Michael Vick is reinstated

[Boucher]

YAY Welcome back Vick

 

[FlawLeSs]

New Orleans.

Only team that showed interest before. Payton is salivating the cheese he'll be able to run with Vick and Reggie Bush.

EA's would love that, then the main feature on madden 11 would be the option

thats probably the dumbest shit I have ever read here

Reading the article, it says this:

**************************************
As part of the deal, Goodell is reserving judgement in the event of any further transgressions from Vick.

"This is a serious matter. We are engaging in a careful and thoughtful process and no decisions have been made," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.
**************************************

The article sounds a little conflicting. Any one want to explain what this means, if a decision has already been made?

 

[Juggernaut]

Hopefully he goes to Minny if they dont get Favre, SF so he can start, and my homer pick, the Carolina Pathers. They could use him yet i dont see them even attempting to get him.


Either one, my b for making it sound confusing

 

[bucky]

Vick is allowed to sign with a team. A decision on his full reinstatement will be made (likely) by the time roster cuts are to be made, thisway a team can cut him if they aren't happy with the suspension. So basically if he does something stupid from now till then, he's done.

So a decision has not been made on the actual length of a suspension?

It sounds like things have not really been decided yet.

I guess, wake me when Goodell announcing something definite.

The bright side, this shouldn't take nearly as LLLLOOOOONNNGGGGG as this Brett Favre thing. I swear, Brett couldn't decide which hand to use to wipe his ass with.

How so?

I'm telling you this is the place he's most likely to end up. It's a fact Sean Payton was the only person aside from Dungy that even talked to him.

I have a strong hunch on this...you think he wouldn't jump at the chance to play Atlanta twice a year? For the ONLY team that showed any interest whatsoever when he was out of the pokey? For a guy who relishes using gadget plays to get the ball in the hands of his playmakers?

The Saints are the team with the highest chance of landing him, whether you want to admit it or not.

 

[Leftwich]

I don't give a fuck what he's done. I just wanna see him play. He is probably one of the most exciting players to watch in the NFL.

First off they already have a starting QB, who happens to be the offensive player of the year so I can't really see them going out of their way to pick up vick. I just don't see the saints wasting money on a QB when they clearly already have one. He may fit the scheme but IMO it would be a waste when they don't need him, and he wouldn't get much (if any) playing time over brees unless he would be willing and able to use his athleticism at another postion like maybe RB or WR. Would be nice to have someone to sub in when Brees goes on tilt though. What exactly gives the saints any more of a chance to land him over one of the other teams that desperatly need a QB?

I could see them using him as a specialist for options but little else, and I dont really see vick wanting to play second fiddle... maybe they could put him at the RB postion or possibly a wide reciever, or maybe add the wildcat to their playbook (everybody else is). I mean sure it would be pretty intimdating to have to worry about brees and vick in the backfield but honestly do you think the falcons are really going to trade vick away (if im not mistaken he has yet to be cut from their roster) to one of their rival teams?

The more I sit here and think about it the more I'm am starting to dig the idea because it would free up some much need room on the depth chart for defensive tackles and the like... so I retract my dumbest shit ever statement and subsititute it with highly unlikely....

 

[Sean]

Vick to Marshall? that would be awesome, screw Orton, and screw McDaniels

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

Nice to seem him back. I hope he goes to Oakland. That be perfect.

perfect if he wants to retire next year, fuck that dump... I've heard a few rumors about Carolina, New Orleans, New England... he'd be perfect in Cincinnati with the rest of the convicts...Longest Yard FTW!

[Juggernaut]

LOL, kinda ironic

Mike Vick would be a Saint

yea ur mistaken. they been cut him. a LONG time ago. but yea him in new orleans would be dumb and we would never see him on the field. the only reason they would get him would be to boost reggies stats.

 

[Rylo]

Vick to Crabtree?

Gazm.

 

[JeremyHight]

He should go to a strong running team, he would only make it better with his bootleg ability and the fact that teams would have to play contain. So that means from the top 10 rushing teams:

- Carolina (Top choice, IMO)
- Minnesota (Only if Favre doesn't sign)
- New England (They have rumors for whatever reason)
- Washington (Campbell has about 6 starts to prove himself to Snyder)
- Raiders (Prototypical Al Davis QB)

Find me a team that's going to give him a legitimate shot to be their starting QB. Like I said, only one team showed any interest when he was initially released from prison.

I could see them using him as a specialist for options but little else, and I dont really see vick wanting to play second fiddle... maybe they could put him at the RB postion or possibly a wide reciever, or maybe add the wildcat to their playbook (everybody else is).

Vick is going to realize, at least at first, that he's going to be viewed as a specialty player. Nothing more, nothing less. That's why I expect a one year deal. Also, the Falcons cut Vick months ago.

The more I sit here and think about it the more I'm am starting to dig the idea because it would free up some much need room on the depth chart for defensive tackles and the like... so I retract my dumbest shit ever statement and subsititute it with highly unlikely...

By this time next week, I'll be able to say definitively whether he ends up there or not.

Still say he does, though.

PS- I will say the only teams that I feel are a legitimate candidate otherwise are San Fran (because of their shitty prospects at QB anyway) and NE (Since you never know with Belichick)

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

lol @ thinking he's vying for a starting job.
Maybe next year but this year no way in hell..

Hell be used as a back up and probably alot like Kordell Stewart was his first year in Pittsburgh.

NO makes alot of sense. Him and Reggie in the same backfield in some of those oddball formations would be fun to watch.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

KOF is right, no way he walks out onto the field with a starting job.
