No its not agreed he would be a public relations nightmare, he grew up in redskins country and would greatly embraced.

The question really is how he would fit in.

It's even questionable if Hampton Roads is "Redskins Country", I see as much Steelers, Panthers, Cowboys fan gear as Skins gear. And absolutely Vick would be a PR nightmare.

From a football perspective, the guy's main asset was his speed, no way his speed hasn't dropped off after 2+ years off.

Southside must be bandwagon country, the Peninsula is no doubt redskin country. Though not winning since 1991 isnt helping. If skins went all the way this year Hampton roads would explode with B&G.

I've got a lot family in Newport News and Portsmouth, VA area. Always a strong Redskin following down there. I suspsect the fanbase went the way of our playoff appearances since 91...
