Would You Welcome Michael Vick with Open Arms ? | Page 2

Yes, I know he's a dog killer. Dont go all PETA on me. But he's done his best to make amends, although there will always be some that never accept him. With that in mind, Im sure the Eagles dont have any long term plans for him, and we could do with a player that has a "legit" background. Combine that with the fact that the FA list for QBs is weak (along a weak QB draft class) in 2010, and he very may be the best available at the position. Not to mention he's a player with no identity. He would never be remembered as a Falcon, since he didnt get an opportunity to fulfill his "destiny" over there. So, my fellow Niner mates..........dont you think Vick could be an asset on this team ? He's got an arm, no doubt, and his legs would make him dangerous in our system. Teams would have no choice but to account for his running ability, and that could mean big gains for our receivers. Oh, and he's free. No draft picks, no trades......and Im sure he'll sign cheap. What do you think ?

I'd rather keep Alex and bring in Kyle Boller and Joey Harrington to compete with him.

I would if I thought he could help this team win and improve the QB position. Haven't seen what the guy can do.

No Vick!
No Quinn!
No Trent Edwards!
No Derek Anderson!
No Jason Campbell!
No Bulger!
No Quinn!
No Byron Leftwhich
No Tavaris Jackson!
No Rex Grossman!
No Kerry Collins!
No Quinn!
No Chad Pennington!
No Delhomme!

These guys should be our only option

Donovan McNabb (who I kinda sorta don't like but...)
Kevin Kolb
Sam Bradford
Jimmy Claussen

Or maybe Garrard if he somehow becomes available.

I don't even care about the dog thing, I don't want him because he sucks.

Rush Limbaugh should have said Michael Vick instead of McNabb.

He served prison time and he's been financially ruined, so he has paid for his past misdeeds in my mind, but I still don't want him because I don't think he's a good player. Even back in his day he was a RB disguised as a QB. Maybe a more telling take on this question would be to ask people down in Atlanta if they'd like him back. I'm thinking that would be a big fat no.
