Thats what im sayin, he isnt better than what we already have so there is no need to bring that baggage to D.C

I'll agree that I'm totally not sure if he's a good fit for our system. Although I'm not sure if he's not. When MV was first in Atlanta he was so I thought in some form of the "Run and Shoot" under Reeves and possibly Jim Mora. I think he only had a few yrs under the WCO style when they were trying to make him more of a pocket passer. So I'm not sure how well he will do and not sure if this style of WCO will work for him.

I will not deny he has talent. The question is has he lost any of his abilities while locked up not practicing and if so how soon could he get that back if he can at all, but he won't know unless he tries. Now who best to work with him on his technique other then Zorn? From a player stand point. It's like wanting to work with Buges if your a lineman.

To say he's not better then what we already have is an understatement. I believe no one would say Collins is better then MV. and at this point Colt is still rough around the edges so MV may even be better then him talent wise.

I would see no reason to not bring him in and let Zorn work with him. Let him play during preseason to see what he has. If he's better then TC then let TC go and keep MV. If he's not any better then cut MV. If nothing else it gives MV a chance to show other teams if he can cut it or not and perhaps get picked up by another team if we cut him. No harm, No foul.

and...what other bagage does he bring other then him being scrutinized about his dog issues? Drugs? hopefully that issue is resolved also with him being in prison and with him on probation hopefully he has to have random piss tests. So I'm confused as to what other bagage people keep refering to? People brought up him flicking off the fans but if I'm not mistaken it was around the time he was being looked at in the dog issue and fans were probably a little ugly about the issue. No different then on here.

I like the fact that Gibbs has the team looking at high character people now but not looking at people talent wise and trying to make the team better won't get you to the SB any quicker. Sometimes you have to take a chance on someone even if you have to put some extra stipulations in the contract to controll them.
