Michael Vick Deserving Of Another Shot? Maybe in Arena Football...

Michael Vick is a name that has not been mentioned much about a comeback, unlike another quarterback we heard a lot about recently. The question and name of this game is called "Do we give him another shot and if so which team will he go to?"

Answer: None in the NFL.

My personal opinion of the Vick situation is very touchy because I am an animal lover. However, he was a great athlete and probably on his way to a Hall of Fame career. Maybe not for his passing but with his feet. Obviously, his accuracy and interceptions made his numbers a little bit staggering but there was no denying the fact that, if healthy, he could run for over 1000 yards a season over and over again.

This NFL season is starting without him and nobody in the NFL is missing him, expect for maybe the Falcons because lets face it without him there is no QB on that roster proven yet. Matt Ryan, Chris Redman and D.J. Shockley on their depth chart after cutting the not-so-good Joey Harrington. If Vick were to try and make a comeback in the NFL he would have to prove himself on either special teams or be a team's third QB to get back in the swing of things and I do not see a man with his pride after being a starter and star for so long fighting for the third spot on the team.

My opinion to Vick would be to take what you can get. If you get out of your current situation and have people approach you about playing again, then take it. CFL, AFL, whatever. I feel that Michael Vick should follow what Ocho Cinco said he would do and would fit great with any Arena Football team in the country because of the type of plays they run. It is a lot of passing and scrambling. For the man who essentially rewrote the book on the mobile quarterback position that could fit nicely. Columbus Destroyers and Kansas City Brigade could use some help since they both finished 3-13 last year. It may come with a great deal of criticism, but there is no denying that the man puts fans in the stands and for a least those few first weeks there will be so much press hype around your club that people who had never even heard of the Arena Football league will know your name. I am not making a push for any team to sign the man that did what he did to those dogs, but I am saying that if a team did sign him the business end of it would be all to sweet.
