Marcus Vick's new team?

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-05-2006, 09:51 AM

Right, and honestly while I may not like him, I'll applaud him if he can get his crap together.

I don't doubt somebody will give him a shot.........Maurice Clarrett got a shot.........T.O. can always find a new sucker...........Ricky Williams was welcomed back after stabbing his teamates in the back. I just don't think he'll ever be successful, particulary because he's a headcase. You might be able to get by on talent and still be a headcase in many positions in the NFL, but at QB? I just don't see it. Vick can't be as good of a QB as PacMan is a CB because his position doesn't allow for success when you have your head up your butt.

He might get a shot, but I'm not so sure he'll land a roster spot. And even if he does, simply getting on a roster is still a tremedous waste of potential for a guy who had all the physical gifts for the position.

You are exactly right, there are 10 other guys on the field that need to trust you 100 % when you are the qb. marcus vick will have a very difficult time commanding respect from his teammates and that spells disaster for team chemistry

The best thing you can do for Marcus Vick as a player and a person is not give him anything (that includes a shot at making an nfl team). Until he stops taking all that he has for granted, he won't be able to do anything.

The best thing you can do for Marcus is treat him like he's not Michaels brother. Don't give him anything you wouldn't give any other prospect and don't sell your headlines with his name on it every time he does something that many, many other athletes do. I hope I'm clear in that I'm not supportive of his actions at all. I cheered for VA Tech when they suspended him. He absolutely deserved it.

Do you think he deserves a shot with an nfl team ? (this is not meant to be a rhetorical or sarcastic question)

If marcus vick does not catch on with some nfl team he will be in prison within 2 years.

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-05-2006, 11:31 AM

HAHAHA. Excellent.

Do I think he deserves a shot?
Physical abilty: Definitely.
Character: Absolutely not!
Overall:No

Do I think he will get a shot? Yes. Physical ability weighs more heavily than character does with certain coaches.

warriorzpath · 05-05-2006, 11:57 AM

To me, if you are looking for a leader at quarterback (and some teams may not need a leader at that position) - you absolutely cannot give him a shot until he gets his sh*t straight with some other sucker... I mean team (or league). Some players are different people on the field and can turn IT on and off. He's one of the players that don't have a switch.

Something tells me that that is probably not far from the truth.
