke and Todd is on the downside of his career...

worstSeat Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I agree. Until I hear Vinny, Snyder, or Zorn say we are interested in Vick. I'm not buying it for a sec. When did the turn from pseudo-journalism to complete tripe to make hats of cash happen for the four-letter? Honestly, any free agent story can get, "[The player] might be just the kind of player that Skins owner Daniel Snyder would love to acquire. Snyder has a proclivity for outbidding the market with a "go high or go home" strategy even when it's unnecessary." I'm not a big Snyder fan, but sheesh, ESPN sux0rz. Where am I supposed to go for sporting news? SI? The DC Sports Bog? In other news, not a bad NBA playoff game, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worstSeat Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 the crimes he committed aside. I dont want Vick here because I was never a fan of the way he played. Sorry to spam, but I can't agree here. I don't know that he works with Zorn at all, but man, watching Vick was something special. Seriously, that speed was cheating. Incredible to watch. I don't want him in DC, and I'm not sure he can make a team a sure thing, but he was worth watching in his first go through the NFL. How can you not be a fan of if not the way he played, at least watching him play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 There is just a lot of bad information in this article. Most of the rumors section on ESPN is complete speculation and crap anyway, this is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F Landry Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Imagine how fun Madden will be with Vick on offense and Big Fat Al on defense... I'm telling you...Dan and Vinny must really be into the game. They are loading us up for some real fun this year (in the game, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitecr Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Signing Vick will just show Snyder doesn't care about winning, just putting fans in the seats. And even that might backfire on him. I'd sign a pro-bowl quarterback if I wanted to win... Why not see what he's go left in the tank... Campbell isn't exactly the face of the franchise... competition is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboomking Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 With there being an entire thread about Anthony Alridge's speed, I would think that someone here would propose to bring in Vick, not as a QB, but as an athlete. If Leonard Little and Ray Lewis still have a place in the league, then I think that Mike Vick deserves a place too. Since Vick presumeably will come on the cheap, I might consider giving him a try as a 3rd down back/WR/punt returner. I'm not sure there are a lot of teams in the league that would welcome him in as a QB, although there might be a fit for him in Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Again, the big issue is Vick does not fit a WCO scheme at all. I saw him at his best as a passer in college, live. He was awesome with the deep ball, with deep crossing routes and 20+ yard passes He throws the ball too damn hard, and doesn't have the touch yet for the short passing game which the WCO relies on. He does have the incredible release for it though. Could I see him a wild cat athlete? Of course, he'd be the ideal person for the wild cat, but we don't run nearly enough of it. I'd pass on Vick because of his lack of fit in a WCO scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
