Mike Vick back in a dome... (1 Viewer)

[Traders2001]

The Rams have "genuine interest" in suspended Falcons QB Michael Vick, according to Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post.

"If (commissioner Roger Goodell) reinstates him, look for (the Rams) to actively pursue him," Lombardi writes. "It makes sense, a new coach with an older quarterback (Marc Bulger) who hasn’t played well. Playing in a dome on carpet would highlight Vick’s speed and athleticism." The Rams have denied it and their ownership situation is in flux, but Lombardi says the team has done its due diligence on Vick. With their long-term quarterback situation up in the air, Vick could be a possibility to succeed Bulger.

Have the Falcons even outright released him yet? Nobody is showing interest in him until they can sign him to their OWN contract.

This article should be a PR nightmare for the Rams. They are about to earn their paycheck

I live in the St. Louis area and have been a Rams supporter through good times and bad since they moved here. There have been VERY good times and there have VERY been bad times as a fan and sometimes I have sworn never to watch the team again because of a bad coaching descion or a bad GM move (just being a normal overreacting fan) but this is a promise, if the Rams would sign Michael Vick to any kind of a contract I will throw in the towel of being a fan and cheer against them every week no matter who they are playing against. That, IMO, would be a slap in the face to every fan that is buying a ticket, jersey, hat or just turnign on the tv to cheer for their local team.

You better think about the PR outlook here for the team. It's not like people are knocking down the downs to buy tickets now and you want to bring in maybe the most unmarketable player in league history at this time.

It wouldn't be a very smart move

Having Mike Vick on the team is worse than having Leonard Little?

And if they had signed Ray Lewis ......................Vick paid is due ,and there is no reason why he should not get a chance to earn a living at what he does best ( Scrambling with the football and making DC go crazy ).And what of he took this Rams teams to the playoffs , then what would you say .

I wouldn't care. I would be cheering for their opponent like I said earlier.

Are you serious?There is a big difference.

The difference is the Little made a mistake. He was driving drunk one night and killed someone. It was a horrible accident.

Mike Vick showed no remorce about his situation at all and was in good conscience of what he was doing the whole time.

I'd say their was a huge difference between the two

Yeah Little deprived a couple of small children of their mother.Vick was brutal to his animals.

It's a messed up world when what Vick did is somehow worse than what Little did. Or that anyone would consider either of their actions a "mistake".

Vick has paid whatever debt he owes society in spades, something Little has never done.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Vick enthusiast, but a little logical consistency would be nice in the discussion.

Big Ram fan here, but you are wrong.. Little did it twice, check that, got caught twice, one of which killed a woman, he is a turd of a human being..... IF you drink and get behind the wheel of a car, and kill someone, that is NO ACCIDENT, http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nf...e-charged_x.htm

After he drove drunk and killed a human being he was arrested again in 2004 for DD. How about that remorce?

What the past four posters said.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

I believe Blank stated other day that the Falcons still own Vick's rights. Confusing on Blanks personal/business ethics. Says he won't be a Falcon but still would like to see him get another chance with someone else. Basically not sure what he thinks he'll get for Vick and why he would think any team would give up anything for a guy who's been out of the league for years. Wants Vick banished from Falcons organization but still wants to get something for him.. Seems pretty cold/cut throat/ballsy.

 

[eefflrat]

I can't believe how ignorant fans are... Little killed somebody, period...Drunk driving is no mistake....

just like the Ram fans got over the leanoard little thing they would get over the vick thing if signed.

What i don't understand is why everyone gives vick such a hard time...The man paid more for his crime than anyone of us would ever had to have paid. Leave the guy alone, he doesn't have to have remorse for what he did, don't you think he's sorry that he lost everything he had. what's he supposed to do? The man has a right to earn money doing what he does best, and not only that when he earns that money he can pay off the debt that has now been put into bankruptcy. How many of you idiots out there that claimed bankruptcy ever wanted to pay that debt off??? He will if he gets a chance to play, and that's fine by me because i am tired of footing the bill for all the abusers of the system out there...Oh, this is not a rant, it's a reaction. to stupidity

Did anyone mention that it wasnt so much an accident yet? That he was caught driving drunk again? Yes? No?

Couldn't agree more. There is a bizarre double-standard when it comes to Vick that I just cant figure out. Little KILLED someone. Travis Henry had kids with TEN different women - and none of those children will ever really know what its like to have a father in their lives. There are so many heinous acts perpetrated by NFL players - how does the media and the sports world decide that some acts are more heinous than another? I love animals too and had a dog throughout my childhood, and I honestly dont get why Vicks crime is still so much more offensive than so many other guys currently playing in the NFL given his severe punishment and sentencing.

Vick being brutal to his animals is not why he was in jail. He was in jail for the gambling across state lines.

If Jax signed Vick I would take the same stance as Blackjacks, except that I just wouldn't watch any of his games (I won't watch any no matter where he signs.) I'm not suggesting that he shouldn't allowed the chance to play now that he's done his time, just that I won't let one of my Sundays get ruined by having to see him play.

100% correct.But, if we are comparing Little to Vick, that seems like the relevant wrongdoing that people find reprehensible in Vick's actions. At least I haven't heard from too many folks offended by the gambling aspect. It's possible though I guess.

Fact is if Vick comes back and plays at a high level fans will forgive and embrace him once again. What he did was ignorant and ugly, but doesn't compare to some past and current players actions.

He doesn't have a "right" to play in the NFL again, but if the talent remains and he has satisfied his legal obligations, I don't see why a team wouldn't take a chance on him.

