Re: If Dungy Believes in him, so do I
None of that has anything to do with Vick's ability to play football at a high level. The only thing that even touches on Vick's football ability (or lack thereof) is when Dungy said he had "potential."
Well, so what? I can name 30 guys that had potential and never amounted to anything on the field off the top of my head.

The game of football is tackle and avoid being tackled... when it comes to the latter Vick is second only to Barry. So saying he has a lack of football ability is nonsensical.

Dungy is well known to the NFL community as a decent and upstanding also God-fearing person, if he stands by Vick, so do I.
IMO it takes a good person to forgive.
Get it done Ralph!

Re: If Dungy Believes in him, so do I
I believe in the same God Tony Dungy believes in, and I have no problem giving Michael Vick a second chance. However, like Op, I believe he's a poor fit for what the Bills are trying to do offensively. His physical skills have likely eroded after being away from the game, and mentally I don't have the confidence that he's going to make good decisions with the ball. Whe just went out and spent significant money on Terrel Owens to give Trent Edwards a second big play threat and take the pressure off Lee Evans. You replace Trent with Michael Vick and suddeny it doesn't matter who your wide receivers are because your offense with Michael Vick as the trigger man is all about Michael Vick and the threat he is to run the ball.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

No matter who signs Vick he will not be a starting QB,,, he will be a package QB... used as a Wildcat or in some sort of option package.
No one is suggesting he take over for Trent.

Vick's sentence is not even going to over until July 20.
He then has to get re-instated. And then released by Atlanta (which will be quick).
Then he will listen to offers. By the time he is willing, ready and able to sign, it likely won't be until late August at the best and more likely not until the season is underway.
Pass.Originally posted by mysticsotoLecter is right in everything he said.

Re: If Dungy Believes in him, so do I
Michael Vick sucked as a quarterback in his last two seasons when opposing teams noticed the obvious: if you don't let him run he is a poor thrower. He might have ran a lot of yards but just take a look at his passar rating and record in 05 and 06. Michael Vick is a mediocre quarterback, stop saying he is the "most excinting player in the NFL" because he was not.
Anyway, considering we have THE FITZ! as our replacement I wouldn't mind the Bills signing Vick but then again I wouldn't mind us signing Losman for that matter.Last edited by Turbo.GUN.Hawk!; 05-23-2009, 11:26 AM.I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller!
