Can some of the "experts" on this site chime in (1 Viewer)

What would you guys do about Vick given the snow storm of the century predicted tomorrow? Many of us have ridden him to our title games and don't have many options behind him. Not to mention its a sunday night game so we can't exactly wait and see.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Unless you have Peyton, Rodgers, Brady, Rivers, Brees, I would play Vick.

 

[Raskell5]

I have Vick and Brady. I will be playing Vick. Not that I'm an expert by any means

 

[jackdubl]

Didn't Superman make his home in the arctic or something? Just sayin'.

 

[Todem]

I can't believe it is even a question. He got you here...you ride him all the way. Unless you have another stud at QB as Sig suggested...which I doubt you do.

"Snow storm of the century?"

This is the worst report i've been able to find:

" Windy with snow showers evolving to a steady snow. Temps nearly steady in the low to mid 30s. Winds NNE at 20 to 30 mph. Snow accumulating 2 to 4 inches. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph"

2-4 inches throughout the day. Temp at 30 degree. A little bit of wind. Not really a "blizzard" in my book. Here is a blzzard, one of the worst in US history:

"The Great Blizzard of 1888 which brought 40-50 inches of snow to many states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. It’s said that the storm wrapped areas from the Chesapeake all the way north to Maine. Along with the heavy snow came snow drifts as high as 50ft because of 45mph winds. Because railroads were the main way of travel during this time, many people were left trapped in their home for weeks because of the horrendous weather conditions.

Conditions were so bad that 200 ships were ruined, causing 100 deaths, as well as massive flooding and fires that could not be extinguished due to the fact that many firehouses were closed. In total, over 400 people died from the storm, and many more were injured"

I guess it's not in the century though, lol.

latest forecast (from weather.com) is winter storm warning (from the nws): 8-12 inches expected, with most in the afternoon and night...and windy.

not good passing weather, but great running weather for vick.

 

[Todem]

I remember a cold snowy night in Green Bay years back and Vick took apart the Packers in a post season game.

Vick for the $$$ or bust.

 

[Project Mayhem]

I have Rodgers, but am still probably rolling with Vick

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Stick with Vick.

You'll always regret it if he blows up like we all know he can.

Even on a bad night, he can get you a TD running or passing. No way you can bench him unless you have a Top 5 alternative - and even then I'd be hesitant.

Philly must win to keep up in NFC East and push for the #2 bye. Philly scores most of their TDs via the pass or Vick's legs.

Lol, maybe the snow storm of the past few weeks, the 1000th worst of the past century.

Has anyone been watching him? He's pretty good.

I recall reading a thread last week where people suggested benching Vick versus the Giants because the matchup and weather would be bad.

 

[Kenny Powers]

I dont have any of those elite guys, but Bloom and Pasquino are making me feel a little better about rolling with Vick over Eli.

Based on most of the other posts in this thread, I dont think people in here realize how nasty the weather is supposed to be tomorrow night, as discussed here.

Worst one in my memory1 1/2 feet around here is a real pain, though and the fact that it'll be snowing all day and during the game will make it pretty much impossible to clear it so it'll matter with the footing. The winds are the big problem.

Vick has the advantage of knowing where he is going. The defense does not. Seem to think I said this last week too

Guys...if the weather is really as bad as expected and they are getting slammed right as the game is ready to start I am guessing they will not play tonight. The NFL would have blood on its hands if there was a winter storm warning and fans were killed or seriously injured trying to make it out. That said, if it is just a lot of snow I would be happy starting Vick, I rememmber last year when Brady scored 5 tds in the first half during a major snowstorm against the Titans.

I don't think they'd postpone it right as the game is ready to start. More likely they'd announce a postponement much earlier in the day - like say 2pm or so - so there would be plenty of notice and people wouldn't head out to the stadium in the first place.-QG

Fixed:Even if you have Peyton, Rodgers, Brady, Rivers, Brees, I would play Vick.

 

[Wilbur Wood]

Hmmm. Contemplating benching Vick for Tebow. I can at least wait until 4 pm for the decision.

Normal snow wouldn't give me pause to bench my MVP, however really awful weather (and wind) turn the game into a complete crapshoot. Vick could do well but it will be a complete roll of the dice.

Sorry I didn't get here sooner. In order to really put my expertise to good use, I'll need to know what other options you have at QB, your opponent's WRs, and your full scoring system. TIA

QB=Vick,E.Manning and Tebow.WR=D.Jackson,C.Johnson and M.Colston.So do you start Vick is the question?

If I were you I would just cut Vick. Last week you were worried that the Giants were going to knock him out ot the game. Please just go get another QB - it's not worth all the anxiety you seem to go through each week.

 

[smcindoe]

I remember a cold snowy night in Green Bay years back and Vick took apart the Packers in a post season game.

Not really. Vick had only 170 total yards and one TD that night. A great game in terms of doing what he needed to do to win, but nowhere near the fantasy numbers his owners would be hoping for tonight.Obviously 2003 Vick is a lot different from the 2010 model, but he wasn't as good in Green Bay as people seem to remember.

your full scoring system=6 points per TD pass, the rest is the same.
