Mike Vick to the Niners?

I wanted to pose an open question -- I know that the Niners have come out and stated that there is no possibility of them pursuing Vick, but was that the right move? Should the Niners consider signing him? Even if he's still the same player that he was when he went to jail, would signing him be a publicity nightmare that would make it not worth the effort?

Post any thoughts you might have on the subject

  1. No. At least not as a QB. He isnt as good a QB as the ones we have right now, he has been out of the game too long and I do not like his attitude. I think he would be subtraction by addition, I also think he is going to try to do too much on the field in order to prove he is the same player he once was, which wasn't the great to begin with, and he will value statistics over team success.

  2. I agree with Kevin, Vick isn't a QB. He'd be much more successful in another position, plus watching him in Atlanta I think that he may lack the leadership that a team expects in its QB. Plus the Niners have to consider all of the bad press that is associated with Vick -- no one likes a puppy abuser.

  3. I think it was a mistake to rule him out so completely and publicly, but that was also probably a pr move.

    I wouldn't bring him in as a QB, necessarily, but I'd sure go to any workout he held and evaluate his talent.

  4. I dont think it was a mistake. You dont want all the talk on the radio shows here. Singletary obviously didn't want to answer questions about him so they said they have zero interest and he will never be a niner. I dont think that means they wont take a look at him, they just want the focus to be on the 2009 49ers and not on future players that may, or may not, even be available on the market. Don't forget, Atlanta still owns his rights and if he is reinstated he does have be acquired from them, I don't imagine they will be asking for much, but I dont think he is even worth a late round draft pick.

  5. Let's not forget that he hits puppies.. That's bad - no one likes a puppy hitter, it's almost as bad as being a child or wife beater

  6. Let us also not forget he paid his debt to society and could actually be reformed. Give the guy a second chance, not that what he did is excusable, but he deserves to show he truly is remorseful and sorry for what he did.

  7. Your point is a good one. I'm ovbviously not as up to date on what's going on with the talk shows in the bay area. So that might have been a good move.

    I think that Atlanta's just going to cut him and end the relationship.
