On today's show, we discussed the possible landing spots for Michael Vick should he be reinstated by Roger Goodell. Here is a short list that I came up with:
San Francisco – they haven’t had a legitimate quarterback there since Jeff Garcia left after the 2003 season. Since then, the 49ers have trotted out Trent Dilfer, Alex Smith, Cody Pickett, Tim Rattay, Shaun Hill, Chris Weinke, JT O’Sullivan (eat your heart out Moses Moreno!). Now the team is deciding between two terrible options in Hill, or the bustilicious Smith to be the full-time starter. Yikes.
Seattle – Sticking with the pathetic NFC West, Seattle head coach Jim Mora Jr. has a lot of familiarity with Vick from his time in Atlanta. By all indications, the two had a pretty solid coach-player relationship. Matt Hasselbeck (soon-to-be 34) is on the downside of his career and the Seahawks don’t have much else going on at that position.
Oakland - I guess anything is possible with the erratic Al Davis. The Raiders don't seem to be fully behind former #1 pick JaMarcus Russell, and some have questioned his work ethic. When you're as bad as the Raiders have been lately, it could be worth rolling the dice.
Jacksonville – wouldn’t this be hilarious? The team committed $60 million to David Garrard, only to see him fall on his face in 2008 (13 INT, 81.7 QB rating). Maybe they could run a few trick formations with Vick and Maurice Jones-Drew?
Cincinnati – dude’s an ex-con. It’s a match made in heaven.

Miami. If they tolerate Ricky, they'll tolerate Mike V. Put him in for an occassional Wildcat, return some kicks, party in south beach.
ReplyDeleteI would totally agree, but they just used a 2nd round pick on Pat White to come in and do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteHowever, at this point I'm not willing to rule any team out.
