The Vick Factor

[REDSKINS1980]

First and foremost, I think the redskins need to establish the quarterback position. I personnally would invest the time and money in Vick, because he will be on the field trying to prove he deserves to be there and plus to attract a future mult-million dollar contract. The redskins cannot wait till midseason to see if Campbell will produce. They must decide now, will it be Campbell or Vick.

Welcome to the board...your post doesn't make sense

They must establish the quarterback position. I agree...but how do they expect to establish it by deciding to drop Campbell and invest in Vick when, as you state, he will be trying prove he deserves to be there and attract a future multi-million dollar contract. Isn't that basically what's going on with Campbell this year?

[REDSKINS1980]

I agree with you that this is probably Campbell's most important year. And he will have all the tools needed to be a successful quarterback. (line, receivers, and an elite running back). But to be honest with you, dont you think if he was going to get a contract. He would have gotten it by now. To show some kind of confidence in him as our franchise quarterback.

From a strictly football perspective, look at Campbell's QB rating and the progression over the last three years, then look at Vick's QB rating over his last 3 years playing.

P.S. Before there are any more "Snyder is an idiot" posts, please read the quoted post and be thankful Skins1980 isn't the owner.

You're right about the ProBowl. John Riggins has said more than once he always hoped not to get voted in. His logic being, why risk an injury on a useless game. Does anyone watch the thing?

[tdSKINS1]

YESSSS don't worry you will get torched for writing this thread but I support it 100%. He is a phenomanal athlete and I would love to see him as a skin. It would be a steal because you could get him for so cheap

[CRedskinsRule]

But why was he flipping off fans, because his play on the field was crud and worth getting called every name in the book. Please let him go somewhere else.

Would love to see him here. Watched him live in highschool, followed him in college and enjoyed watching him in the pros. However i dont see how he would fit in our system and Zorn has pretty much gone on record saying he wouldn't even consider the wildcat offense.

While i don't believe in dogfighting we all know he was used as an example and has certainly paid his dues. Tempted to go drive by his house, idk feel like a stalker haha.

I don't understand why Zorn wouldn't utilize the Wildcat offense. It has been really successful and we'd fly if we had vick running it 10-15 plays a game. Just think, that's 10-15 plays Portis isn't having to grind it out throughout the season which means he'll be fresher for the playoff stretch.
I'm not much of a Vick fan but his talent and speed in undeniable. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back after coming out of jail (mike tyson's fall comes to mind). But I'd much rather sign him and hope for the best as opposed to let Jerry Jones (or anyone else on our schedule for that matter) sign him and cut him loose on us.

[diehardskin2982]

The one thing I feel fans are neglecting to see is that he went to jail, all his past friends jumped ship on him and the effect that will have on him as a person. My initial thoughts are that he is probrally more spiritual than before and is surrounded by a stronger cirlce of people. 3 years ago Vick was the most athletic player in the league and one of three faces for the NFL. People make mistakes, and we would be picking him up to play football and win games, not run for public office.
Last year everyone said that Hall was such a douche but all he seemed to do for the skins was make plays and keep his mouth shut. Randy Moss had trouble before going to the Patriots, so did Corey Dillion. This is a no brainer from a football standpoint, from a revenue standpoint, talent standpoint and a publicity standpoint. I never remember Vick ever calling out his teamates or throwing them under the bus.

3 years is a long time in football. I wish him the best. Just not here. Heck, go to Miami or Tampa, they always like qbs.

[MTK]

It would make sense if he went somewhere where they could use him in the wild cat formation, we don't even run that so I don't see where he would even fit here.

i do not want him. really, where would he fit in? and everyone is in agreement that he would be a public relations nightmare

No its not agreed he would be a public relations nightmare, he grew up in redskins country and would greatly embraced.

The question really is how he would fit in.
