Vick Flies Like an Eagle

OK, so normally I try to strictly keep it all Browns, all the time in the Blawg Pound, but I cannot let this Michael Vick thing pass.

ESPN reports that the Philadelphia Eagles have signed Michael Vick.

This is news, because, finally a team has stepped forward and said, “Hey, we don’t care if the whole world turns against us. We’ve completely forgotten that Michael Vick is an average, at best, quarterback who can’t stay in the pocket and play quarterback. We’ll sign him! It’ll be a great challenge for our public relations department.

So, maybe they didn’t say that. My point is: Michael Vick was NOT a great quarterback before he went to prison. He talent was blown out of proportion by the media (especially you, Joe Theismann and Paul Maguire) — the same media who turned against him when it was discovered he was a psychopath who enjoys torturing and killing dogs.

He was NOT a great quarterback. He never won anything. He was nothing special — just another cocky kid who thinks because he can run fast, he should play quarterback. A quarterback needs to be able to do more things than just run fast, and torturing and killing dogs isn’t one of them.

I know many people are outraged that Michael Vick is back in the NFL. Personally, dog-killing aside, I don’t see why it’s such a big deal that a mediocre quarterback who hasn’t played in a couple of years was such a high-profile signing.

Hey, Michael Vick, you suck! Go Browns!
