Adrian Peterson believes Vick would make the Vikings a playoff team. Is he right?

Adrian Peterson thinks Michael Vick would make Vikings a playoff team - CBSSports.com

I think the Vikings would be a good fit for Vick, if he can stay healthy.

 

[JohnRandle]

He would be a good fit, but can he last a whole season?
If he could play two whole seasons, I would like the idea.

 

[NinerSickness]

AP's probably right. Vick is the single most overrated QB in modern times, but he's still in a whole other universe of QB play over the likes of Josh Freeman & Christian Ponder.

 

[Naughtymax]

They'd have a hell of a Read Option offense for the 9 games Vick was healthy enough to be on the field...

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Good Luck with Vick staying healthy, no way that's happening.

 

[JDM]

Yeah, probably. AD's that good, and they are awful at QB.

 

[RoboticDreams]

AD is a great RB but not an elite thinker. He also said and I quote, "Mike Vick would intently make the vikings a playoff team!"

Stick to running the rock.

 

[mcnabb7542]

As long as he's not in Philly anymore, I think he would be a fantastic fit in Viking Country...

If this happens, there will be at least 1 less Viking fan. I will never root for a piece of shit like Vick.

 

[JDM]

Vick's not even a bad guy...

Vick's not even a bad guy...

Because electrocuting dogs is an honorable thing. Those rotten dogs!

 

[JDM]

There isn't even proof he actually directly did it past guys throwing him under the bus to save their own asses. But no, I don't think dogfighting makes you that terrible of a person when it was part of your culture your whole life.

I have a bigger problem with the way he treated his "underperforming" dogs. He went to prison for it, so I'm sure some evidence supported the guys throwing him under the bus.

 

[JDM]

The interstate gambling charge alone was enough to put him in jail for far longer than he went.

There is not a single dog that was anything but an unfixable beast. I'm not saying they deserved torture, but that is what they were. If Vick had never done a thing, or financed it, or any of it, their lives would have been exactly the same.

 

[RoboticDreams]

JDM, not even you can make an argument that what he did wasn't wrong. I'm not even an animal person but I felt sick when I found out what he was doing to those dogs.

I don't have a problem with the culture he grew up around, but killing dogs that aren't killing machines is horrible.

 

[JDM]

Of course it was wrong. I'm disputing the claim that it makes him some terrible person.


And for the record they all needed put down. What's putting down a few of them himself?

You're a riot. Hate Johnny Football, but defend both Icognito and Vick for their actions.

 

[JDM]

Johnny football has 0 chances in a billion of becoming a viable starter.


There is no comparison between saying a player has no talent and defending their actions that are seriously overreacted to.

Modern times? Uh...I'll take that as your opinion only. Vick was overrated, but not the most in modern times he pretty much put the Falcons on the national NFL stage by himself...prior to him I don't believe they had ever been on prime time TV, local games were always blacked out. His signature win was the playoff game @ Lambeau.

 

[cdumler7]

I actually think if Vick could stay healthy for a season he would definitely be a force in Minnesota. This is why I keep saying that of all the teams in the 1st 10 picks of the draft Minnesota might be the one place I could see Manziel having success. No quarterback going there is the focal point of the team. AP just needs a serviceable quarterback who can make teams have to stay honest. Plus there are actually some very good weapons with Patterson, Jennings, and Rudolph for him. The OL really isn't that bad either.
