Michael Vick? TT Is One of 8 Teams To Not Say No! Sign Vick?

[woodbuck27]

Sign him and turn him into a running back. He can't pass the ball with great success.

What about Grant & BJack? Vick has been successful running because he was the QB. Put him at RB and I bet he doesn't average over 4 yards a carry.

Never going to happen. Much ado about nothing.

Humphrey broke his arm today.

Hello Mike Vick?

Any other word on this supposed workout???

[SnakeLH2006]

Would people in favor of signing Vick be willing to let go of Flynn or Broh, I wonder? If so, which guy and why?

This is all nonsense. The votes say as much as it's almost 45/55 voting to bring him in (Vick) yet most bashed it on posts.

That's ok, as Snake is NOT a Vick fan as a QB, but he has amazing physical skills and many have said he's changed (Snake has known some dudes that went to prison....and it's 50/50 if they really change...but after reading/hearing about him..I think he's different) and really, it's all about his talent which is top-notch (maybe the most talented player in the NFL) and I'm not talking QB (as he won games, but as a Slash QB-RB-WR-PR-KR)...that would be a boon to our or any system.

I don't think TT has any issues in 2009 with distractions, as this would be a BIG thing for a week or two on ESPN, but I really think Mike Vick wants to fit in and get a chance. 4.26 speed at QB is INSANE...put that at as an option at RB (as a decoy...not as BJ or Grant's replacement)...it's golden. Put him at WR...decoy....crazy stuff happens. Maybe we pass to him, and Vick (who has an incredible arm, just goes nuts and throws it to anyone) To say that Vick, the player, would not give the GB offense a shit ton of dynamite anytime he's on the field is insane.

NFL Defenses have to look at that (Vick on EVERY play he's on field). For the cheap cash we'd have to sign him, he'd do wonders for our O and ST. Just crazy....He wants a reboot and looks sincere. I'd take a chance on him for cheap.

Incredible fucking talent....maybe overhyped as a QB...but to think he's gonna cost Flynn/Brohm a roster spot. LMFAO. Even if he (Vick) was a QB, then hell, I'm sure TT would find a way to make Brohm go IR with a bum knee within a month. No matter what Flynn is the backup or at least 3 at QB...then figure out Vick's spot (at the expense of Brohm who really looks lost). Vick as the #2 QB looks awesome no matter what. Dude's QB rating is shit, but for the first time ever, Snake looked at his winning % as he's a winner...and even as a backup for cheap...he makes the Green Bay Packers BETTER in 2009 without a doubt. Sign the bastard. Can't wait to see him on PR/KR/Wildcat....TD at any moment.

It's RARE you get a shot at a physical freak that can affect the game positively in so many ways for oh so CHEAP. Dude fucked up with the dogs....I'm over it. Seems sincere...and hasn't been a TO type locker room cancer EVER. Paid his dues..I'm all with it. Sign him for cheap and trade him if must be, but GB (under TT) is totally the right place in a small market for Vick to get back on track. Dude's talent is over the top....I don't see much of a distraction, as he's never been a problem as an active player.

I see no problems in the future with Vick, but having him for $2 million a year in 2009? Is that a problem? Hell naw. Deal with him in the Wildcat or as a RB Goaline with ARod under center...UNFUCKINGSTOPPIBLE. Sign him now. Packer fans are great fans, but good peeps, and forgiving. This would be a great home/new beginning for Michael Vick.

He is no cancer. He fucked up. But at an affordable cost with his talent..shit. It's so easy to see a caveman would sign him. It all comes down to teams wanting to deal with the media. GB would be perfect. I don't see a big deal after he rips up a few preseason games. Guy messed up. Big deal. Top talent in the whole NFL for cheap that wants to repair his image. He's no Moss/Ocho Homo/TO IMHO. Seems ok. Not gonna cause any future waves...other than electrifying us Rats with his gameplay all over the FUCKING FIELD. Dude has tons of potential..and as cheap. Sign him TT. Done.

Worry about Vick after you have Raji under contract.

Freak? What bearing if ANY does this have on Vick?

