Just wanted to see how you dynasty league owners are coping with the recent news. I've never owned "Mad Dog" Vick in any league.

Took over a dynasty team a few months ago with Vick on the roster. I dropped him last week and added Jason Snelling off the waiver wire to take his roster spot. My first thoughts were to ride out the storm.......but it's looking worse everyday. Probably 1 year in jail followed by another year suspended from the league. No thanks....I'll use the roster spot for another player.

 
Mods, please merge this thread with the other one, thanks. Awhile ago there was a slow down at the site and I submitted the poll twice by accident.

 
No one has dropped him in my 6 dynasty leagues. I guess they are still shell shocked. I guess they are making sure he is sent up the river, lol.

Complete waste of a roster spot at this point. If he ever comes back and you still want him, he's sure to be available

Which "you" are you talking about? Of my three dynasty leagues, I'd bet 30 of the other 35 owners are on FBG. Are you talking to me or one of them?
 
I must have unparalleled foresight, as I traded him away last season... Fork, meet Vick.

 
I owned Vick in one league last year (inherited him - orphaned team). When news became clear enough to me that he was involved, but still a lot of folks were holding out hope he'd wiggle out of responsibility for anything, I offered him in an email to the league to the highest bidder. I did get 3 offers, and the best was Muhsin Muhammad. A week or two later I swapped Muhsin for Leftwich. So, Vick has become Leftwich. We'll see how that works out. It beats nothing... I hope.

Had no one offered anything, I would have released him that week and said so on this board before the trade.

I dropped him in one dynasty league, and have seen him dropped in two others. I don't care about the moral issues--I don't mind winning with BAL DEF, for example. I don't see how you can justify wasting a roster spot on the guy for two years in the hopes that he beats the odds and returns to a mid-range QB1. Frankly, somebody like J.P. Losman has a lot more upside.

 
i got him in 5 and im HOLDIN,

i recently traded a 4th rounder for him to sit behind Brees and Schaub.

I just drafted him in my other dynasty too high to cut him.

Kinda like having Barry Sanders long time ago. People held him on there roster 3 years after he quit hoping he would come back and be elite again. Same approach im doing with Vick, yeah i know his value is SHOT, but its also in the beholder. No way would i cut him ONLY to have someone with a rebuilding team or roster spae to pick him up and IR him. This guy was a top 6 qb in my dynasty year in and out.

Will he come back, i REALLY do believe so...WHEN? is anyones guess.

I traded a 4th and M.Hicks (a cut guy to make room for Vick) for Vick and seeing where i had extra picks in the top 3 rounds why not?

this one of the teams with him on it.

Brees, Drew NOS QB

Schaub, Matt HOU QB

Vick, Michael ATL QB

Brown, Chris TEN RB

Calhoun, Brian DET RB

Green, Ahman HOU RB

Henry, Chris TEN RB

Henry, Travis DEN RB

McAllister, Deuce NOS RB

Pittman, Michael TBB RB

Watson, Kenny CIN RB

Williams, DeAngelo CAR RB

Baskett, Hank PHI WR

Battle, Arnaz SFO WR

Bowe, Dwayne KCC WR

Colston, Marques NOS WR

Davis, Craig SDC WR

Driver, Donald GBP WR

Johnson, Calvin DET WR

Jones, Jacoby HOU WR

Williams, Roydell TEN WR

Lewis, Marcedes JAC TE

Shockey, Jeremy NYG TE

Kaeding, Nate SDC PK

Chargers, San Diego SDC Def

Vikings, Minnesota MIN Def

He's worth it to me as a QB3 bench dead roster guy. I only wish others would drop him in my leagues. I would be all over him for some scrub.

what could i pick up??? Trent Edwards? A Feeley? L.Moore, K.mccardell. Dillon, ABryany RICKY WILLIAMS (ump, he was held even during his suspension)

OK I can understand the HATE for the guy...there's a cost for everything you do in life and people have to understand that. My father is in a fed prison for making a mistake after not being in trouble his whole life. He always try and appologize to me like he failed me. I told him life isnt easy, some like to think that, but we all make mistakes, and i told him im not mad at him, just do better and try live life right. Same thing goes with Vick IMO. He f'd up, he has to pay the consequence. Which he will, and IMO he will be given a 2nd chance. This isnt David Carr we talking about here, this IMO one of the top 2 talented players in the whole NFL.

But hey, people HAVE THE RIGHT TO THERE OWN OPNIONS. Some thinks he is TRASH and want nothing to do with him....well cut him. Thats fine by all means.....Others see past this. Kerry Collins, Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis and numerous other have made mistakes....NONE OF THEM are the talents of Vick...maybe Ray but even he got back in the league.

 
If your league hordes QBs, I would hold him. Also in an IDP league where there are tons of roster spots he is a "hold".

In a 12 team, 25 man roster or less, bye.

Somewhere between 300 and 400 roster spots is the transition point.

Also about 40-50 QBs rostered. At 50, keep. At 40, probably cut.

:unsure: Why is this so hard for people to understand?
Logic tells me that since Atlanta isn't dropping him immediately then they must know something the public doesn't. I'm holding him since he is my backup to Brees in one league and I have T. Jackson as my #3 in one dynasty. Hopefully Jackson will last at least until after week 4 when Brees has a bye (the Holcombe signing make me wonder). I guess I'm in the minority that thinks Vick will never play again. The league hasn't suspended him for good yet, and Atlanta hasn't cut him. I don't think you can say he'll never play again. I'm waiting a year. After the sentencing we'll really know the deal. He still holds too much value to just drop him now under the circumstances.

Owner Blank said they won't cut Vick right away because of salary cap issues, not because they ever plan to bring him back. I won't dig up the link for you, but it's out there if you want to look.
 
I've got him in a dynasty/contract/salary cap league. I've got him for this year and next year and will be responsible for his salary for both even if I cut him. If I need his roster spot I may IR him this year to snag someone from the WW then re-evaluate next year. You never know, he may roll over on some other dog fighting heavyweights and only spend a few months in Jail and then a year or so suspension. If he can come back in 2009 I can have him at the league minimum that year.

I realize the likelihood of all this is remote, but I have to pay him the next two years no matter what so it behooves me to take a wait and see on this....

I drafted him as Mr. Irrelevant in my Zealots league (53rd round? 54th? Can't remember). He's behind Derek Anderson, Marc Bulger, Kevin Kolb, and Matt Ryan.

I carried him for 3 years... traded him before the 2010 season started... along with Matt Cassel, for McNabb. :thumbup:

Full Disclosure: He never played one game for me, since our league started in 2007 (he was my 2nd round pick)... and it is a start 2QB league.

 
There wasn't a specific enough option for me to reply. I think he has several good years left, ones that will be highly advantageous for whoever owns him. However, his skills and body will decline rapidly after 3 years (just an opinion) as does everyone who starts to age. What's the mantra about RB's and age 30? I think being a QB who doesn't take as many hits will bye him some time, but just like every other runner, the physical skill set declines. Pocket QB's can last longer just because of their ability to read defenses and stay somewhat immobile.

I would use him for another year, which I suspect will be rather good, but look for a replacement and start to gather offers for his trade value.

I always fail to do so...thanks
 
I can admit when I'm wrong (dead wrong in this case). I firmly believed that, due to the heinous nature of Vick's crime, he would have a stigma on him forever and that no team in their right mind would sign him. I like my crow rare, with a glass of red.
