Peter King's Top 5 Michael Vick destinations (guess who is #1)

Brees and Vick cant both throw the ball. If its a passing play, it will have to be Brees or Vick throwing the ball. If Vick throws the ball, then Brees is not throwing it. Therefore it is one less throw for Brees. It makes no sense to ever have Vick throw instead of Brees. It makes even less sense to use Vick purely as a WR or RB, he has no NFL experience at those positions. He's not a better WR than Colston or Moore. He's not a better RB than Reggie or PT. He's not a better QB than Brees. There is literally no use for Michael Vick on the Saints team.

Coach Payton specifically said that the Saints have the lowest level of interest in the wildcat offense out of any team in the NFL. The reason why? "That's just because I want Brees to be getting the snaps all the time."

its not a poor argument.

Maybe I'm not being clear ... from what I'm gathering King believes when Vick comes into the game at QB it would be a run more often than not. How often does Ronnie Brown throw the ball? 5% of the time he takes the snap? The 5% would be after successful draws when the defense started to creep up. Those plays w/o Vick on the team would have been runs so Brees would not lose any pass attempts in a given game.

As for no NFL experience playing RB I'd counter he's played RB every year he's been in the NFL. :)
