Poll question: Suppose Vick was signed by your team and turned it into a contender... would you still follow them? |

Coming from a fan whose own problems with team QBs (Alex Smith, JeMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, et al) are legendary, I'd still say NO WAY.
What says the Sports Forum?

Though to be fair, if you had asked me during the Tony Eason years my answer may have been different. :)

2. For a while there, it was a possibility. |
|
That's a hypothetical bullet I'm happy to dodge.:shrug:

3. I'm not going to stop following an entire team |
|
over one guy. Anyway, Vick has served his time, and though I don't think his mindset has really changed, his views that dog fighting is not that big of a deal is common throughout the world of sports. What am I going to do?

4. I'd follow even if they weren't a contender. |

8. Yes, it is currently happening. |
|
Hate him personally, love what he's doing on the field. I just want to win a frigging Super Bowl.

9. At least you are honest about it |
|
The "win at any cost" shit drives me crazy, but I'll give you props for not pushing the "he's a hero, he redeemed himself!" bullshit- someone told me that the announcers at the game compared him to WW2 veterans...BARF BARF BARF... I have to say, I've been a Skins fan for almost 30 years and I WOULD boycott my team if they signed him. And maybe Terrell Owens. Or Roethelisburger.

10. I hate to stick up for TO, but he's not in the same league as the dog killer and the alleged rapist |
|
he's just an asshole. Vick is a convicted felon, and the jury's still out on Roethlisberger. BIG difference

We had teams full of prima donnas before - never worked. All three have the same problem IMO - unchecked arrogance. Don't like it in real life, don't like it on politics and hate it in sports. I really can't stomach his antics- you know you can add DeShaun Jackson on that list. I just want to punch him everytime I see him. I'm old skool that way.
