I doubt anyone expects Vick to return to the NFL as purely a starting QB. He will likely have to return as an 'athlete' who can do multiple things, throw, run, catch, maybe return kicks. He's undeniably talented and despite what you think of him as a person or as a 'pure' QB he's got amazing natural ability on the field. Some franchise is going to pick him up and do quite well for themselves as a result.

The reason Vick shouldn't be in the league doesn't have to do with his jail sentence. It has everything to do with him being one of the most overrated QB's of all time. He is a decent running back lined up behind the center, but is NOT an NFL starting-caliber QB.

Sorry but his winning % shows he can play in the NFL. He is just not a traditional type NFL QB but he does seem to find ways to win.

Please define an NFL starting caliber QB. I love this criticism whether it be for Vick or Campbell or whomever. Help us all out and spell out what that means.

You now what's really funny is eveyones values. Some are stead fast and do not want any one with a marred past. Good for them. They have set high values. Maybe too high maybe not. Others would hire a drug lord. lol.

Vick kills an animal and goes to jail and awaits reinstatement. Pacman has people shot ...with a gun....in order to kill....and he gets reinstated and people are fine with him playing. Whether with their team or someone elses. I think I would rather take back the man who hurt the animal over trying to take another human beings life but those are my values.

In any case if we are going to say Vick is a monster and can't change then we might as well not let any of the other prisoners go either. I mean who wants a pediphile on the streets or a murderer, or a theif, or perhaps a rapist. If we are not going to give people a second chance then we better start building more prisons in everyones back yard to house everyone.

If we as a society are not willing to make sure he gets the counceling and perhaps be a spokesman or speak about what he did wrong in order to help stop this very act from accuring again and humbling him then where do you think he's going to go right back to in order to make money again?

Now I'm the last anyone would want to call a bible thumper but for those of you who hold high morals....

To open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me” (Acts 26:18 (http://www.allaboutgod.com/truth/acts-26.htm#18)).

and

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (Colossians 3:13 (http://www.allaboutgod.com/truth/colossians-3.htm#13)).

again I'm the last who should be called a bible thumper for I hardly go to church at all unless dragged by family but I do believe we as a society should be finding other ways to punish evil besides simply putting people in prison and not teaching them society norms, values and getting them counceling for their actions. I agree there is a % of the population that will not or can not be changed but to simply say "yea he may have learned a lesson but forget about giving him a chance" is obserd. If all busineses looked at Vick this way then how is he going to support himself or his family? I guess we should be saying thats his problem, he should have thought about it ahead of time?

I say reinstate him. Make him give a portion of his money to animal rights organizations, and force him to do commercials to humble him. Keep him on a tight leash as they did Pacman and Vicks own actions will speak louder then words. If he volunteered his services to an animal rights organization then perhaps some would change their way of thinking about him.

preach on brotha...the only thing is PETA changed there minds, and doesn't want him doing animal rights commercials, they want to continue to beat this man down for his albeit horrible mistake...Murderers of people get second chances why not him...people are tooo judgemental of others...Can all the people that are judging him so harshly truely say there closets are clean...I doubt it (he's served the time handed down to him) so leave him the F alone and let the man try to make a living..

NINERS JUST SAY NO TO VICK
Posted by Mike Florio on February 17, 2009, 10:44 p.m.

If Monday night’s equivocation regarding Falcons quarterback Mike Vick was intended to be a trial balloon, all we can say is . . . . pop goes the weasel ’cause the weasel goes pop.

“The 49ers are not interested in Michael Vick,” a team spokesman told Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat on Tuesday evening.

And so the Anti-Vick List adds a fifth team.

Can't help but wonder if the Niners really aren't interested or if they're just covering their bases in case anyone thinks they may be tampering.

I can't see any NFL team putting up with the backlash from PETA that will surely come if they sign him. Is signing Vick really worth the picketing and constant negative attention it will cause. I think teams will decide he's not worth it.

San Fran is a circus freak show anyways, so the Niners are probably used to "those kind of people".

So does Trent Dilfer's.
