May 26, 200917 yr Jay Cutler forces the ball, makes a lot of poor throws and in turn throws a lot of picks, but some people say he is good. Michael Vick changed the way defenses prepared for the Falcons and they did win, he may not have been the best passer in the league, but he was a darn good player. He took the Falcons to an NFC title game with Alge Crumpler, TJ Duckett and Warrick Dunn, he's a proven winner in this league and if the game hasn't passed him up, I think he will be good again.
May 26, 200917 yr I believe he should be allowed to play, but what in the world has Chad Johnson, (who I'm assuming you're talking about with "CJ") done to warrant being in the discussion? I meant Chris Henry, sorry about that. I had a guy named CJ Henry on my mind at the time I posted. I think most people still kind of got what I was going for, but again sorry for the mess up. Sad thing is I have read this thread like five times since and still didn't catch my error.

Pair that with two of the fastest/strongest legs in the league and you have a football player unlike anything we had seen. People maybe quick to jump and say Randal Cunningham, well I will be quick to say please sit down. If it wasn't for Mike Vick, guys like Tavaris Jackson, Vince Young, etc would have never gotten the chance.

One thing that has always bugged me is this: You go and you draft Mike Vick why.... because he is the best running QB to probably ever come to the NFL. WHY would you force him to be a West Coast QB? The best thing that has happened for Vick is the NFL coaches have taken a page from the high school coaches and started running the "Wildcat". I don't think you're going to find anybody better to run it than him!
May 26, 200917 yr Yes, and if anyone thinks different then it's a joke. People can pack guns, do drugs and get caught, shoot roids, and do many, many, other stupid things and this man is put in the pen for fighting dogs. Man alive, gotta love pro sports.
May 26, 200917 yr I am not saying he should not be allowed to play (I could really care less), but one reason I would say no, is because many jobs out there won't hire convicted felons. Jobs that are not nearly as high profile as the NFL. So why should they? Keep in mind, this is not my argument, just one that I could understand.
May 26, 200917 yr I will cheer for him to get sacked everytime he drops back, but he has served his time, so let him play.

Why would the profile level have an impact?

May 26, 200917 yr I am not saying anything, I just think that would be a reason. I am with you. Mike Vick would not be considered for employment at most places of business.

I don't think you're going to find anybody better to run it than him! I disagree, sort of. I think with great coaching he could have been a very good WC offense QB. Short, quick passes, rollouts, it could have been great.
May 26, 200917 yr Author I am with you. Mike Vick would not be considered for employment at most places of business. Felons get jobs when they get out of prison. Is there something special about the NFL vs , say, plumbing?
May 26, 200917 yr Felons get jobs when they get out of prison. Is there something special about the NFL vs , say, plumbing? Let's say teacher, policeman, fireman or truck driver or any place I have ever worked they will ask you if you are a convicted felon.
