Game. Set. Match.

I don't think he's done yet as a player but him playing QB anywhere in the NFL this year is sketchy at best.

Look for one of the upstart leagues to throw a wad of cash at him.

He didn't carry that team anywhere as the league began to figure him out. Great football player? We must have different definitions of the word great.

Put butts in the seats? This is the NFL, attendance isn't really a problem, no matter who is playing.

Vick sucks. Plain and simple. He'll be in the new UFL league or whatever the hell it's called.

He'll be back in the NFL. Somebody WILL take a chance on him.

Wow, the Hatorade cooler is full!

If Vick comes in and sees spot duty for a season or two in the wildcat the PETA hypocrites will quiet down. Then he'll start going after a starting job.

That's it, whether you like it or not, that's the bottom line.

Dude will be back in the L..and he's a decent QB.. you need somebody to move the chains. He did that, Say what you want. but dude did move the chains passing or running. All that matters he got first downs and kept drives alive.

Until you put a spy on him and his running game goes nowhere.

Dude is a below average QB with no leadership abilities that hasn't played in the NFL in 2 years.

Not only that, but by the time he can get into NFL shape again, how well will he be able to run and move? Too many questions that is not worth the PR nightmare that is Mike Vick. Not only that, but even if Vick came back in perfect shape and being able to run, his QB ability is still well below average...he has not position in the NFL.

People need to stop getting fooled by this dude's flash. The flash is blinding you from the pile of crap that is Mike Vick's NFL Career.
