QuoteOpinions on the Vick signing are sharply divided among fans and media, which isn't a surprise. I happen to think it's a good deal, but I spoke to one longtime front-office executive who believes Vick, 33, is washed up.

    "The Jets already have a guy like him ," said the executive, referring to Geno Smith. "If you bring Vick in, you're not thinking. It makes no sense. He's a good kid. He's more mature, he's not a distraction and the players respect him, but he doesn't bring anything to the table anymore — nothing. He can't win with his legs anymore, he has to win with his head. His arm is good enough, but unfortunately, the arm isn't connected to the head."

    An AFC personnel scout said of the Vick-for-Sanchez move: "I don't know what to think, to be honest. You swap one out for the other. There's still no long-term solution."

Vick and Geno are nothing alike skill wise.  :Racist

Geno has a consistent skillset? Vick's skillset is speed, which is fading. That's pretty much the list.

...Which would be super impressive if he could regularly get it where it needs to go.

well accuracy is a skill that he doesnt possess....but to say he doesnt have arm strength as a skill is nuts....in fact his deep balls are a big strength....his problem is when having to throw thru over and around lineman

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

anyone else want to say something nice (and true)?
