I'm going to continue to call you that if you don't mind. I just have this image of old school Art Monk with Chad Johnson teeth.
That's fine with me; maybe a little flare would get him into the HOF.

Re: Marcus Vick's new team?

I'm not going to waste time making excuses for Marcus. He's got pretty decent potential and will get his chance. The NFL is not made up of golden boys and a lot of head coaches put up with immature and selfish players. Marcus' struggles will be that people are going to expect him to be next human highlight reel, which he won't be. He's not going to make things happen with his feet when things break down. He's a much better passer than Ron but I think a lot of people won't be all that impressed by him if he doesn't display some that Vick elusiveness.

This is what bothers me. I dont agree that he has decent potential. He is athletic, and thats where the "potential" stops. A successful QB in the NFL has to be smart, respected, and a leader. Vick will never be any of those. Hes a thug that will never get past his own demons enough to inspire those around him to victory. If you cant pull your life together with the potential of millions of dollars within your reach, then it just aint gonna happen.

Agreed 100%

Re: Marcus Vick's new team?

You'll get no argument from me regarding Vick's character issues. However, as long as players like Pacman Jones get a shot then you can be sure there are coaches in the NFL that are going to give Marcus a shot. He'll find some altruistic player or coach that takes him under his wing and defies public opinion that he can't be "saved". You may not want him in the NFL but eventually (and sadly) he'll find his onto a roster.
