I doubt it.

he's probably going to be a late 4th round or 5th round pick at the very best/worst....

The guy is too good an athlete to slip further.

He'll fit right in with the felons frequenting the NFL these days. If these guys couldn't throw a football or dribble a basketball, they'd be doing the drive-by shootings or liquor store holdups or your neighborhoods. It's really no surprise. Rotten values don't change because you wear a uniform (non-military).

I don't think Parcells would jump for that.

This creep should be in prison.

Prison for what? Driving 38 in a 25? Get real.

When you say the next Ryan Leaf is at UCLA, do you mean that Drew Olson has the possibility to be as much of a head case as Leaf was?

Or that Olson is as over-rated as Leaf was?

I think both.

Olsen was on the Jim Rome show talking about how they were going to give USC a bigtime run for their money and blah blah blah.

Rome also asked him about his 3 INTs and Olsen immediately answered that there shouldn't be any, and then gave excuses as to why they were there in the first place.

I guess that's as good an option to being expelled as any.

Vick looks like he might fit in as a Raider.

"This creep should be in prison."

Why?

He certainly wasn't suspended for the speeding ticket. But college towns have these kind of traps all the time. There's a road in Highland Park, NJ (near Rutgers) that is 4 lanes of straight road with a 25 limit.

No doubt Vick isn't the only one to get a ticket there, but 13 mph over is not petty, even if it is a trap.

He may also do well as a Minnesota Viking.

Friday night, Marcus Vick told The Virginian-Pilot that he would turn professional. "It's not a big deal. I'll just move on to the next level, baby" he said

it's peculiar how the story has changed from this morning ... when I saw the story this morning, Vick had, what I thought, a snotty attitude as quoted above. Now he is all apologetic and so on. I can't find that quote anywhere else ... he must know the xxxlintons

"I have decided to enter the NFL draft," the junior quarterback said in a three-paragraph statement released through his lawyers.

Dodged that McBullet.

This is like saying "You can't fire me! I quit!"

I would be willing to select Vick as my 5th round pick. He's a project, sure. But he has obvious talents of a Vick.

I would even attempt to have him play as a slash player, wide reciever/running back/3rd string quarterback.

A poster said earlier, that he was pulled over for driving 38 in a 25 zone. That's bull$hit. We have all done that.

He needs a good coach and some time for him to mature. Marcus is not as bad as some players in NFL including thugs Ray Lewis on Baltimore Ravens who was involved in a murder.

Where does this NWA punk get the idea that it is his right to play in the NFL rathern than a privilege?

NWA? Marcus Vick isn't in the NWA......

exactly.

I think it's a maturity thing.

Same with Clarett, except he has already had his shot.

Denny Green might be the guy to do it too.

I look for him to be a free agent, undrafted. With his background, I don't think any NFL team would stick out their necks and waste a draft choice on this looser.
