Vick may come to our Division... Should we be worried?

Vick may possibly either go to the Seahawks (who've expressed a little interest) or 49ers (Who've publicly said no way)... Should we be worried? Will he give our rivals the advantage necessary to win given our run defense or will he be irrelevant to the bigger issue?

Michael Vick to the Seahawks?

The rumors are flying around about where Michael Vick will play next season and the Seahawks have even been mentioned as a possible home for Vick since Jim Mora was his head coach in Atlanta. Coach Mora did not talk about Vick during today's Seahawks practice, but quarterback Matt Hasselbeck did share some thoughts on Vick. When asked if Vick deserves another shot in the league, Hasselbeck said, "I've been getting that question a lot, without knowing everything about the situation, there's just so much about it, it's hard to keep up with everything, but it seems like he paid a pretty severe penalty and I definitely believe in second chances for people. Again, I'm not an expert on the subject, but that would be my initial gut reaction." Hasselbeck was then asked if he would welcome Vick on a team he played on, "He was always great to me, every time I hung out with him or met him or was around him, he was great to be around." So What do you think? Would you want Michael Vick to come and play for the Seahawks? Share your thoughts.

I can picture Vick as a 49er or a Ram

Not to say he wouldn’t be effective as a QB for the Seabags but we all already know what Hasselbeck can do, and they have a very capable backup in Seneca Wallace. If he became the Seachickens starting QB and can still reach his old speed I guarantee he could rack up more rushing yards than the likes of Julius Jones or TJ Duckett though. xD

Is Vick an upgrade over Seneca Wallace?

I bet the Seahags would stick with Wallace.

+1

Wallace knows their system and oh yea, he hasn’t been to prison for two years not playing football at all.

49ers make the most sense

but I doubt he would be that much better than anything they have right now. I still think they have something in Alex Smith and even with Vick on the roster I would think Smith has the most talent at the position. Even with Smith at QB I don’t think they have a strong season at the position.
So in other words if Vick came to the division we should not be worried as he won’t be the same player he was and we are not the same team that faced him a few years ago and gave up those big runs.

Singletary would probably be good fit for Vick

Not so sure about the other way around.

On the other hand, SF has a very well established fanbase, so they probably wouldn’t be as concerned about alienating themselves from a portion of their fans as a smaller market team such as the Cards would be.

Vick won't go to San Fran

That city is way too P.E.T.A. friendly. Especially with the niners trying to get a new stadium right now.

I could see him playing for the Rams. They need all the help they can get. Either way I wouldn’t worry about it. He’s been away for 2 years and I’m sure Adrian Wilson would be happy to remind him what the NFL is all about.

Looks like Vick isn't coming to NFC West.

Mike Sando is reporting that NFC West teams have no interest.

my money is on the Vikes

If I were Vick, I’d go to the UFL and tell the Vikings to keep a close eye me. He’d tear up the UFL and by midseason when the Vikes are tired of watching Sage and Tavaris stink it up, they’ll bring in Vick for the stretch run. That’s the one team that might not ask him to throw the ball ever. Just hand off to AP or bootleg outside and take off.

I've heard a very good argument to make him the QB2 for the Redskins

It gives them some options and forces Campbell to either step up or move to the side.

Wouldn't care if he did

For starters he was a horrible QB before he had to go to Camp Kick-a-rock. Everyone remembers his scrambling and athleticism, but people have seemed to forget his interceptions and horrible completion percentage. It’s like remembering an ex for her body and forgetting she was a possessive, psychotic mess with emotional problems.

He may make a decent “athlete,” but now he is two years older and there are younger and faster guys out there.
