Well, good ole reliable espn analyst Michael Smith is predicting that we are going to sign Vick. I can’t understand why he would think that: A) no $$$, B) questionable character (not a JR likable quality), C) not gonna be a QB b/c he is a below average one and we are better off with Jake, D) what position would he play that would be of any use to us?

I highly doubt he comes here. On other news Fox expects Smitty to be back before the preseason ends, but we all know that Fox could just be playing dumb here.

Now how awesome would that be? To have Rivers on this current Panthers team? I am drooling now… Shame on you Clayton for getting me worked up over something that we all know isn’t going to happen.

It’s horrible from top to bottom. Vick does not fit in to John Fox’s philosophy in any way, shape, or form. Michael Smith is dead wrong on this one. The team that is going to sign Vick is going to be a team either hoping their organization can shield him (see New England), one that needs to put asses in seats (see Buffalo) or a team that never knows what to do (Raiders anyone?)

As for Rivers, I definitely think when it is said and done he’s going to get an Eli contract. Eli is being over paid, but that has set the new market value. No way is a San Diego fanbase going to settle for losing their first star QB since Dan Fouts after letting Brees go and the Leaf debacle. Only way it makes sense is if a major contractual issue occurs, or they decide Merriman is more important. If that’s the case the Panthers could be a very real target if Peppers leaves next season.

Rivers as a Panther? It makes me salivate a little.

Same $&*@ different day.

and the author provides no link to the reverenced opinion. And it is that, an opinion:

Florio believes that teams that ruled out Vick earlier are secretly scouting and asking his agent, friends, family, Tony Dungy, and even Mike Vick himself about the possibility of playing with their team. The Panthers could be one of those teams.

This is total speculation based on nothing. Irresponsible blogging in my view. Looks like a new site so I’ll cut him a break…for now ;)

even though all signs show that we won’t. I almost kinda wish Fox would just come out and say it already so we can stop this. Thank you ESPN for listing any team that hasn’t flat out said no to Vick as a favorite to sign him. I can’t wait til this is over.

How about that? Mostly keep him on the bench, but run a couple packages to show him off this year. Then after the season, teams will see him as in football shape and more proven. So we use that to get another draft pick pick.

Ah $&@# it, it’s not that funny anymore. I would love to see him play for a team that plays ATL this year, like San Fran, but the rivalry with CAR has chance to be good in the next few years. I don’t wanna see y’all take him and allow him implode your team as he did ours. His talent could translate to a WR, but people think that his golden arm equals talent in the NFL. Jeff George had a great arm, and so does JaMarcus Russell. So did Kordell Stewart. Big deal. If Vick had really changed, he wouldn’t still be telling people it’s QB or nothing. You screw up while having the chance to get paid more than 99% of the population while playing a game, and then think you have the right to dictate to teams where you want to play? “Yes sir, thank you sir, for the chance to make millions I’ll play where you ask.” If this isn’t coming out of his mouth, he needs to go work a 9-5….sorry guys, I’m off my soap box now….

But we wants to be under center…

That the Michael Vick discussion officially be suspended until he actually signs with someone.
