Would you accept Michael Vick on the Redskins?

GMScud makes great points, there is gray area galore. I'm of the same mind that I can overlook a DWI offense for certain positions, while someone convicted of aggravated assault probably wouldn't stand a chance with me.

There are positions where you just don't want to take the chance. If I'm hiring someone to clean the bathrooms of my office building, I probably don't care if they've been convicted of drug charges in the past. If I'm a car dealership hiring a car salesmen, I absolutely want someone with a 100% clean record.

Great point. I doubt Vick will ever be a starting QB in the NFL again cause it's so much more than throwing a football and reading defenses. There is the business side and your QB has to be marketable. No one says Vick can't work a 9-5.
