Nw220 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Direct Snap: Top five spots where Michael Vick could play in 2013 Fri, Dec 7, 2012 1:49 PM EST Now that coach Andy Reid has carried out the carefully planned firing of Michael Vick as Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback, attention turns to where the passer may play next season. After talking to three NFL sources this week, here's a look at the likely landing spots for Vick this offseason. 1. Buffalo Bills – Though the team publicly denied being interested in Vick in 2009, a source close to the quarterback insists the Bills were a suitor. Additionally, current Bills starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is a nice player, but hardly a franchise guy. The Bills are built to win as soon as possible. Adding Vick to a team that has a solid offensive line would be an immediate boost. Also, coach Chan Gailey has experience working with mobile quarterbacks from his days in Pittsburgh with Kordell Stewart. Vick is far more talented than Stewart ever was, so Gailey could easily make this work. Michael Vick hasn't played since leaving the Eagles' Week 10 contest against Dallas with a concussion. 2. Cleveland Browns – The key to this possible match is that former Eagles president Joe Banner is now running the show for the Browns. Banner is a Vick fan. Moreover, Banner is, at best, lukewarm on the prospects of 29-year-old rookie starter Brandon Weeden developing into a star quarterback. In the bigger picture, the Browns have a great offensive line, a budding star running back in Trent Richardson and a pair of interesting young wide receivers (Josh Gordon and Greg Little). That's a strong nucleus in which to bring Vick, although it's also a layup drill for sarcastic media members who will point out that Vick will have joined the Dawg Pound. 3. New York Jets – The Jets are nothing if not daring and desperate, particularly after watching Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow spend the season flopping around like fish on the deck of a boat. Vick would serve a couple of purposes. First, he would be a serious upgrade in terms of talent. Second, and perhaps more importantly, he would boost ticket sales which have been stagnant for the past two years and are likely to decline after this season's fiasco. 4. Arizona Cardinals – They are always looking for a veteran fix at quarterback (see Kurt Warner and Kevin Kolb) and could acquire their second former Philadelphia passer in the span of three seasons. Moreover, that move might appease wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who is growing increasingly impatient with the direction the Cardinals are going. 5. Philadelphia – The final school of thought is that Vick ultimately won't go anywhere. More likely, it will be Reid who gets let go first and then the decision on Vick will be left to Reid's successor. If the successor is Oregon coach Chip Kelly or former Tampa Bay and Oakland coach Jon Gruden, Vick's chances of staying increase exponentially. Vick would fit Kelly's high-tempo offense (assuming Kelly wants to run that attack in the NFL). As for Gruden, the last thing he has ever done as a coach is develop a young quarterback. Vick, who is 32, fits into Gruden's model of an older guy who knows the playbook already. Source - http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--di...184931194.html Thoughts???

WRREBEL Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Vick is a guy who plays well in flashes but is never consistant enough to take a team deep into the play offs. He is better off on a bad team with no expectations. Arizona would probably be the best fit for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownB499 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Direct Snap: Top five spots where Michael Vick could play in 2013 Fri, Dec 7, 2012 1:49 PM EST 2.

That's a strong nucleus in which to bring Vick, Right now Vick has McCoy at RB Jackson,Maclin,Cellik to throw to...Hows that work'n out for him? I very much doubt that Truckstop Jimmy has made a habit out of hiring has beens and installing them in the most important position in his organization...No this story has Randy Lerner all over it Someone might want to clue in the auther that Randy has left the building...and the stench of dumbshit like this left with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 NO NO NO NO The guy is hurt more then he plays. ANd when he does play he sucks If we're building for the future, you don't want Vick. three years older than Weeden, and has a lot of mileage on him. PS that wasn't a Banner pick up, it was Andy Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 We have our QB. Yes, some of you hate him but those are the same fans that would be cussing Peyton Manning if he were here. Weeden has huge potential. yes. i agree. Get us a good offensive minded coach that is not so predictable that even the average fan sitting on his easy chair can predict what we are going to do, and we will be fine. He is young and making some mistakes, but that is the life of a rookie (regardless of his age). if you look at your own post you wouldn't know who you are making a strong statement FOR. a rookie QB or a rookie coach. both should be considered in the same breath. you can't call shurmur a piece of shit coach when his QB can't make the plays. hopefully haslam will keep it together for another year, with a more favorable schedule and some defensive draft picks...we'll be sitting pretty in the playoff race next year. meanwhile goodbye philly. goodbye pittsburgh. pennsylvania might have some beautiful countryside but it's the most boremesome state to drive thru on your way to ohio from the east coast. should you actually tip a amish gastender (?).

Westside Steve Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm already unenthusiastic about Joe Banner. This move would make it a lot worse. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 This rumor is also gaining traction. Apparently Banner is a big Ron Mexico fan. I don't want him here though.Vick is washed up. Just a terrible fit for him and the commentators' lame dog pound jokes will be unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowburn Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 More speculative drivel from ESPN dweebs. No doubt, Vick made some poor decisions. He did his time and paid his dues. Cut the man some slack. Vick in Cleveland? Who knows. But I willl say that I would certainly rather see him enter a game in a back up role rather the Colt.
