I don't have a problem with him playing ( I was more giving mcbee here a hard time

) , but if he does go anywhere, it will be interesting to see how " his baggage " is handled. It will be a distraction.

I seriously doubt it will be to the Patriots. The Krafts don't have much tolerance for criminals in their organization.

Another name floated has been the Panthers. Anyone thinking that needs to recall that the Richardson family is VERY strict on its players now - after the Rae Caruth issue, they are all about high character guys. Vick will have a hard time finding a team that is willing to take him on - they would have to be beyond desperate - or give him a backup slot and pray they don't have an injury. If someone signs him - it will be for cheap. And for those that think Vick as a RB - he doesn't have the build to take the punishment - so he would not last.

Edit - Also you have to hand it to Goodell - he really pinched Vick on this one. He said he could report to training camp, play in the preseason games - but then he is done until after week 6 when he can apply for full reinstatement - meaning a team would have to be willing to start someone else at QB for 6 games - then change mid stream. Won't happen. However - it WILL give him a chance to sit on the sidelines as a backup for a year - letting the "drama" die out and give him a shot at redemption without the same circus the following year. Many see that reinstatement path as keeping Vick from playing - what it really does is test him - to see if he has matured and humbled himself - and if so - gives him the opportunity to find a path back.

And to think that the vikings used to have a good scouting dept.

mookiemookie · 08-19-09, 12:15 PM

I refuse to refer to him by his name anymore. I'm taking the Tecmo Bowl approach to players they couldn't name: He's now "QB Vikings"

nikimcbee · 08-19-09, 12:32 PM

Mr Vick doesn't look so bad now.

I'm a Packers fan (still respect Brett Favre's legacy), but I'm laughing my ass off.

How any time could think that a 40 year-old QB is the missing link to the Superbowl is insane. And Bernard Berrian and Bobby Wade aren't suddenly going to become elites now.
