do you think marcus vick deserves to be drafted or a free agent in the nfl? why or why not?

I think he should get a chance at free agency. He has some issues (who doesn't). Somebody will shake things up and give him a chance. T.O. got another chance and so did R.M. Granted they are pr oven players, but you have to start somewhere.

NO.  It takes a whole team not just one good player.They need him ,they just need to protect him better.I'm a LOINS fan so i really don't care,But i do know he's the Falcons Best player.

What're his career highlights? Stinking it up in the only Super Bowl he led his team to? Being benched for Tom Brady, then cut for JP Losman, and now benched for Tony Romo? Choking in key games? Seriously....the man has nothing but slightly impressive statistics, went to the big dance all of once, and hasn't won ANYTHING. I'd love to see his play-off record, for example...

From what i know he is a solid kid 4 star athlete. He was the second best qb coming out of texas this year. I believe his name is jevan snead, he should get a chance to see what he can do now that vince young is gone. Too bad they didnt get my boy Matt Stafford.

here are my vview on things:\nI'm reading through some of the comments about this situation "I hope it's not serious", "gee that's too bad, we hope he'll be all right"..."he's a great player, hope he can still play"... but I can't help thinking "what a waste."\n\nHow many of us would love to be living a dream, to be a pro football player, making millions? This kid is already on record as the youngest QB ever to win a Superbowl, he's got his whole life and career in front of him, and he doesn't care to protect all that he has to live for?\n\nOne article I read mentions how players past and present, as well as his coach have appealed to him to reconsider his celebration of freedom in not having to wear a helmet. Fellow Americans presumably equally in support of "freedom" yet were also able to consider what he potentially had to lose if he should meet in an accident.\n\nAnd here we are. The article I read said "injuries do not appear life-threatening." Will he play again? Sheesh, we are not out of the woods of whether he'll have a sound mind again, let alone make critical decisions with a blitzing linebacker zeroing in on him.\n\nAs a fan, this player attitude has always bugged me. The discussion issue to which I'm referring is whether athletes, paid by fans, should have some obligation to the fans. Ticket prices go up when big name players are signed, and if they are injured - especially preventable injuries - why shouldn't ticket prices go down and let insurance pay their salary, or refuse it if they insist on taking unnecessary risks?\n\nCase in point - at the beginning of this last NHL season, Toronto Maple Leaf captain Mats Sundin gets hit in the eye. He refuses to wear facial protection, and he's out for the first month. Duh.\n\nLike everyone else in the sports world, I join in wishing Big Ben a full recovery. I hope we get to see him continue what many are now confident must be a hall of fame career. Do I feel sorry for him? Sure...but, for crying out loud, at what point do we hold people accountable for taking unnecessary risks? Wearing a helmet might have rendered this a great story about how he had the accident yet was ok.\n\nThis may not be a popular position, but heck, don't we as parents get upset with our 7 year olds for playing near the stairs or not looking both ways before crossing the street? If we expect kids to make smarter decisions in the interest of their own safety, why is it so easy to make excuses for "adults"?

no Vick has a tiny bit of talent and Owens of has none. \n\nBUT yes they are two utterly worthless scumbags and I hope they are never together cause ESPN would be all over it for a week

Not this year\n\nMichael Vick will still have problems at QB, which should lead to Matt Schaub taking over and showing why he should start each game.  Then, shift Vick to RB and split time with Warrick Dunn.  This will lead to Duckett moving to fullback.  This backfield will be strongest in this configuration.  Also, this will allow Michael jenkins and Roddy White to get more chances at catching the ball as well as open up Alge Crumpler for easier passes.\n\nDeAngelo Hall and Keith Brooking will be the foundation for a improving defense, but they need to address the defensive front line to hinder their opponent's run game.

I think the Titans should release McNair to free up some cap space. With the extra cash they should sign a cheaper veteran quarterback to teach Young and also sign some solid defensive players to shore up the other side of the ball. This move would also place them in a good place for next year's free agent market.

Matt Leinart will be the first to go off the board because he has the most potential to help a team right away. Marcus Vick shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as those three. Most people are saying he won't even go in the first day (4 rounds)! While he has some potential, there's just to much downside to him. He's gotten in way to much trouble at VT and he left on bad terms so you can't expect any recommendations from the coaches there. Plus with Maurice Clarett being such a gamble and a bust last year I think it will cause even more teams to hesitate.