A questionable statement at that. Could put "bad" in front and I'd agree more concerning how he's ran his franchise until last year. Blank put all his eggs in one basket (Vick) with his franchise to see it fail miserably even after he knew Vick had suspect things going on in his life. Now has the balls to think he can get something of value for Vick. He also went after Vick's money and basically brought the guy down more than he already was. And there's no way with age/lack being in game that Vick will be able to pay what he owes. His own fault but I put blame on Blanks bad sense of judgement not only with Vick but Petrino among others. I know the NFL is cut throat and why he'd want his due $$ back from Vick but to sit and hold him thinking he's going to get something blows my mind. If Matt Ryan wouldn't have preformed we'd be talking about how horrible the Falcons/Blank is now but he caught lightning in a bottle so I'll give him credit.

I do agree with you on rooting for Vick. Personally always liked the guy as a player and hopes he returns to the NFL & contributes.

I am a Falcon fan but I don't see how anyone can side with Blank over Vick. When it all started, Blank asked Vick about it and Vick lied to his face so the team stood behind him. This put a lot of egg on their face when it came out Vick was a liar. And how is going after a signing bonus bringing down more? Why should Vick keep money that seems to be a clear violation of his contract by committing a felony?

Vick made a lot of money for the Falcons but they paid him a lot. When you are paid to be the face of the team and you end up doing something so stupid that it creates a media circus and bad publicity, you don't deserve to keep all of your signing bonus. Vick brought himself down and saying Blank brought him down more is ridiculous.

The only difference between Vick and Little is that the Media turned the Vick saga into a witch-hunt whereas the Little incident received little press. Both acts were reprehensible. What people fail to realize is that if Little played QB and Vick played DE then the media backlash could have easily been switched.

No. The difference in what each of them actually did is massive. Little's behaviors are far, far worse than Vick's.Little should still be behind bars.

The day the NFL reinstates that POS Vick is the day I quit paying attention to any NFL team or game. Period.

I doubt it.

You better think about the PR outlook here for the team. It's not like people are knocking down the downs to buy tickets now and you want to bring in maybe the most unmarketable player in league history at this time.It wouldn't be a very smart move

I would bet you anything attendance for the games would go up if they sign Vick. People love a circus.I know if my team signed him i'd go to more games then i do now.I can't wait to see Vick back in the NFL, and almost everyone i know feels the same way. He's more then paid what most have who have done the same thing as him. He was a patsy used to make an example of.God Bless Mike Vick, we love you buddy.

I live in the St. Louis area and have been a Rams supporter through good times and bad since they moved here. There have been VERY good times and there have VERY been bad times as a fan and sometimes I have sworn never to watch the team again because of a bad coaching descion or a bad GM move (just being a normal overreacting fan) but this is a promise, if the Rams would sign Michael Vick to any kind of a contract I will throw in the towel of being a fan and cheer against them every week no matter who they are playing against. That, IMO, would be a slap in the face to every fan that is buying a ticket, jersey, hat or just turnign on the tv to cheer for their local team.

Having Mike Vick on the team is worse than having Leonard Little?

Are you serious?There is a big difference.

The difference is the Little made a mistake. He was driving drunk one night and killed someone. It was a horrible accident.

Mike Vick showed no remorce about his situation at all and was in good conscience of what he was doing the whole time.

I'd say their was a huge difference between the two

Is that you James Harrison?

From a personal level, sure I agree. Professionally, he is definitely a seat filler. Yeah maybe people won't be buying Vick jerseys and such but he was exciting to watch-as exciting as any player in the NFL. THAT is why he's getting a 2nd chance.And the personal stuff, Vick wasn't a bad guy outside of the dog stuff. There will be people that jump on the 2nd chance bandwagon.I'm a doglover and my wishes won't be served here so I'm just trying to be realistic instead.

Why is it that anytime, anywhere, there's a mention of Vick, I can guarantee that every time the Vick backers will immediately hide behind Leonard Little?

I'm seriously asking --- do you guys read it somewhere and then just keep fwd'ing it on like a virus encrusted chain e-mail?

What does Michael Vick have to do with Leonard Little?

TrollAnyways, Vick wasn't a good QB to begin with. He is fast, and can throw a mile but he can't hit the broad side of a barn. He's a good athlete, but not a good QB. It wasn't all that long ago everybody was talking about how bad the Falcon WRs were, then Joey Freakin' Harrington comes in and they look good. Then they draft a QB and that ROOKIE makes them look great. I'm thinking it wasn't the WRs fault for the passing numbers and the drops. I'm thinking two years off isn't going to make him any more accurate. I think he'll make a good kick returner when he comes back.

I was going to throw J. Stevens under that bus myself just to be different.

Go look at the falcons record with and without Vick during the years he played. He was a winner. He made a horrendous team a playoff contender.

You do realize that Leonard Little plays for the Rams, killed a woman while he was a Ram and the thread is about Vick possibly becoming a Ram?I am no Vick backer by any means, but in this thread where Rams fans are discussing turning their back on the team if Vick signs, Little is very germane to the conversation.

i'll answer for myself. vick killed some doggies. & didn't/doesn't have any remorse about it. he is somehow considered to be a much worse human being/criminal than little, who killed an innocent woman.

Yeah, as I alluded to, I've heard the Leonard Little story about 100x.Every time some Vick backer tries to dodge the issue and rationalize what a sack of crap their hero is.Hey, what about Hitler --- how can you guys badmouth Vick and be cool with what Hitler did?GOTCHA, hypocrites!!!

wtf are you talking about? i'm not a vick backer, vick is a piece of #### who thought he was above the law. but i find it ridiculous that he's vilified as much as he is. dude went to prison. lost nearly everything, lost out on watching his kids grow up, etc, etc. little killed a woman, spent less time in jail, & is happily making a living in the nfl. who's the hypocrite?