Like there is a precedent of 1st rounders not signing??? Oh crap...Crabtree is holding out? Shit....!!!!! BJ will be signed soon and has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with this.

So...we won't sign BJ for 5 years and almost 8 million per? Oh crap....Fuck.....That will happen anyday now. What does that have to do with Vick for $3 mill or so? Sign the guy.

BJ is old news. He's just waiting to see the 1st round #8-12 guys get deals to get his market value. What does that have to do with Vick (not like the Pack isn't crazily below the cap to sign ANYONE)??

[The Leaper]

As mediocre as Vick is as an NFL QB...he's light years ahead of Brohm or Flynn right now despite the rust. As a #2 QB, I think he would provide value to the Packers. I think he's worth taking a look at.

Exactfuckingatlatly........Vick's value is WAY beyond QB. That dude gives us options all over the field. Again, Snake don't think he's a cancer, and with his talent (second to none since Gale Sayers IMO)...why not?

Dude gives TT (the Pack) so many Offensive and ST options (as if this...) well we waive Bhrom (worst case scenario)...oh well....we got Michael Vick IMPACTING GAMES!!.....that guy wins games at WR/RB/some QB/and PR/KR....sobeit for cheap. He's not a TO. Snake is all aboard that train.

Snake,

Really liked your breakdown there. The more I hear about Brohm, the more I think "COMPLETE Bust" and therefore expendable. I hope they can develop something there, but my optimism is waning.

The thing about bringing Vick in is it sounds like it's for the sole purpose of implementing gimmicky plays. Vick comes in for a snap and EVERYONE knows he's getting the ball. If he doesn't, people are complaining about the money and talent wasted on a distraction ('distraction' intended only in the sense of a distraction during a play, not off the field - I agree with you there)

The Brohm thing, I agree MIPackFan, to a point, as Brohm MAY work out, but he'll have 0 impact this year once again. Put him on IR somehow (happens all the time in the NFL). Even if they cut him...sobeit. Snake eyes don't cry.

Having a weapon like Vick is incredible. I really don't see it as a gimmick as some said, as he CAN and WILL impact the game even if he doesn't touch the ball. He would conform to our Offense (not just gimmick plays as those ATL coaches were poor and just gave him the ball and said, "Hey whatever dude, just win it."...He's had little coaching, but seems like a good guy, other than the dog hangings ) and would be a HUGE 2nd team QB option (or a few plays goalline or if Arod gets winded).

GB is perfect for Vick at his point in time (small market, great fans that want a winner) to get his career back on track. Snake is not a Vick fan so much, as a talent fan to a point. TO, Ocho...hell no. Vick paid his dues and didn't kill someone like Stallworth, yet got almost 2 years...Stallworth got 30 days. What's up with that? Snake won't debate that stuff, but hey, Vick is very well liked with his teammates and seems like a coachable guy. I'd take him on as a teammate, no probs. Give him a chance.

Hester got $10 million a year!!! WTF. Who can/would impact more ST and O plays? Vick hands down...as he's a threat to bring it to the house on any play he touches it on PR/KR....but also at RB/WR/QB. I don't see Vick as a gimmick as he'd demand double coverage no matter where he's at (assuming his skill level is on par or close with the past, but hey he's a young 29...spending the last 18 months trying to bang out license plates and mastering stitching up socks, or what not).

At this point...give him a 2 year deal above the vet min. as his cost is incredibly low. We'd showcase him in numerous packages as a decoy most of the time, but free up Jennings, Grant, DD, Finley, Lee, etc. etc.

Unbelievable the things we could do with Vick (forget even the Wildcat). Line him up somewhere and NFL D's have to acknowledge that Vick could run/catch/pass from anywhere on the O and prob. be up there with Hester as a KR/PR.

Unbelievable value for what you pay for him....$10 million for a limited Hester? $2 million for a multi-talented/faceted Vick option?....Easiest choice EVER.

NFL teams could NOT defend that with ARod under center with our talented O. No way.

Either way...How much confidence do any of you Rats have of Flynn/Brohm winning a game if Arod went down vs. Vick?... Yep...thought so. Dude is a weapon and an incredible asset trying to get his life back together. Sign the Vick, TT!!!
