SoulMan Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Plus a couple of other (simple) moves can get the Bills headed back to the playoffs... Based on only his athletic ability and track record (not his personal baggage) Vick is twice as good as any QB the Bills currently have on the roster. Although never Peyton Manning or even a Donovan McNabb, Vick was a good QB - a great QB when you factor in his running ability. Now, he is humble and eager to prove to the world that he can come back and be a great starting QB again in this league - and he'll come cheap and motivated. With Vick as QB, you draft a tackle with the #9 pick and place him at RT (to protect Vick's blindside)...rest of OL sets up like this: LT - Leveitre LG - Incognito C - Hangartner RG - Wood Pretty good offensive line...especially if you make this a RUNNING team. With Vick, Jackson and Lynch (who best be motivated or he'll get shown the door with a new regime) the Bills could have one of the top 5 rushing attacks in the league. To round out the offense - pick up a FA #2 possesion receiver (lose J.Reed) so reciever depth (TE too) looks like this: Lee Evans - 1 FA - 2 Roscoe Parrish (new "offensive" minded coach can bring out his potential??) - 3 Hardy - 4 Johnson - 5 Shawn Nelson (TE) Derek Schunamen (TE) Use the rest of the draft on the front 7 now that they're changing to 3-4 Defense - NT and OLB especially - secondary is already top 10 in NFL with good depth. Front 7 can line up like this: K.Willams (LE) Draft Pick/Free Agent(NT) Stroud (RE) Maybin (OLB) Poz (ILB) Mitchell (ILB) Draft Pick/Free Agent (OLB) Call me crazy but this team looks pretty good on paper and can play with all 3 teams in the division... Not too far awfully far off - One glaring exception - Vick. Vick is just a bad quarterback. With a good line, we'd be better off with Edwards.

BillsRUs Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 This may come as a shock to some people but hype doesn't always equal talent. Vick is all hype and little talent. Setting aside his character issues for a moment, Vick never did anything as a starting QB. He got the Falcons to the playoffs once. He lacks accuracy. He can't read defenses. He has one skill: scrambling. You can't build an offense around a guy like him. And, by the way, spending two NFL seasons in the slammer did not improve his skills. So you want the Bills, who have not had a good QB in years, to trade or sign Vick, who lacks every skill the Bills need in a QB? Are you so starved for media attention? Because that's all signing Vick will get the Bills. PTR True. It really does irk me Vick is bandied about as a "great" QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChimp Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Vick would never wanna come to the Bills. Buffalo doesn't have half the dogfighting operations that Philly does. And the gangs in Buffalo are so unsophisticated compared to the gangs in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The guy is a horrible football player. What has he done that merits the ballwashing? Why do people think it's not important for a QB to be able to throw the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 people that say we are better off with what we have are totally clueless. All of our QB's are TERRIBLE!!! VIck, while may not be great, IS an upgrade. whether or not he can throw doesnt matter, cuz our current QBS cant either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BufflaloBeastMode23 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Those WR's are so terrible now with Matt Ryan. Things really turned around once Vick was gone, showing that they were winning despite him, not because of him Was roddy white good when he had joey harrington or how bout byron leftwitch or better yet chris redman??? UMMMM NO...he just happend to find how to play in his 5th year and hell he's not top 5 receiver he's good better than his rookie year when mike was there...not to mention peerless price was there was he good? i know you know bout that guy, so its mikes fault he wasnt good? and how can you say they got better when he left? did they get to the nfc championship game yet? I THINK NOT..so until they get there or to the superbowl your quote is highly invalid...and if im not mistaken didnt mike get CHEERED into the game and didnt he get CHEERED when he SCORED WITH A NEW TEAM ON HIS OLD TEAM IN ATLANTA..I think I may have imaged that or something *sarcasm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Vick = a POS as a person that sucked as an NFL QB, that spent time in jail and during that time lost his ability to be a great athlete which = WE SUCK EVEN FURTHER if we bring this assclown in. I really wish people would stop fantasizing about this scum bag. He could never win a game with his arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Yeah, Vick avoids sacks. http://www.nfl.com/players/michaelvick/car...ts?id=VIC311467 If we're serious about it, we should sign Marcus Vick. He's got a nice rap sheet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Vick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 So I spelled a no-name TE's name wrong, and in my opinion that is a pretty good line. Who on the current roster is better then Vick? Edwards? Fitz? Brohm -- how would you even know unless he's your cousin? Vick went to pro bowls - he ran for 1,000 yards one year (or pretty damn close). Randall Cunningham was thought to be a one-trick pony as a running QB...he proved everyone wrong in Minnesota and put together some good years after his prime Cunningham threw for nearly 30,000 yards and over 200 TDs--nearly all of that in Philly. Wow--what a horrible comparison. But not nearly as bad as...... Steve Young??? You're comparing Vick to Young? They are only similar in that they both have a "v" somewhere in their names. What a joke! Look, NO TEAM needs a QB who can rush for 1000 yards per year. They need a QB who an throw 3000. What do you think this is, the Big 12 in the 80's?? Maybe we can get Turner Gil to come to Buffalo---as our QB! Oh, wait, they don't run the option offense in the NFL. I would bring Vick in as punt returner. Next....
