[tryfuhl]

good luck elsewhere to him

[MTK]

He's not coming here, let's not even start with that.

[Longtimefan]

So is Ryan Leaf.

There is our back up competition. I bet the guy still has something left in the tank. Hell I think we should give him a shot!

This is the one thread where I would actually prefer Campbell.

Vick doesn't have "IT" anymore. No thanks.

Vick never had "IT".

Seriously?

He WAS an unbelievable play-maker when he played for the Falcons. He took them to the NFC champ in 2004 and he scored 29 total TDS and rushed for over 1,000 yds in 2006.

I always envisioned our QB making plays with his arm. If I wanted a QB who could run we could just draft Tebow.

Tebow won't have the same success running the ball in the NFL. He's a tough guy and a great college player but I don't think he has the speed to do what he did in college.
If he makes it as a NFL QB, I'm sure he can buy time with his feet and pick up a couple first downs/game with his feet but that's a big if. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of confidence in him making the transition.
As far as Vick goes, he WAS AT ONE TIME an unbelievable offensive threat. I'm sure he kept opposing defensive coordinators up at night trying to figure out how to slow him down. I don't think he'll put up the same numbers as a starting QB anymore. I don't think he'd be a good fit in Washington either.

29 tds as a qb is ok, but I would not say he has "It". 40 year old Farve has it. 33tds this year. Yes the dude was a playmaker, but he has never won anything. Yeah he got close, but so did Mark Brunel. Does/ Did he have "it"? And Considering he threw his career away for dog fighting i would definately not consider him an "it" guy. The guy who has "it" is dedicated to the game, loves playing it, and wouldn't risk it running an illegal enterprise.

I do appluade MV for turning his life around and I wish him all the best where ever he lands. As long as it is not in the NFC East.

While he didn't run an enterprise I would say that LT had his own demons. Love some of the stories about that guy though, like sending hookers to the hotels of the opposing team the night before games.

[Son Of Man]

Nothing against Vick, but I don't want to send picks to the Iggles. If he gets cut, I would like to give him a look in FA, though I don't know if he is a good fit in Shanny's system.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

A dog fighting kennel like his would be considered an "illegal enterprise".

And yes I find the old LT stories funny, and that was more of a guy having to much fun! He was a partier, and a good one. The 80s were a different time to.

[GusFrerotte]

80's was about enjoying life. Rather have Rozell than Goodell as Commish. Goodell has taken the fun out of the NFL by making it more corporate and PC.
