Marcus Vick not impressive in Dolphins camp

MIAMI - Quarterback Marcus Vick has been inconsistent during the first two days of the Dolphins' minicamp and, barring a stellar day on Sunday, seems unlikely to get a contract offer from the team.

The Dolphins invited Vick to the camp as an unsigned tryout player to gauge his potential value, but he has been working with the second-team players behind undrafted free agent quarterback Justin Holland.

Vick, the former Virginia Tech star, did complete a 50-yard throw to receiver Fred Gibson for Saturday's most impressive throw by a quarterback. But he has been wild high and wide on many of his middle-distance throws the past two days.

Vick's size, listed on the camp roster as 6-0 and 207 pounds, also has not helped, as he has been forced to move around in the pocket to find passing lanes that taller throwers might see more easily.

Dolphins coach Nick Saban has characterized Vick's time with Miami this weekend as, "a date. We're not getting married," he said.

Kind of makes you wonder what happens to old mexico if he ever loses some of his mobility. Marcus is said to be a better passer than Michael.......

You mean catcher, like in prison.

Marcus "Don't Drop The Soap" Vick

"Marcus Vick should go spend a year or two in Canada or the Arena league. Clean up his image, develop some good work habits, and get a couple of solid years under his belt. Be impressive again, and then try out for a few NFL teams as a free agent."

Yep.
