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.

he would be A) cheap, and B) a viable option at backup. not to mention a decoy for this new wildcat craze that seems to be sweeping the NFL. Plus, with the geographic convenience for him, he may be more likely to sign here. I am by no means saying he is the next QB messiah for us, but really, would it hurt anything?

Well, he can play but has blown his chances!

All i have heard the entire offseason is how our players dont know the offense, now you want to add another offense just to get ONE player on the field??
Im just sayin we dont need gimmicks, we need to be proficient in the WCO before we even think of adding another set to our offense.

Hell no!!!

The chances of Vick coming here is pretty slim, so I'm guessing the decision has already been made.

vick probably won't get more than the league minimum. I'd invest that in a talent like Vick. His speed alone could mean the difference of at least one win, maybe more. Think how tired he'd make the Giants and Cowboys defensive line and then we ram Portis down there throats.
And I just want to make one thing clear, Campbell should and will be the starting qb even if Vick were signed. But if I were Zorn, I'd find a way to get Vick on the field.

Why would the Skins want another ineffective QB? Especially one with an image problem.

^Then enjoy dancing witht he stars or the AFC games.

wow, didn't think I would see so many excuses for this clown. Why should anyone have to be accountable for their actions. And that whole "did the time" shit, seriously, let's be realistic. If you're a felon, you're pretty much a piece of shit in society's eyes. Hope that doesn't break any hearts.

Yall need to put down the hate goggles and chill out for a second. Guess what some people really liked Vick, so of course there's gonna be some support but even then check the poll. The great majority don't want him on the team.

It's funny how fishing was brought up in this thread, just think about it for a sec.

I was listening to the JT show today and everyone was calling in saying they want Vick . God some of the people who support this team are really stupid.

It's hard to be a home town fan sometimes. For just that reason. I feel like i'm surrounded by idiots that only on game day agree with me. Atleast i can come on the Warpath and seek and find similar sentiments about my team. For those of you out there that feel exactly as i do about everything, i applaud you.

I did go fishing behind his home on the James River in Suffolk Monday in my boat. I also saw several people fishing behind his house from shore and wondered if having people catching and probably keeping fish could be against his parol. He is not living in this home but he does own it.

How would people fishing off the shore of his house violate his parole?
