Chiefs Would you give up a late rd pick for Vick's rights? - Page 4

ferrarispider95 · 04-25-2009, 12:24 PM

Espn reported that Atlanta is shopping the rights to Vick? Would you toss out a 6th or 7th round pick?

If you deal with the PR nightmare, dude would be a beast coming in situational spots. Throw in the wildcat and you have a legitimate pass option.

While I agree that he has paid his time and should get another shot.. I wouldn't want him on my team.

but whoever gets him.. he would probably best be used exactly the same way Reggie Bush is used in New Orleans. Unless his ass looks like Elephant ears after the time in the pen.

Tebow is going to be in the draft next year. Why would you want Vick?

JD10367 · 06-01-2009, 08:45 AM

Okay. Personally, I despise Vick. I think he's overrated, and I love dogs, and I hope a pitbull takes a chunk out of his ass someday in retribution for the species.

Having said all that: he does have some on-field value, especially with the popularity of the Wildcat again thanks to teams like Miami. As a receiver, a running back, or just a change-of-pace QB, he would have to be gameplanned for, and anything that gives your opponent something else to think about is worth considering.

Especially since he'd come pretty cheap, and--the Tom Bradys of the world aside--you usually don't find much of value with a 6th- or 7th-round pick.

Now, there would certainly be a stigma to signing him, not to mention a media circus, and a fan uproar from both the fans of the team he's on as well as the enemy fans. (I wonder how many Milk-Bones he's gonna get thrown at him.) And I'm not sure a young, rebuilding team needs that sort of headache. A team like the Patriots or Steelers or Colts could probably weather the storm and make it worth their while to have him around. However, ironically, a team like that also wouldn't NEED him around. So it's sort of a Catch-22: he'd be more help to a Kansas City than an Indy or Pittsburgh, but he'd also be more of a headache for Kansas City than for Indy or Pittsburgh.

I'm really on the fence. I think he's paid his debt to society, at least in terms of what the legal system demanded of him. So he's perfectly entitled to give the NFL another try, if someone will take him. I'm just not sure I'd want him on a team I like... or a team I hate.

Again, he's positively going to end up in Atlanta West. I'd bet money on it.

The guy has done more time than any one person would have served for similar crimes, will have the ongoing problems of being a felon for the rest of his life and people still want to punish him further? He did the crime and he did his time, isn't that what society asks for? RayRay and Leonard Little both killed people and where is the PR nightmare and backlash regarding this, THAT is what I find more disgusting than anything. Little has been in the league for years since killing a MOTHER and it appears to be a forgiven or at least forgotten thing.

This...

The double standards that people have for animals is ridiculous.

Is this question assuming that Vick will take a huge pay cut? His big money contract is still in affect for his future if he is traded for isn't it????

Chief Faithful · 06-01-2009, 09:08 AM

No to Vick the citizen and football player. Keep him out of KC.

That's just one giant bell I wouldn't like for my team to ring...

CoMoChief · 06-01-2009, 09:12 AM

Rams have Leonard Little, hell why not sign Vick?

HC_Chief · 06-01-2009, 09:17 AM

HELL NO.

BarrySPAMAID · 06-01-2009, 04:08 PM

Again, No.

I believe it's the contract that's the part of the issue.

RJ · 06-01-2009, 04:16 PM

I'd be ok with it, depending on the draft pick and the salary. Not crazy about it, but ok with it. I'd call it a worthwhile roll of the dice.

And yes, as a matter of fact I am a dog lover. Got two of them myself.

The double standard is not ridiculous. Animals have no protection against humanity. They don't have free will, nor the means to defend themselves other than what nature gives them, which when compared to the "tools" mankind can bring to the table, they don't stand a chance. What Vick did was heinous. And those who follow in his footsteps deserve to be treated equally as horrible as they treat their dogs.

Vick may have paid his debt to society, but I don't give a shit. Let that dumb mother****er work at 7-11 for the rest of his life.

Deberg_1990 · 06-01-2009, 04:45 PM

Id take him. Hes worth a 6th or 7th rounder no doubt.