Sounds a little crazy, but it might just work.  Vick is an outstanding athlete, but he's a poor overall QB.  Schaub is highly thought of, and many teams were trying to trade for him on draft day.  \n\nFor more on the Falcons and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

You mean a "Marcus" Vick move?

How about LT? Just joking. I think it's Vick for sure. He needs to be a RB.

Why not?  Honestly, when I first saw they were going to make him a receiver, I knew it would'nt work.  You can't take every athlete and make them a receiver or safety or whatever.  You can't always interpret your athletic ability to a different position.  Before he started fu**** up at V Tech, I thought he had a bright future as an NFL quarterback.  With the way things are in Miami (Donte was never 100% healthy to begin with and Harrington, I won't even touch that), this could be an opportunity for him.  I wouldn't call him a boy scout, but hell he doesn't get paid to be a boy scout, he gets paid to play football and I think he has learned his lessen.

He got drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 4th round.\n\nCHECK THIS!!!!\nThe Louisville defensive end was selected in the fourth round by the Denver Broncos on Sunday after leading the nation last year with 20 sacks and 11 forced fumbles.\n\nHe also was an All-American and won the Bronko Nagurski Award, which goes to college football's best defensive player, and the Ted Hendricks Award, handed out to the nation's top defensive end.\n\nDespite those lofty credentials, Dumervil is best known as Vick's victim.\n\nVick, the troubled younger brother of Atlanta Falcons star Michael, stomped on Dumervil's left calf in the Gator Bowl. Virginia Tech cut ties with Vick four days later.\n\n"I spoke to him at the combine and he apologized," Dumervil said. "And you know I think the kid has a lot of other things that he has to deal with, and so I really just kind of moved on. Hopefully he gets his stuff together and I wish the best for him."\n\nMarcus Vick has been in plenty of trouble. He has been charged with marijuana possession, furnishing alcohol to minors, having sex with a 15-year-old girl, and reckless driving in the past. After stomping on Dumervil, he was charged with pointing a gun at some teenagers he thought insulted his girlfriend.\n\nHe also made an obscene gesture to fans at West Virginia in October and was caught driving with a suspended license in December.\n\nBut the lasting image of Marcus Vick is of him stomping on a prone Dumervil, forever linking the two.\n\n"It happened," Dumervil said. "I could have been hurt really bad. It is what it is. But I really don't think about it often. I see it on TV a lot when they're talking about Marcus Vick's situation."\n\nDumervil wasn't hurt, although he did blame a troublesome hamstring injury, which limited his workouts at the NFL combine, along with his height -- he stands just shy of 6 feet -- for sending his stock spiraling over the weekend.\n\nAfter waiting by the phone until nightfall Saturday, he got a wake-up call from the Broncos early Sunday when they chose him with the 126th overall pick.\n\n"I just kind of kept a positive mind-set," Dumervil said. "I'm just excited to get off the board early and land in Denver. I really don't feel bad no more."\n\nHe'll get the chance to make an immediate contribution. The Broncos' lack of a pass rush was exposed in the AFC championship game when Denver couldn't lay a hand on Pittsburgh passer Ben Roethlisberger.\n\nDumervil's size and skills could also make him a candidate at outside linebacker.\n\n"I'm the type of guy who will do whatever they ask me to do, but I think my position is rushing the passer," Dumervil said. "I'm a hard worker and I bring energy to the defense."

He does not perform really well with the Dolphins.  With Brad Johnson as starting QB again, they want to release him.  He was better as a Viking.

A bargain.  Baltimore gets a guy who can win immediately.  Any proven player over a pick after the second round is a bargain.  Tennessee has ruined the future of the team because Billy Volek is a free agent and he will work hard this year to boost his value but be gone since he won't backup Young.  If Volek continues to perform as he has, when can you put in Young?  So Fisher is in a horrible position and this will be his final year with the team as they will have a mediocre year in a tough division, Volek will pass a ton and trick someone out of millions in free agency and you will end up with an undertrained, rushed Young who won't have much time to "go live" during the year as the team looks to remain competitive enough not to just throw in the rookies.   So you'll have Young starting in 2007 while woefully unprepared.  This move makes no sense to me.

He will go the route of Randall Cunningham.  It is unfortunate because if Vick was able to run a college-style offense he would dominate, but that is impossible to do in the pros.  In the pros, an option QB would not last more than 6 weeks because they would take a serious beating.
