Would you take Marcus Vick

The kid obviously has a crap load of upside. He's got talent, but admittedly he's trouble. After next season he may would've been a 1st or 2nd rounder. So if you're the Carolina Panthers and Marcus is there on Day 2, would you take a shot at him even with his past? The team obviously needs to groom a QB of the future, and if his head gets straightened out he may have that potential. No question I'm worried to but for a later pick I would have to think REAL hard about it.

 

I don't really like having either to fix a guy's character or to work around it. That's too distracting and takes too much energy away from the task of teaching him the pro game.

 

Dammit you didn't wait for the poll

 

Just voted. Guess which one.

 

I'd pass.


Maybe that's why I am not in the front office.

 

I'd interview the shit out of him. And then I'd work him out, and because I'd want to break him, I'd probably make him run a bunch of suicides and shit. I'd have him work out with a QB and a punter, not tell him he's going to be a receiver, just make him figure it out and make him get through the workout.


Then I'd consider him as a 2nd day WR, if he didn't bitch too much during the process, and probably make him catch punts.

With this team? no. I wouldn't touch him if he's in the same division as his brother.

 

Some team will give him a shot. Maybe the opportunity to rub those that passed noses in it will prompt him to turn his shit arround. Maybe we could sign Lawrence Phillips to mentor him? We could always use another talented RB. When is Rae-Rae up for parole? Damn, we may have found our version of the early 90's Dallas triplets.


Hell, let's chase T.O. too. WE'LL BE AWESOME.

 

VICK TO TURN PRO

Permanently dismissed by the Virginia Tech football program, quarterback Marcus Vick has opted to declare himself eligible for the NFL draft.

Said Vick: "It's not a big deal. I'll just move on to the next level, baby."

Thanks for the news flash, baby. We hope you won't spend all your signing bonus in one place, baby. Because you're not going to get nearly the same amount of money that your big brother Ron Mexico received five years ago, baby.

Vick's quote -- "I'll just move on to the next level, baby" -- is all the proof that we'd need to conclude that he doesn't get it, and never will. Sure, someone will burn a draft pick on him because they'll think that they're capable of putting enough polish on a turd to make it shine, and shine this turd might, but only for a brief period of time.

If a guy can't get through his college career without being suspended for a whole season and then kicked off of the team, how is he going to handle the more significant pressures, demands, and temptations of life in the NFL?

Our guess is that big brother Mike will do something to spare Marcus the embarrassment of being a second-day pick, or of not being drafted at all. the elder Vick already has Falcons owner Arthur Blank wrapped around his . . . finger. If Michael says he wants Marcus to be taken with a third-round pick after the team (at Michael's request) trades Matt Schaub, it will happen.

And since Blank already has determined that selling tickets and merchandise with Vick means more than winning games, our guess is that Blank will easily be able to justify a decision that possibly could extend the Vick dynasty in Atlanta deep into the next decade.
