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

[onnestabe]

No way Vick becomes a Saint. I don't really understand why he is linked with the Saints any more than he would be linked with any other team.

The rest of Peter King's picks could make sense because they have taken gambles on character problems before. The current FO has avoided character problems for the most part, yet we are first on PK's list.

There isn't anyone in the national media that pays much attention to the Saints beyond two topics - Brees' amazing stats and Bush being/not being a bust. They don't know much about those topics, and once they stray from them, there's no telling what you're going to get. Not really worth looking for Saints articles from reporters outside of the Gulf Coast.

Let's see. Did Atlanta do better with Ryan or Vick at QB? Who is Ryan more like? Vick or Brees. Who's the best QB out of all three of these guys? Yeah, the guy who's already on our team. The idea that we need Vick to play even one play at QB for us is just plain stupid.

Actually, Atlanta did more with Vick. That said, I don't think that he is a fit here and I would be shocked if Payton brought him in. It makes no sense to me why Payton would consider bringing someone in who doesn't fit our scheme (a very successful one at that) in any form or fashion.

Tried to think of something profound and witty to say, but all it boils down to is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN WAY DO WE WANT VICK IN BLACK AND GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even if he can play safety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I`ll believe it when me **** turns rainbow sherbert.

If for some reason they did bring him in, I will not purchase any ticket to a Saints game or any Saints gear until he is gone. I will still root for the TEAM to win and watch on TV but nothing that will put more money in Benson's pocket from purchases.

Okay, I've typed responses to this in other threads, but didn't submit them. Now this article comes out and it exactly what I was thinking so I'll comment this time.

When this Vick stuff first broke, I was very much against Vick. With that being said, he has served his time and paid his debt. I do not think that the NFL should impose any more suspension on Vick, b/c if I recall correctly when this happened he was suspended indef from the league, well now he's out of prison so that indef suspension needs to have a date set for his return which should be the beginning of this season. I'm not going to get into what he did because people have different views on this and I am willing to put money on is that there are some people on this site that have bet on, raised or fought dogs themselves and if not dogs chickens. There are also players in the league that have killed human beings (Leonard Little and Donte Stallworth) and there are others that were suspected to have involvement in others (Ray Lewis). So he has paid his debt, if he uses his name and fame to speak out against animal cruelty and does good in society now then he should be forgiven and allowed to pursue his career.

Why he makes sense for us? Okay, he was a QB before he went to jail, not necessarily a great QB, but a dynamic playmaker that played QB. He wants to come back to play the same position, but he's been away too long to step right back in. We have a QB mastermind in SP, someone who turned Romo into a decent QB and that says a lot. He also has taken in a broken down Joey Harrington and revived his career as Drew's backup. That is where Vick comes in, as the 3rd QB. Drew's job is safe this is not even part of the discussion, bringing Vick is would be to add another element to the offense. SP and Drew can work with Vick on his QB skills to get him back to being NFL ready and even improve on what he was before while he can be used in special situations to create mismatches, run the wildcat and gadget plays. He can also be used to run the Wildcat for the defense to see so that when we face a team that runs the Wildcat we'd be prepared. Vick has something to prove as did Drew when he came here, different situations, but both were wrote off. Drew by the Chargers and Vick by everyone. I think we give him that opportunity. We are built to win and IMO, this is one chance we should take to maybe put us over the top. BTW, for those of you worried about taking the ball out of Drew's hand for a few plays per game, that's not that big of a deal.

I am actually hoping that we are the team that he goes to now.

Mike Vick in a "Saints" uniform. It would be ironic to say the least.

Pass on Mike Vick. Regardless, I think this dude is bad news.

Attn all commentators and sports analysts ! Do not waste any more of your time or mine discussing Vick w/ New Orleans Saints franchise. This will not happen for several reasons.
1. Saints Fan Base would not stand for it. We have hated him since the day he put on his falclown uni.
2. Coach Payton has built a team of integrity and morals. Vick would not be a fit.
3. We have the #1 offense the past 2 seasons in the league. No need for Vick.
4. Drew Brees is our QB. Vick is looking to be a starter.
5. He is a relative of Aaron Brooks. That is as close as vick will ever get to New Orleans.

Huh? Atlanta has went the NFC Championship game with Vick. Bad Example.

Actually, my grammatically challenged friend, it's a perfectly good example. I can't imagine one GM in the NFL who would rather have Vick than Ryan as their starting QB.

 

[Taceo]

I'd take him as a RB.

As Buddy D once said. I would like to ask this guy if he could bring some pictures from LALA land. And also a menu..I wanna know what kind of food they eat in LALA land!!!

This was your question...he answered your question. This quote has nothing to do with GM preference.

And...there is no need for the spell check stuff either.

Why isn't anyone mentioning Miami???

Why isn't anyone mentioning Miami???

Because no one is using their head to think of a place... Miami may be a good fit because he'd fit the style of offense they seemed to like running last year.

Good idea.

I've also seen someone mention Seattle. That would team him back with Mora Jr. That could be another fit.

I'm not against Vick getting another shot... just don't think we should try to fit a square peg in a round hole.

Again, I like the way you are thinking -- teams that could benefit from Vick's QB style.
