Michael Vick to Back Vince Young?

PrintMichael Vick as a Tennessee Titan you say? No way! Wait a minute before turning away.
Think about it...Vince Young has a similar style as Vick, they both make plays when their originally planned plays have already run back to the coaching staff for more thought. I think Michael Vick fronting or backing for Vince Young sounds far better for Michael Vick's professional interests too. The benefits for the Titans would be multiple...not to mention a more mobile threat as QB. Even the Philadelphia Eagles...who don't really like using Vick in the first place because it seems to upset Donovan McNabb.Stats by Position from Yahoo!
As far as Quarterback ratings go, Vick is ahead of Kurt Warner, Eli Manning, Vince Young, and Kerri Collins. He's only a little behind the likes of Brady, Donovan McNabb, Tony Romo, Matt Shaub, and Peyton Manning. Yes, quarterback ratings only tell part of the big picture, but even so, we all know Vick can run for positive yardage during busted passing plays, and in the last four games
Check out his stats in December thus far...Vick's December Stats.
He plays great in away games on turf at night, and as a sub. A quick note...He plays good when the weather is hot (above 80). The real question is...which team/s want to run the kind of fast-scoring, quick-thinking, multifaceted offense that Michael Vick is capable of running with authority.

Tiger?
Tiger gets laid while Vick gets played/paid. LOL Well, at least the Tiger Titan Pit may make half -time worth staying in your seat for again! LOL

Maybe we can get stallsworth too….Wont he be available then?

Absolutely not.
Just because they are similar, doesn’t mean he would be a good fit.
Vick should go to either Miami, Cleveland (Under Holmgren if it happens) (Vick + Cribbs would be a nice duo), Rams, Raiders, Panthers (Deangelo +J.Stewart + S.Smith + Vick? wow.)

Agree
Even when VY was in college, I grew tired of the Vick comparisons, because they’re really not that much alike when you look at them closely. It seemed to be based on the fact that they are both dual threat quarterbacks and they are both black, and that’s it.

No Way
Isn’t that like wearing the same colored pants and shirt as opposed to two COMPLIMENTING colors?
I dont think Vick could run Heimerdinger's offense
His play has been vastly overrated in Philly. He’ll be 32.

Like I said
I’ll piss on that stadium myself if we sign Vick. I’m not asking anyone else to agree with that, just being honest with you.

nope. standing outside the east ticket gate.

that's kinda weak
I’m sure the stadium has been pissed on many a time by fans who simply had to go. You should at least find a way to piss on a bench on the field or something. Maybe even in Vick’s wheaties.
no way...
first off vick wants to be a starter next year. also he isnt getting any younger. also there are other teams that will offer him bigger salaries and a starting job after this year. i think carolina could be an excellent fit for him.

2 problems with this scenario....
1. Philly is not going to let Vick go. The way they switch out him & McNabb is genius (IMO) And as long as it keeps working, well you know they’re going to stick with it. 2. It seems to me that Vick still has some bagage that he has yet to work out (being an ex-con and all), so that would scare me about signing him. Vince appears to finally have his head on straight, but I don’t think we want to go through that again so soon.

Are you guys kidding me? Are we talking about the same Vick?
He sucks! He’s got 13 pass attempts in 3 years and you want him to play QB in the NFL? He’s only averaging 4.4 yards per carry when he runs?
WTF is genius or amazing about that?
Oh, and the only things similar about VY and Vick are that they run and they’re black. Everything else is worlds away!

Go back and look at the film from Sunday nights game against the Giants.
You’ll see what we’re talking about.
by titansfan4ever on Dec 18, 2009 9:34 AM CST up reply actions
maybe in Madden
but we would do better signing Chad Pennington, or Rex Grossman at back-up. btw Two quarterbacks in wildcat would be stupid, seeing Vince Young go out for a pass or a draw play would be silly.
