Someone's gotta ask, Vick anyone??

I guess if someone gave me a choice of Vick or Farve I'd pick Vick right now, but hopefully it never comes to that choice.

I heard some guy on radio say Tony Dungy was Vicks counsellor right now and he was putting his reputation on the line for Vick. And he guessed maybe one of Dungy's good friends who coach might take Vick as a favor, which could be Pittsburgh or Chicago, not that either needs him.

Not much else to talk about for a couple more days.

The thing is this is more of a business decision than a football decision. If it weren't for the business ( which of course includes sponsers, team PR, etc.)
end of it, probably most of the teams in the league would take a shot at Vick if they could come to terms about the money.
So no matter how much Dungys HCoaching buddies may feel beholden to repay him for past favors, they've got to clear this decision with the guy who pays all the bills.

Interesting thoughts.

Personally, I couldn't stand the guy as a QB because he ran when he should've been going through his reads. Similar problem with Vince Young.

But I would love to know what Gibbs thinks about him, behind closed doors as opposed to some interview he's given in the past, because his opinion is the one that truly counts.

If we go 10 and 6 without him or 12 and 4 with him, I'd take him. I no longer value the character issue when it comes to the NFL because they seem to have an entirely different level of legal standards than I do, much like politicians.

I've gotta say "pass" on this one. I absolutely think he should have another shot at the NFL, and I think this conditional reinstatement is the best thing for him. He certainly won't be up to speed by week 1, and not allowing him back till week 6 gives him and whatever team signs him a built-in excuse for sub-par play. Methinks Miami is his best fit, since he's a wildcat-running OC's wet dream, though I think that is a bit of a long shot, especially since they just invested a 2nd round pick in pat white, who I like a whole helluva lot.

Me personally, I like the guy's skill set. An analyst from nfl network (the name escapes me) puts it best to me. When Vick was in the league, concerning athleticism only, Vick was 10 steps ahead of everyone else. If he comes back even half that he is still a threat for any team.

However, we had the third best offense last season. Our interest now is on defense.
