Should the Steelers sign Michael Vick?

I don't see any thing wrong with bringing Vick to camp to compete for a backup role, only contingency being he must make the roster and if he does sign him to a 1 year Vet mini contract, I dont know if he would accept those terms but that would be my terms, no signing until he makes the roster.....

 

No thanks.

 

I was wondering when you were going to chime in.

 

Am I that predictable?

 

I'll pass on Ookie Mexico.

 

I just heard this and it makes me sick. Vick is one of the biggest pieces of **** in the NFL.
I watched a show and saw the dogs and what he did to them. One of them was so TERRIFIED, he wouldn't walk anywhere. He'd just lay in the corner of the cage and COWER. He was all scarred up and it was explained that he was probably one of the dogs that the other dogs "practiced on".
Then there was a female pit bull. She was so sweet toward people, but freaked out when she saw another dog. She was also scarred up pretty bad & she didn't have any teeth. This was explained too. This dog was probably a Champion fighter- so they'd breed her with other Champion dogs as much as they could so she'd have litter after litter of pups & they'd grow up & be as Champions. They pulled out her teeth so she couldn't hurt the males they were breeding her with. She had some damage down there- so she probably can't have anymore pups. She would've likely been killed because of that. Vick also had a "Rape Rack" that he'd put his in so they could be raped and they couldn't move or stop it. Do you have a dog? Could you imagine your dog cowering? Strapped to a Rape Rack? There were more dogs- but those 2 stick out in my mind.
Hurting animals isn't a "mistake". And to do it for money?? Despicable!!!!
I just can't believe that the Steelers would consider bringing that into the organization!! Because Tomlin likes him?? Why is he still here? I really thought we were better than that. There are other backups we can get for cheap- who didn't torture animals!! What's next? How about we pick up Ray Rice?? Maybe Ray Lewis will come out of retirement & play for us. Then we'll have a dog killer, wife beater, & murderer. I love my Steelers- and I've ALWAYS been proud to say that I'm a Steelers fan. I'd be devastated if we picked him up. This just isn't the way we do things.

 

I would rather go 0-16 and hope we could win then have to watch that P.O.S in a Steeler uniform. NO!

 

Amen. He doesn't even deserve to still be alive.

 

Let me ponder on this ...Ummm don't think so

 

So I don't know if I should post this here or not- but it has to do with this:: In July the NFL ranked every back-up QB in the league- and I think some of these guys would be a good fit. I think they'd be good if they were coached the right way & in the right environment & pretty much all are better than Vick.

1) Mark Sanchez, Eagles
2) Mike Glennon, Bucs
3) Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jets
4) Garoppolo, Cheaters
5) Zach Mettenberger, Titans
6) Kirk Cousins, Redskins
7) Derek Anderson, Panthers
8) Tavaris Jackson, Seahawks
9) Drew Stanton, Cardinals
10) Ryan Mallett, Texans
11) Chase Daniel, Chiefs
12) Matt Moore, Dolphins
13) Shaun Hill, Vikings
14) Matt Hasselback, Colts
15) Christian Ponder, Raiders
16) Kellen Clemens, Chargers
17) Chad Henne, Jaguars
18) Fill-in-the-blank, Bills
19) Brandon Weeden, Cowboys
20) Austin Davis, Rams
21) Scott Tolzien, Packers
22) Bruce Gradkowski- Steelers
23) Brock Osweiler- Broncos
24) Matt Shaub, Ravens
25) T.J. Yates, Falcons
(he has potential)
26) A.J. McCarron, Bengals
27) Luke McCown, Saints
28) Ryan Nassib, Giants
29) Dan Orlovsky, Lions
30) Jimmy Clausen, Bears
31) Manziel, Browns
32) Blaine Gabbert, 49ers

 

I agree. No Way on vick and keep an eye out for someone because Grad is no Charlie Batch.

 

Agree - would love to have Mettenberger. Though I could well see someone overpaying for him, heaping unrealistic expectations on him and watching his career then plummet.

 

How about just giving Taj Boyd a chance, he is in his FIRST Steeler camp, although he has been with the team all spring, he has been trying to grasp the playbook and scheme. The first week of practice any QB is going to struggle, you have to get your groove.
As Boyd learns the playbook, and the speed of his receivers, things will start clicking by mid-camp.

As far as Boyd goes, all you have to do is look at film to see what he can do. Taj is an excellent thrower. He could have been a top 10 pick in his draft. And should have been.

Haley isnt known for simple schemes and plays is he?

 

No to Vick. Boyd doesn't seem to be turning into competition for the 3rd spot either.

I liked Shane Carden out of ECU this past draft, if he gets cut I wouldn't mind them bringing him in to see what he can do.

 

There will be too many, younger, possibly better, camp cuts coming up to choose from. Cut Landry and let Jerry Jones pick him up.
