    I'd take him, we could then implement a wildcat formation to throw other teams off. Put Vick in at QB with Slaton and Johnson on the field. We'd have so pass/run options.

    Absolutely, positively, no way in all hell would I put him on my team.

    He is a cruel, inhumane individual who can rot in effing hell.

    And I'm allergic to dogs.

    If the Texans signed Vick, I would get rid of every piece of Texans memorabilia I own, and start pulling for the Redskins again like I did before Houston had a team.

    Wow, I didn't know some of y'all feel that strongly against Vick. I said it before but if he can show some of his old form, I'd love to have him. The guy did lead the Falcons to a playoff win over the Packers at Lambeau at a time when it was almost unheard of.

    Vick is the Iverson of the NFL. Even at his peak, he's not going to take you to a Super Bowl. He's a marvel, but running QBs and ball-hogging PGs are historically a bad, bad, bad idea.

    I think Vick would make a great tailback with his speed and open field running. And then you have the novelty of having 2 QBs on the field. The halfback pass or little pitches would be a constant threat. If I were a coach, I'd take a chance on rehabbing him back onto the football field as a multipurpose threat and gamebreaker. He is faster and more elusive than 90% of the running backs in the NFL right now.

    Picking up a QB that will get booed immediately by the local fans would not be a great idea. You would lose many season ticket holders who are dog lovers as well.

    Bad idea for the Texans, but I can see him go to the Raiders.

    He wouldn't be booed in Houston if he was a Texan. Lakers fans didn't boo KOBE at all during his rape trial.

    Yes, but that's because Kobe is actually a good player.

    Ray Lewis didnt kill anybody, if he is guilty of anything it would be witholding info on who the shooter was.

    NO? But you welcomed a psycho like Artest with open arms and now cheer his every move. Why should Vick be any different - I mean it's a little late to start considering quaint ideas like morality and acceptable behavior in a professional athlete isn't it? After all, isn't the new mantra "Winning Is The Only Thing That Matters? I was under the impression that ideals like "character" were irrelevant as long as a guy could help the team "win".

    I don't know about dada...but it's not the moral stuff that would keep me from wanting vick. i don't think vick was that good to begin with...particularly as a passer...and i can't believe he got any better in prison. i'd certainly give him a look at WR, but i'm guessing he wouldn't be interested in that.

    I never wanted Artest, I said that the only way the Rockets should get him is he comes for basically nothing.

    Well.....

    As for Vick....no.

    Oh, I agree with you completely: he does indeed suck big time and you're spot on about him not getting a lot of reps in the joint.
