    For Vick to be effective you have to build a specific offense around his abilities. Kubiak will never change his system so I doubt Vick in Houston would be a good fit.

    I dunno, Kubiak's system involves plenty of roll outs and short passes. It wouldnt' be an absolute failure to plug Vick in. Am I missing something?

    It sounds like it should, but I thought that Atlanta is running the West Coast offense like we are here. I know that Vick has terrible touch on his short passes and he guns it to his receivers like they are 30 yards away.

    Charlie Casserly is not the GM for the Falcons so that trade would never go down.

    Yeah, not to mention the obvious. Why??? If Matt Schaub is all they think he is then, trading Vick for Carr is sheer nonsense.

    The GM for the Falcons would get lynched in ATL for that move, but potentially I would not mind. I just wonder about Vick's decision making. Overall, dont think this piece would factor well into our mix. We'll see ...

    Both QB's need a change of scenary, though the Falcons fired Jim Mora which means Vick is probably not moving...sort of like Carr when Kubiak came in.

    No way...Don't get me wrong, I think Vick is an incredible athlete, but a mediocre QB...Well, he is better than Carr...

    Maybe yes...

    Vick is atleast good running the ball and his team went to the nfc championship game. Carr has yet to post a winning record.

    Trade Carr to the Bears or Raiders for a low second/high third rounder. Target Kolb in the draft and sign a caretaker to platoon with Sage.

    John McClain said you wont get nothing higher than a 5th rounder for Carr which is about right. Thats still too high IMO.

    Some "Texan Fan" called Sirius NFL Radio this morning and asked them if they thought David Carr would be back.

    They said: Most likely no, but they said he has 'sparring partner syndrome' which means he's been hit too many times. They still think he can play though.
    Also mentioned there was NO EXCUSE for them not to throw the ball deep since they have Andre Johnson and Moulds.

    Of course they mentioned the NFL draft. I dont even have to tell you what they said.

    They said look for a veteran QB to be signed (Jake?).

    Ron Mexico? I dont know. that would be ironic if they got him.
