The Vick Factor

[Paintrain]

If we bring Vick in it cannot be as a starting QB, regardless of when it occurs. Anyone who considers this is just foolish.

However, I think he could be great as an 'athlete' whether it is in a Wildcat type of deal or a full house backfield (Sellers and Vick lined up behind the inside cheek of the G at 4 yards back, Portis or Betts lined up directly behind the QB at 6 yards back) or a wing T formation..

Giving him 8-12 touches a game to either run, throw or catch the ball would give defenses something to really think about.

I don't have any moral objections to bringing Vick in but it will be Shanahan's call next offseason if we are ever in a position to consider it.

WOW, So pretty much you are sayin this season is lost? Thats what will have to happen for Zorn to be gone and if he is gone then that means JC is also gone. Id like to see Zorn stick around, i believe he can grow into a good HC. ppl have mixed views of JC,im waiting on him to show me he can be the man.

Not at all. I'm saying if we are ever at a point of considering it that means that '09 was a bust, JZ is out, Shanny is in and it's his call.

It was pretty much tongue in cheek, as most of my Shanahan references are since so many people are convinced the season is already over, in May.
