RUMOR: Possibly Shaub at QB, Vick at RB

I guess on NFL live they were talking about Atlanta possibly having Shaub start at QB and Vick at RB(or just for some plays) if Dunn and Norwood both can't go. Once again this is just a rumor.


This is even less than rumor.... just media created from espn
 
This should have been done in some capacity going into the year.

Atlanta uses Vick horribly, because we can all see he's not a QB.
 
If I were Atlanta that's exactly what I would do. Vick catching the ball in the flats all day long just like last night.

:banghead:

Sorry, can't see Vick's "ego" ever letting that happen.

No way, no how.


Ego.....what? I doubt he would care because he would probably get most of the production anyway. Only difference would be him having recieving yards to go along with everything else.

if vick does this we will destroy them...what makes mike vick is good is the fact that you dont know if he will run and when he does he is fast enough to burn you...but if you know he is running...thats a different story when 8 guys are coming after you...that would be the stupidest thing they have ever done!


if he takes the pitch....he can still throw....and Vick has multiple guys coming after him all the time.....


If they do it....I bet it would work and work well.
 
Use Vick like D. McFadden in the "wildcat offense".

Its a gimmick but if both of your RB's can't go...
 
how is marcus doing as a receiver in miami or has he been cut already?

Vick wants to win. Why do you think his ego would prevent this from happening? I think it's a great idea, given how Dallas struggled against New Orleans. Catch them when they are down.
 
Vick would never survive if he is w/o the QB protection.

I agree ,but if it's true , shaub throws alot better ball.
 
I can't see this happening... but for the record, I think Vick is every bit as fast and quick as Reggie Bush.

I think he's less durable, but just as quick if not quicker.

Its Simple... the media will ask questions as to why he cant win while playing QB... etc....

for the record... I always thought he should be a WR/RB type
 
They dismissed it as just the espn guys talking out their yeas.


Something about Vick's contract having a clause against this type of action anyway.

I can't believe that Mora would place Vick at risk like that. When he runs as a QB he has some rules that protects him and he picks and chooses when he runs and he keeps the would be tacklers in front of him. As a rb he is fair game for anybody and the rules that protect a QB won't apply to him as a rb.
