Michael Vick gets out of prison and is allowed to compete in the NFL

If you were an owner would you let him play on your team. personally i wouldnt because of the danger it could be to the other fans if say PETA were to try and attack him during a game. So despite the fact that he is probably still a good quaterback i wouldn't want the bad publicity

I'd say yes unless my quarterback is fairly good. I'd be happy for my fav team (Vikings) would take him.

Hasn't pretty much everyone in the NFL shunned Vick?

I wouldn't give that piece of trash the time of day. Even before the dog fighting he was still a problem in his Ron Mexico days. :roll:

Nope. Not only the bad publicity,but I have always felt he was overated. I never felt he was a true quarterback,more of a tailback that could throw. Besides,my team has brady.mattykovax

Look at some of the other starting QB's in the NFL right now. I'd take him over Russel in Oakland, Pennington in Miami, the list goes on. He's probably rusty, but he's a natural.

No way. Bad publicity, on top of mediocre skill set. Not worth it in the slightest. And animal cruelty is just disgusting.

[QUOTE="FUBAR24"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]I agree. He will have to go to a team who's fan's are as lowbrow as him. The Raiders are a match made in heaven.

I would laugh but I am kind of appalled at the message that the NFL is sending right now.

:lol: Have you ever seen or been to an Oakland game? They throw hard objects and snowballs filled with batteries at people. Then they also get into fights with everyone.

What he did had nothing to do with football, so yes.jointed

[QUOTE="warbmxjohn"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Probably not since most of them have been in prison the past few years themselves.

:lol: Well played.

Whatever happen to America being the land of second chances? Vick paid his debt, he made a genuine apology to everyone, and he's making every step to just play in the NFL. Ever heard of Elijah Dukes of the Washington Nationals? This guy got into so much trouble that he needs to have an ex cop shadowing him everything. I fully believe that Vick is already down on his knees right now, he is just a talented bum in deep debt, so why kick him while he's down. Those who does kick Vick down is no better than what Vick did themselves.hiphops_savior

I'm all for second chances, but playing in the NFL is a great privilege most will never have, and I think he lost thatprivilege when he decided to brutalize animals for entertainment and profit.

He's scum, I wouldn't let/want him to play for my team.

Absolutely. He served his time and he lost a hell of a lot, time to stop moral crusading and let him be. Revisionist history is a wonderful thing, Vick was a beast when he played, there hasnt been an athlete like him at QB but he didnt grow fast enough at that position (well, well's never know if he would have since he lost a year). I think he needs to reinvent himself, like an RB or WR type weapon. I'd be fine with my Panthers signing him.

If I was the owner of the Vikings and Vick was still good, I would jump at him. Add Vick and a franchise WR you have a scary team, a 5-headed monster.

What team needs him? I'd take just about any starting QB in the NFL right now over him. There are only a few who I tink he can do a better job than, and even with them they're either unproven or inconsistent, and you can't say Vick doesn't have problems with consistency himself. You also have to remember that he's not the greatest pocket passer, he's more of a mobile QB. He needs a good running game, physical receivers, and a coach who will focus on shorter passes and screens over big passing plays. He will never succeed in a west coast offense, and the only possibilities I see for him are Tampa, Cleveland, Houston, or Miami.

Tampa seems to have a set philosophy regarding QBs, and it doesn't seem Vick would fit that philosophy. If every one of their QBs is a bust, maybe, but we won't know that for at least another couple of seasons. If Matt Schaub can stay healthy in Houston he's a better QB than Vick, and even then the way their passing game is set up I doubt it's a good fit for Vick. Cleveland is riding on Brady Quinn right now and if he busts they might be interested, but I don't think they're going to give up on him until at least the end of this season. Miami is probably the best fit for him in terms of how the offense is set up, but if Pat White and Chad Pennington live up to expectations I wouldn't even take a second look at Vick. Every other team would be better off without him. Honestly, I don't see him having a starting career anymore. He'd be a servicable backup for most teams, but as far as being a starter i highly doubt it.

I don't see him having a realistic chance at joining any teams. Even though he did his time, those things can haunt you forever. If Vick is truly remorseful of his crime, I think it would only be fair to forgive after his punishment have been given and accepted. People act like he's the scum of the Earth.

If I was the owner of the Vikings and Vick was still good, I would jump at him. Add Vick and a franchise WR you have a scary team, a 5-headed monster.

T-Jack is a better fit for the offense and would do better on their system than Vick. You have a great receiver in Bernard Berrian and Percy Harvin will most likely develop into a great recever. Vick's a move the chains type of guy and you don't need that when you have a back like Adrian Peterson.
