I can't wait for Vick to come back to Atlanta. I still like him and will cheer when he comes on the field. I just hope the Eagles lose.

You either die a hero
or
live long enough to see yourself become the villian
I am sure he will run at least one play

Why would you cheer for a player who ruined the team when he was here? Oh and killed a bunch of dogs.
He said in an interview he still has tons of fans in Atl. and it is still his house, and he "Expects people to cheer for him as he takes the field" what an a$$.
he is the reason i got into football

im just glad UGA didnt have to see him back in Atlanta again lol
fuck mike vick. he played this whole city for fools and as mentioned above killed and fought dogs.
I still like him and I wish him the best in his football endeavors. I wish that I could go to this game sooo bad, if I were home I would be going to it because the Eagles are my second favorite team.
i dont care for him now nor did i care for him when he played for ATL. we would have done just fine with matt schaub at QB
hmmm, he didnt ruin the team all that bad seeing all the money he made arthur blank. how is he a a$$ just for recognizing the fact that alot of folks in atlanta still have love for him? no need in bashing the man up, i thought this hold vick down forever mess was buried and done with.
Guy paid his debt to society and apologized to the public. He's even doing things to bring awareness about animal cruelty. Let it go it's old news now. He will play but not to any great extent I don't think. We'll see how it plays out.
we are still paying for his mess with 18.5 million still on the salary cap.
People were Mike Vick fans, never Falcon's fans. I have had season tix since '98, I was a fan at first but the realized his type of play just won't work in the Nfl. You have to pass the ball as a first option not run. The dog stuff was just the straw that broke the camels back. He alone ran off 3 coaches b/c Blank wouldn't let them start Schaub.
People were Falcon's fans because of Mike Vick. Don't blame Vick. He practically single-handedly carried this organization on his back. He even got a few MVP votes. If you don't believe me, try and remember the 03-04 season. The dog fighting created bad publicity for the organization and they didn't want to be associated with that.
Ryan won't play because of turf toe. It'll be a miracle if we win.
As for those saying "Fuck Mike Vick," yeah he did some stupid shit, and I hated him for it, but he's paid his debt to society and deserves a second chance.
There are two ways to look at this. One is that I thought the same thing as you. Schaub is NOT better than Ryan. And I was going to show VIP Style that through stats. But when I looked through the stats, everything on paper, showed that Schaub is a better QB. He played 11 games last year for Houston and was only 400 yards short on Ryan's 16 game season. Not bad.
BUT, the second way to look at this is that Schaub has been around for four years longer than Ryan. He has four years experience on Ryan.
The argument here is that Schaub SHOULD be better because of his seniority over Ryan. BUT, the way Ryan was thrust into the NFL and Falcons the way he was and him to perform the way he did last year was very much more impressive than anything Schaub has done. On paper, Schaub is better. In reality, I think Ryan is already knocking Schaub's level's front door.
I fully agree with the first part of this statement. I've always been satisfied with his punishment and also lean towards the "paid his debt" thing. Just like any other criminal, he should be accepted back into the workplace.
Now the second part of this post can be questionable. I don't know of anyone that can truly admit to thinking that Vick is doing the "animal awareness" promotions because he wants to. Actually, most (if not all) of it is court-ordered. And if it's not court-ordered, he's only doing it for himself. Not the animals. He knows he really fucked his image up and will do whatever it takes to get his popularity (and money) back. He wasn't doing this animal charity work BEFORE he got caught in all this. It just takes common sense and logic to figure this one out.

The Dogfighting shit is over and one with. He paid his debt to society...done, end of story. If you continue to harp on that you are a fucking idiot because to do so undermines EVERYTHING the United States criminal justice system was founded on.
As for the Falcons. They suck and football sucks. so it doesn't really matter what he did because football is gay.

This game will be toe to toe, and a great one at that. These teams have always had similar playing styles and usually have a great game every year.
its about time. quit hating on vick. while he was winning games nobody had a problem. so what he fought some pitbulls, mexicans do that on the regular in gwinnett.

BLASPHEMY!!!!! BOO THIS MAN
[quote=PSINXS;38562767]Lol. I played Rugby for years. Football is useless shit to me. Bunch of bloated, overpaid idiots who for the most part couldn't do anything else in life other than what they do now. Vick is a prime example of that. He's a dumbass. I don't care for him simply because he is ignorant and useless other than to toss a ball around.
But he has served his time for the dumb shit he did, so ignorant or not, he deserves a second chance at stupid.![]()

Thank you, J Baby.
You do know that hate is bred from jealousy. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm damn sure not jealous of Vick. Lolol.
And actually, there was a huge following of Falcon fans that didn't like Vick even when he was with Atlanta. Everyone knew he was a ball hog and a showboater. It was always about Vick. Not the team. I did look forward to watching him play each week and I'll say he's a very talented football player. Just not a good QB. Later, QD.
i just hope the falcons win. dont care about anything on vick.
he has touched the ball 24 times this year with a whopping 1.1 yards per carry. That includes the 35 yard run last week. He may get 7 touches this week. He is the biggest non-story this year.
How in the world do you figure that? He got fuckin arrested and went to jail for two years when our entire offense was built around him. How is that NOT ruining the team?! And he got arrested for something as stupid and ignorant as dogfighting. He's a moron plain and simple. He screwed himself and our franchise. We even took salary cap hits for two years after he was gone.
Why would any Falcon fan still respect this D-bag?
He's back in the NFL making money again, so nobody is 'holding him down'.
We? Our? You have stock in the Falcons? You part owner?? Are you on the team??
--> and a FAN respects the player --- even if you don't want him to dog-sit for you. Just like the fact that Michael Jackson has been the highest selling artist since June - respecting what he did for a living even though no1 would let him baby-sit.
JUST like Republican soldiers dying in wars and conflicts bc they respect the ORGANIZATION (the U.S) even if they don't respect Obama. If you're a member/resident of this country you roll w/ what we have in place --- anything else is fucking treason.
If you are a FALCONS fan you support the roster until another roster is put in place.
Grow up.

No, im not on the team. Sorry to confuse you...
I am a fan. And I always supported Vick, even when I thought we should of drafted Drew Brees instead of him. But when a player puts himslef(and cousins) above the team...I have NO respect for that.
You got anything to say about football, or you wanna talk about Michael Jackson and Obama?
wow vick is coming to town...and? it aint like he's going to play. All i know is that the falcons are going to win.
Have you heard of the guy who rolls and pulls fenders in Atlanta? YEAH, I'M THAT GUY! Hit me up!https://www.facebook.com/VipFenderRolling
You are one of those people that call 680 The Fan and give your armchair assessments of what the team, or the coach who gets paid millions, should have done on the previous weeks game aren't you?
Most times those people refer to them and their teams as "We" like they have some kinship.
Nothing wrong with that I guess, just seems creepy.
