Re: Michael Vick Discussion Thread

That man is not telling the truth so don't even pay him no mind lol.

Anyways, I say after teams play their first preseason game, interest will start to pick up for him. H

Re: Michael Vick Discussion Thread

teams will start to make a move for him shortly. love him or hate him he is way to talented. a good coach will find a way to get him on the field whether it be at QB or another spot. he is not as bad a QB as people make him out to be. not the best but very servicable. if you look at his passing numbers and then throw in rushing numbers you see why he is so dangerous. at one point he was a top 3 MOST exciting player in the league.

Re: Michael Vick Discussion Thread

^Hell, he was THE most exciting player in the league. I think he's gonna end up with the Patriots, unfortunately. I'd rather see him starting in the NFL, but if they want to run the Wildcat, who am I to try and stop them? lol.

I must be the only one on here that thinks the death of the Wildcat will be taking place this year.

I think that depends more on Pat White and Vick than anything else.

The death of the RB oriented wildcat took place in 2007.

However, if Vick can pass and run as well as he did prior to his incarceration, the Wildcat can be a change of pace for a few more years if not forever depending on the team he signs with.

No you are not the only one.

Re: Michael Vick Discussion Thread

Why do people all of a sudden assume that Vick will only be used in the wildcat when he's never played in that before?

yeah i bet it has. I don't have a source, I just follow all the news like everybody else and I could compete with your source in giving information. Let me know if he/she has a job somewhere bc I want to put my application in.

I don't think so. I think it'll be used sparingly by more than a few teams... more than say a flea flicker. I think a select few, starting Miami, will have a bigger place for it in the gameplan. Other teams with mobile backup QBs and/or playmakers on the bench at RB/WR (like Seattle, Baltimore, Minnesota, Oakland) will have some wildcat packages that will be used more or less depending on the game situations.

1. I think he'd also be the backup quarterback for whatever team, but putting him in a wildcat (or any special packages) makes more sense than not playing him at all since he brings some very unique skillsets

2. It's not like the wildcat is all that complicated. It's a few plays that almost every college team was capable of putting together in their limited practice times, so I'm sure Vick could master the 5-10 plays assuming he's still in decent football shape (which is a real assumption at this point).

Vick ran what amounts to a spread option play with Atlanta and many plays designed for Vick to get one on one with a defender and for him to read the DE. It was covered quickly on NFL Live yesterday and comments made that Vicks offense in Atlanta was essentially a wildcat offense. His success in Atlanta was based on his threat to run and throw deep. He was an inaccurate passer but his ability to both throw and run on any given play is the basis of the wildcat.

Re: Michael Vick Discussion Thread

Since his reinstatement earlier this week its looking more and more likely that he will indeed sign with an UFL team. I just think he needs a fresh start and this new league is just what he needs. He needs to go to a club over there with a hard *** head coach like San Francisco's Dennis Green. Green would whip him into shape.

*****Breaking News******

Vick Close to Going to the UFL
According to the United Football League website, Vick is strongly considering his options at this point. The UFL being one of the options. The commissioner has still not made any comment on the possible entrance of Vick into his league.

Re: Michael Vick Discussion Thread

my source tells me Vick will not sign with the ufl because he wants to compete in the nfl.

Nope.. That became readily apparent towards the end of the season. Defenses have started to adjust,and will continue to do so.
