NFL 2009 Regular Season

[Kraznaya]

I think Vick will turn out to be a good RB at the least.

That article is completely misleading, Vick is good at playing a QB who runs, not a HB (as RB implies). He runs well in space benefiting from the very real threat of him possibly threating, not between the tackles where he will just get killed.

 

[Zack]

He should be a kick/punt returner, he could be like a poor man's Devin Hester.

 

[Kraznaya]

I doubt he can still run a sub 4.4 40 after prison.

 

[Zack]

I bet he still has moves. Josh Cribbs isn't very fast, but he's a great returner.

 

[Azale]

Adam Jones was a terrible returner last year after having a year off, and he used to be gamechanging at the spot. I wouldn't count on Vick being much better.

 

[Zack]

Not right away, but in some time he could be all right.

 

[GoodGame]

But why not make him a straight RB? EDIT: He has 2 years to improve, BTW.

 

[Kraznaya]

He doesn't have the build of a RB, he can't take the hits, etc etc

 

[Azale]

Compare him to a QB-turned-RB like Michael Robinson. Robinson has several inches and more than few pounds on Vick, who would be knocked around.

Slot receiver/qb/hb on gimmick plays is basically what you get from Vick at this point. Maybe he can crack the top 3 QB depth, but I doubt it. Reid is not going to let Vick pass up AJ Feeley for third.

The soap opera isn't over yet...

Are all football journalists in love with Brett Favre or something? Surely it can't be his play that is causing all this hype, 'cause out of his last 4 seasons, only one was actually a good season. Is Brett Favre even newsworthy anymore?

 

[Kraznaya]

Bulger out for 2 weeks, so much for the optimism of training camp with the passing game completely gone...

Yes. That really sucks. With both Avery and Bulger unable to play/practice the Rams passing game is sure to be very, very rusty at the start of the season. Look for Jackson and Gado to get a lot of runs I guess...

Dont' you realize that merely naming the QB Who Must Not Be Named channels more more dark energy into him, giving him more life?

 

[holy king]

said qb is about to unretire btw...

personally, i love the drama.

The only thing I like about it is watching Wilbon blow up over it on PTI. Otherwise, it makes my stomach turn in putrid turny knots

EDIT: Omg Brett Favre has donned the red jersey and is now entering the practice field. He just loves football so much.

 

[pawpaw]

As a Vikings fan I have to find a way to cheer the Vikes to a 10-6 record and playoffs but jeer Favre to a terriable season at the same time. A fine line.

 

[Kraznaya]

Poor Sage Rosenfels

 

[Azale]

Sage Rosencoptered his way out of possibly starting in Houston, the guy turns the ball over MORE than Favre. I don't feel very sorry for him.
