Free Mike Vick

Th rumors are that the Cowboys might be interested in Michael Vick, and you're goddam right I want him. He's paid his debt to society; plus, he's never been any kind of "clubhouse killer" the Cowboys haven't minded grabbing throughout the years. Unless puppies start playing for the Cowboys I doubt we'll ever hear a peep from him outta the locker room. Has anyone ever even heard Michael Vick speak? Nyet.

BUT!!

I don't want him at qb. Not because I don't think he could be a good quarterback, but that I think he's wasted there. Think about it - as a qb, by definition his job is to get the ball to SOMEBODY ELSE. He either turns back and hands it someone with less talent, or drops back and throws it to somebody with less talent. Yeah every once in a while he'll break outta the pocket, but that's rare by design. Wouldn't you be scared shitless if on every play you knew that the ball might END UP in Vick's hands instead of BEGIN in Vick's hands?

Also, him being qb means nobody has to really cover him. Put him as some combination rb/wr, and I promise you there will be 2 people dogging him the whole time. Now you've gone to your best player using up at least TWO players on defense instead of ZERO. Defenses would be in a sheer panic looking for him on every play. To me this is a fucking no-brainer. Vick is too good to be a qb; let Tony fucking Homo hand the ball off to people.
