OCinBuffalo Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 From another post about SI's Miami Preview I wrote: Remember these words for later: "And offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, who did exotic things in Pittsburgh with his combination wideout-quarterback, Antwaan Randle El, has found another one in Marcus Vick, the free-agent quarterback who was bounced out of Virginia Tech for on- and off-the-field misbehavior. Vick has had a remarkable camp as a receiver. He looks as if he'd played the position all his life. Just another plus for a team that could have a ton of them." -- Paul Zimmerman, SI Too bad Miami just cut Marcus Vick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past couple of years I've seen interviews and read quotes that seemed to indicate a HUGE sense of entitlement on his (Marcus') part. He seemed to really come off like he was goign to be a top pick in the draft or soemthing, lol. He's had a helluva series of wake up calls since leaving school, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i saw, he would have been a better passer than mike had he actually decided to do something productive with his life. But hes just another example of million dollar skill, 10 cent head.

mary owen Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 see? and Paul Z. along with P. King and a bunch of others like to sound as if they know what the hell is going on when Marv and Co. "reach" for picks in the draft. Just goes to show you....what the f*** do they know? certainly not any more than any of us who post here.

Maybe you should read my post again. I was referring to the draft and evaluating/predicting unproven talent with regards to the next level, the NFL. The comment was about Marcus Vick and my comment was about the draft. When it comes to that, I would definitely say the above-average NFL fan knows just as much.

My old Olympic Weightlifting coach often added "Talent is an affliction". 760410[/snapback] I like what he said to you....I think it's totally pertinent. It seems people forget that heart, desire, and hard work can go a LONG way. It's really a shame, cause I have an inkling that maybe part of Marcus' problem was that he didn't have enough people around him who gave him the proper direction. I don't know what his family situation was, but I don't really picture Michael Vick as the sort of person who would foster those attributes in his brother. I'm totally speculating here, I just hate to see guys like him, Clarrett, etc, go to waste because their heads aren't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Still not as bad as the PR machine they got going for the patriots. you can almost hear the slurping on Monday morning when Peter King is knob slobbin on The Belichek, The Brady, and The Holy Bruschi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going on about this great talent and how the great ofensive co-ordinator MM has this new weapon in Miami with Vick because of his great preseason games and TC, and yet the guy doesn't even make the team. Sure sounds to me like this guy watches a ton of video and evaluates alot of talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
