Mike Vick..

So the Iggles just named Foles the starter for the remainder of the season. Do they cut Vick before the season is done? And if so, we would have the first crack to sign him off waivers. Would we do it?

I actually am starting to warm up to the idea of getting Vick for next year, taking BPA in the draft in round 1, then getting the highest rated developmental qb in the 2nd (Mike Glennon).

I think with a good offensive line, good weapons (hopefully we re sign Bowe) and a good defense + a weaker division he should be able to do A LOT better than what he did this year. Not too mention Andy Reid has been discussed a lot around these parts, so I would like the idea even more with the familiarity between the 2 of them.

I thought about this the other day. I'm not a big fan of the idea. Vick wasn't the only problem with the Eagles team but he never made his team better.

I wouldn't be mad if he got released and we claimed him but he's old and I would rather take a QB that doesn't need to develop as much.

Another possible outcome is someone like the Jags taking him which makes it even more likely we will have our choice at QB anywhere within the top 5.

Love him, as a back-up. He has shown that you just can't put a team on his shoulders for the entire season. The way he plays just leaves him too open to injuries-- he has started all 16 games just once in his career. If you bring him in as depth and a change of pace/back-up QB, then I'm all about it. He has the arm, he has the moves, he can even go out and win a game for you, and that's something we haven't had in a back-up since Rich Gannon.

He is not our answer, maybe if age wasnt an issue. but he is starting to get older, has had some injuries.

Draft QB #1 is our only answer.

Vick is allready going down hill as a athlete which is a huge part of his game. This is only going to get worse. I would pass on Vick.

Pick the Best QB you can in the first round. Have him sit for a year behind Quinn. Then let him go.

No thanks.

Vick is fun to watch, but the Chiefs need a long-term solution and he isn't it.

It's a shame that the QB class is so weak next year (really hope I can point to this post in a year's time and be wrong), but it's true.

Will see how the offseason evaluations go, but right now it looks pretty bad for us with a very high (possible 1st overall) draft pick and no real blue chip home run quarterback up there.

Geno Smith is good, but he is a mid-1st in any other draft year. Barkley should fall as well.

What I hope we do is pick up a game manager QB who won't give the ball away and pick up a second or third round value QB.

If the 49ers released Alex Smith, then he would be a better target for us than Michael Vick.

Basically any kind of journeyman QB that can start so our rookie can sit behind them until they push him out.

Sitting behind Vick would be detrimental to the development of our QB, even if its Geno Smith (who would be thrust into starting).

Basically our situation sux because next year's QB class is so weak.

But you don't think anyone will project as good as Tannehill or Wilson? Who are both capable of being a playoff QB on the right team....Tannehill had a chance with a bad team and Wilson may very well make it.

How could we possibly sell going with Quinn, when we have all the offensive weapons necessary to be successful if we have a capable QB? Quinn clearly won't be good enough to be a playoff caliber QB even if he continues playing decent, so you might as well play the guy who does have that possibility to get the most out of the offense.

Ill pass. Just way too injury prone and not as dynamic. Wouldn't be shocked to see him step away from the game anyway.

I would pass. Vick has never developed beyond an athlete with a canon for an arm. We need a young franchise quarterback and I would prefer to add a veteran that would give us a stabilizing presence behind the rookie (ex. Brady Quinn or Jason Campbell). Vick doesn't strike me as the type of veteran quarterback that would take a younger player under his wing - and I don't think he has the understanding of the position that would allow him to be a good teacher either.

If we select a player like Geno Smith for example, I want a heady veteran that understands the position and knows how to share his experience with Smith. Kind of like Mark Brunell in his later years.
