Chiefs Would you be OK with Mike Vick in KC?

I don't think the Chiefs will pick up Cassel's bonus in the offseason. If Cassel doesn't show he's playoff winning material by the end of this season, would you be OK with the Chiefs getting Vick? (Who is a FA at the end of this year).

Even if the Eagles go back to Vick as the starter for the rest of the year, Kolb's play and age means Vick is likely on the FA market. Vick also "dreamed of being KC's qb" when he was locked up in Leavenworth.

I think Vick is likely a changed guy, in that he's suddenly become coachable. He's out to prove people wrong, and I think he's been humbled. I don't think he's a choir boy, but he probably very much appreciates his NFL lifestyle these days. Having gone bankrupt, he's likely to have also lost his entourage.

Imagine how hard the Chiefs would be to stop on 3rd downs with Vick at QB. With our running game, Vick would mostly be confronted with 3rd and shorts. That's tailor made for his skill set. With playmakers like Charles and McCluster to use on misdirections, Vick would be absolutely scary.

And, with Vick's huge arm, we could drive people crazy with play action if we could get him a marginally competent deep threat.
