The Vick Factor

punt returner? (may have been mentioned didnt have time to read all the posts)

As I read somewhere (I think the comments section of RI). Herpes infected felon with a 50% completion percentage and a two year layoff. Where do I sign up?

I don't know why anyone would beat their wife. I guess it's a sickness (coward maybe?) just like hurting animals. If Vick gets the same rush from hurting animals as some people get from drugs or driving fast...he's really got a problem.

This usually happens when someone gets abused by an authority figure before puberty. As a result they learn to deal with conflicts and troubling emotions through the use of violence, and in a relationship situation where conflict is natural, they just snap. I'm by no means defending them but as long as parents beat their kids we'll have people growing up with the inability to handle their emotions. I'm willing to bet that guys like Jerome Mathis, James Harrison, and Chris Brown got beat by their parents a little to hard. This is not to say that everyone beat by their parents will turn into a wife beater but it definitely increases the risk. It should come as no surprise that the middle east most likely has the highest rate of child abuse in the world.

On the other hand I don't know how someone gets into the torturing and brutally killing animals. With hunting I know it's a cultural thing but with hunting it's one shot and they're down. It's not a personal form of killing. Hanging and electrocuting animals indicates rage of a more personal nature and as a result indicates very serious mental problems. Not trying to get into the whole deal about how it's ok for certain people to kill certain animals and not others especially when it comes to meat but the way Vick went about his business is a serious red flag.

Until he gets his feet back under him as a QB the wildcat is probably the best way to get him back on the field right away.

What other way is he going to be used this year, especially here?
I could see him doing return duty as well; you know I always thought that Vick should've learned the WR position.

That's quite the admission for you to make! haha

As long as he isn't raping members of our team oh well, I don't see him as a fit though; and I'd be willing to bet that a lot more people than MV in the NFL have the herp

I would. I know some people will say no because of the dog fighting stuff but seriously the man went took his punishment now it's time to move on. I'm looking at him as a football player, so I say yes.


Dogfighting isn't the issue at all with most folks nixing this idea. To win the whole enchilada and even make the playoffs you have to pass effectively. Vick couldn't pass effectively to save his life!!!!!!! Vick couldn't get the #1 rushing team in the NFL into the playoffs because he sucks as a passer. Matt Ryan gave that franchise a shot in the arm last season. Sure he can't dance like Vick, but he sure can pass now can't he? Brennan has more of a shot at future playoffs for us than Vick!!!

2. Michael Vick is still the property of the Atlanta Falcons and therefore, he can be traded by the Falcons to another team. For those who want him as an insurance policy, what would you be willing to give to the Falcons in order to make certain that Michael Vick winds up here in Washington as opposed to anywhere else in the NFL?

he was released this morning

Mike Vick isnt better than what we got so why bring the distraction to our team?

he was released this morning

got a link on that?

got a link on that?

Ya, I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything about his release from the Falcons, I've been watching ESPN and saw nothing on it too. I'd like to see a link as well.

I disagree. He'd be an upgrade as a backup QB and even in the backfield as an RB. He might even work well at WR, working some Wildcat-like plays or what Randle El has done from time to time.

He'd only be a distraction for a few weeks, and if any team could handle the media attention, it's the Skins. We're kind of used to being a media circus as it is.
