Mod Merge: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know Re: Vick and the Pats

From Cris Price's blog - some fool had to ask:

Coach Bill Belichick was asked indirectly about the possibility of Michael Vick joining the Patriots. He said: “Michael is an outstanding player and hasn’t played in a couple years. But our focus is now (on practice).” He was also asked about the possibility of going after other free agents: “Every situation will be evaluated on its own merits.”

That is so BB.

If Vick lands with the Patriots...

would he be a wr, rb, or kick returner?

also, think of the hate it would bring on. they are already hated by all the other fans in the nfl, adding vick will only make them hated more. i hope they get vick if for no other reason than to BRING ON THE HATE

Hard to say what he'd be... if I had to guess I'd say NOT returner. Wr & Rb with the option of tossing it downfield would be my guess. Maybe he'd just stand on the sidelines with a clipboard and never play - just there for psychological warfare !

I am guessing that would all depend on what BB is looking to increase....fumbles or receptions for negitive yards.

As a running back he is a prolific fumbler. As a wide receiver he avg negitive 7 yards per catch.

Re: If Vick lands with the Patriots..

Just what we need; another (ridiculous) Vick to the Patriots thread.

Re: If Vick lands with the Patriots..

Wherever he lands, I hope it's soon. It would be nice to have an end to all of these threads.

Re: If Vick lands with the Patriots..

I respect his athleticism and the excitement he brings to the field. However, my religious and philosophical believes will never let me forgive him for what he did. That said, here is what I'd do:

I'd sign him to play WR/flank...and on the first day of practice, I'd make him come over the middle and let Chung and Merriweather have clean shots at him. Over...and over...and over...and over...and over...again.

Re: If Vick lands with the Patriots..

I really can't see him being any kind of help other than as just being a decoy. The offense is fine the way it is he'll just take chances away from Brady and co.

I'm willing to bet my savings that more than 50% of athletes cheat on their wives. Of that, probably 25% have children out of wedlock.

These guys aren't saints.

Re: If Vick lands with the Patriots..

OK...deja vu all over again...

didn't we just have a long, tortuous thread on this topic? didn't some of us wax poetic about the abomination of dog fighting? weren't others equally impassioned on what they perceive as the inherent inequity of picking and choosing among felons?

can't we all just get along? hasn't training camp begun? aren't we all more concerned about Tommy's brace and Wilfork's mood and stuff like that?

Re: If Vick lands with the Patriots..

Enough with the Vick threads already! The Pats don't need trickery to beat anybody. Get over it!

LMAO...

There are plenty of studies out there that say that about 70% of married males have been unfaithful to their wives at some point. So I think your 50% estimate is a little low

Good point. Next thing you know, someone will claim that someone who never started in college is going to be able to be an NFL quarterback.

Re: If Vick lands with the Patriots...

3rd string QB... basically he would take up a spot on the 53 so we could practice against the wildcat. Only possible fit I could see. Might as well just hope Edelman clears waivers.
