I'm not the biggest Vick fan but to be honest, he is an extremely talented individual. Even a layoff wouldn't drop him below some of the top talent in the game now. Timing and reps come with practice and i'm sure he wasn't just sitting there in jail reading. People are talking like Vick is a bad person and put him in the T.O. and Pac-man Jones category...Vick was found guilty for his role in dogfighting. He's a country boy that did country things..and it just so happen that that that act was illegal. James Harrison's pitbull dog attacked his son, did people fault Harrison for his dog's aggression?... pitbulls are aggressive by nature, they were bred that way, doesn't make fighting them right, but they are a fighting bred and Vick participated in a sport that is as old as the Roman Empire. Vick is not a trouble maker, you never heard of Vick destroying a team from the inside or being a problem child in college and all his adult life, even though he came from a public housing, low income surroundings. Vick wants to be a winner by any means necessary, whether rushing for a 1,000 yards or attempting to pass it to an open receiver, he did what he could do while the organization tried to find him help... Like when Jordan was the entire team. If any organization can take this situation and make it work it would be the Steelers, if they vouch for you, people will listen cause they have a history of knowing what they are doing. Last comment... he would be needed as a strong backup QB, Batch is on the last leg, Dixon hasn't proven anything as of yet, great potential, but that's it. When Big Ben goes down the team struggles with the flaws in the o-line you need a scrambling QB, a natural scrambling QB which Ben is not...but guess who is? See the picture?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204993863475183731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-80477539411090250832009-07-30T13:43:24.090-04:002009-07-30T13:43:24.090-04:00"Louis Lipps Sinks Ships" is the best ac..."Louis Lipps Sinks Ships" is the best account name in the history of the universeJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645765599238168040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-44328345909570388792009-07-30T10:43:18.585-04:002009-07-30T10:43:18.585-04:00@ Cory.

If you remember 1995-1997, Kordell Stewart did the same things as Vick (on the field). Not saying Vick isn't a special athlete, just that he is not quite as special as many think. There have been others before him to have ALL of his game, and there will be others after him to have ALL of his game. Randall Cunningham in his prime was another example. Both Cunningham and Stewart were better QB's than Vick.JeremyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933060444936495812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-46231323589054586712009-07-29T21:40:17.878-04:002009-07-29T21:40:17.878-04:00Yeah, yeah, paid his dues.... everyone deserves a ...Yeah, yeah, paid his dues.... everyone deserves a second chance... blah, blah blah.

Yes, he had 4 TD passes, but they were all on short fields (Santonio muffed a punt on the 22, Ben fumbled on the 25, onside kick recovered on the 49). He also benefitted from a FWP fumble on the 26 and a kickoff return to the 28.<br /><br />All told, Vick was outgained by Ben (238 to 232), even though Ben was knocked out in the 3rd. Charlie Batch only played 1.5 quarters and still nearly outgained Vick (195 yards). QB ratings that day: Vick 96.1, Ben 147.3, Batch 145.0.<br /><br />Nonetheless, Sean Salisbury goes on to declare that night: "Mark my words, Michael Vick will be the first NFL QB to run for 1,000 yards and throw for 4,000 yards in the same season." Yeah, good luck with that.<br /><br />/end rantLouis Lipps Sinks Shipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03197155131022122917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-21362084228809672902009-07-29T14:21:29.257-04:002009-07-29T14:21:29.257-04:004) he kills dogs...we already beat the browns twic...4) he kills dogs...we already beat the browns twice a yearJeff_King_Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359850363840690509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-55788927082829374332009-07-29T13:36:37.215-04:002009-07-29T13:36:37.215-04:001) He is the fastest person ever in pads-maybe in ...1) He is the fastest person ever in pads-maybe in the prison yard, but probably not even there. <br /><br />2) He has a cannon for an arm-Ben has a cannon for an arm and two superbowl rings...besides we already have a #7 <br /><br />3) You get his speed and arm at very much below the market value-we already have faster players at below market value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-89189746600518773602009-07-29T13:15:39.848-04:002009-07-29T13:15:39.848-04:00a person's 40 time does not necessarily transl...a person's 40 time does not necessarily translate to on the field speed and quickness....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325780083717650209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-54267196244467196422009-07-29T12:54:01.352-04:002009-07-29T12:54:01.352-04:00@ Jeff King:
