Being in the 3-5 range would be good, we don't want the first pick though. Way too much money tied up in it, especially when we will be looking to draft a position (like CB) not worthy of #1 money

Micheal Vick is unstopable to nite it's nice to see a QB thats able to run or pass i wished the lions would have gone after him instead of drafting stafford.Vick will go far into the playoffs.

Because 2 years ago and fresh out of prison Mike Vick looked like a sure thing, right? Who didn't want him?

no one wanted him except philly which was surprizing

i wanted him because before prison he was a great QB that was a no brainer,the past is the past i see him for what he was worth.

Qb is the most important part of the team. example a great QB on a bad team will beat a bad QB on a good team.

Vick wasn't good enough to be the backup last year. He's a perfect example of a guy who dedicated himself to his job and figuring out what he needed to do to improve. He lost weight, he overhauled his preparation and practice habits, and he learned how to apply what he sees on film to the field. Some of that credit goes to McNabb for mentoring him, some goes to Andy Reid for taking extra time to help him. Some of it is Vick's competitive nature; he's never had to fight for a job before and he realized it was either seize the job or his career would be over. His agent and a couple of fresh advisors helped him too, stopped saying "yes" and started confronting him about his decisions and actions. It helps that he's got Jackson and Maclin, who have to be the fastest WR duo in NFL history. It still makes me shake my head that Maclin is the "slow guy"...the guy ran a 10 flat 100M and a 4.34 40 and he's the slowest skill position starter :jawdrop:
