As I said in the other post, Parcells playing games and taking his time is going to cost us when he tucks his tail and runs like he has always done.

He's gonna be "coach killed."

i dont want parcells back but if he's gonna be back then he better make it official before the week is over because yeah he will screw us from good candidates if he waits too long to make his decision

also heard Mort say the new coach would have full authority over what to do with the "coach killer"

he said Vick's time as a starter is possibly over...cant imagine Patrino wasting time on a guy who cant pass or read defenses

No way Vick will be a backup...

How much would trading him cost the team toward the cap?

Petrino with Schuab as his QB would make the Falcons Offense deadly! IMO

they'll have alot of other work to do, but Petrino was the gem of the college coaches IMO

Turn Vick into a WR..

they were talking about it earlier...he just got a ridiculous 130 million contract with something like 20-30 million in bonuses

and while the guys on the radio thought he had all kinds of trade value, I dont agree...he hasnt improved much (if any) as a QB...he doesnt work hard, he's a huge pouter...he doesnt fit any NFL offense known to man...they are stuck with him

Yeah, if he's not coming back I think he should decide early and announce it.

I sorta think that if Bill is coming back, Jerry will hold off until February 1st to announce it. Don't get me wrong, I love Jerry, just seems he likes to break big news regarding the 'Boys during Super Bowl week.

Vick can be a good receiver or running back in the NFL.

Vick would get killed as a RB

 

[dbair1967]

Vick would get killed as a RB

better than gettting the coached killed as a QB I guess

It'll be really interesting to see what Petrino says about this...I cant imagine he would have taken this job if Vick was being shoved down his throat, and Vick doesnt fit that style of offense in any way, shape or form

[Chocolate Lab]

I can only imagine the wars that will take place on the Falcons boards if Petrino really does move Vick... There'll be enough people here that will defend him like crazy if that happens...

 

[Da Hammer]

just realized this might mean Brian Brohm for sure goes to the NFL now that his offensive genious coach is gone...

Vick would get killed as a RB

He won't get 20 carries a game at RB. But you could put him at different positions during the game to create match-up problems. And you can have him at QB every once in a while with a play designed to be a triple option play. The shotgun play where you either give it to the back, take it for yourself or you can design a pass out of it.
