RLflutie7 Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 That the Falcons have kicked the idea around . . . only because of injuries. Move Vick to running back and have Matt Schaub play QB. Then Adam says they're never going to do it, but it's been discussed. If they did it and Vick did well along with Schaub it would kill Vick's QB career. I've said before that I think too many young African American QBs look to run too much and I got screamed at and told to leave. But if you watch Vince Young on third downs and other big plays (overtime) he plans on running rather that throwing and that will hurt him in the long run. Vick is going to break Bobby Douglas' record for QB rushing, becoming the first QB to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. That's nice but does it really help him or his team? Vick has taken enough heat from the elder Mora and everyone else. Don't do it Falcons. Mike should just throw the ball and trust your teammates.

It would kill Vick. Imagine Vick running straight ahead over guard and being hit behind a middle linebacker. It would also kill Schaub. Can anyone imagine Vick picking up a blitz?

Don't do it Falcons. 867113[/snapback] The Falcons won't do it for 1 big reason: It would expose Schaub as the career backup he is and make it impossible to hoodwink some club into trading for him like Jacksonville did to the Bills in 1998 with RJ.
daquixers_is_back Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I would think it would be smarter to make Vick a receiver. Almost like a reggie bush type.

Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Bungee Jumper said: Can anyone imagine Vick picking up a blitz? 867150[/snapback] Probably wouldn't need to. He's so fast that he could probably catch a swing pass out of the backfield before the qb gets sacked.
Swift Sylvan Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 If only they had Jason Peters to play QB

Bush is on pace for a 97 reception, 850 receiving yard year ... as I said. A Reggie Bush type.

Mikie2times Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 BlueFire said: Yeah, but Bush plays RB, not WR. 867259[/snapback] I thought he returned punts? Why can't he be a PR.
daquixers_is_back Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 BlueFire said: Yeah, but Bush plays RB, not WR. 867259[/snapback] Actually if you really want to debate this, one could say that Bush "plays" WR and is "listed" at RB ... look at the carries to receiving ratio. He is basically half RB/half WR Ok. Let me edit my post so that people who don't want to engage their brain can understand what my post originally meant. "I would not put Vick at RB. I would put Vick at Wide Receiver if ANYTHING. Like Reggie Bush is at WR 75% of the game (yes even though he is LISTED at RB)." Is that better?
