Quote:Why not here?

Because he's an aging, injury-prone QB with a history of felonies and an ego the size of Wolfson Park (is that still there?). Henne's a better fit at this point.

 

Quote:Just saw that Shaun Hill is a FA too, this would be another guy I would take a look at if we didn't get a QB in the first round. Not as good as Vick, but he has been better consistently than McCown. Would be an upgrade for us.

I've liked Hill as a backup for a long time, but not so much as a starter, even of the temporary variety. I don't think he has the physical measurables to succeed in the role, even if he's got the moxie for it.

 

Quote:Surprised by how many people are pro-Vick. I guess this board isn't entirely full of people who'll say "No thanks" to any single move regarding a controversial player in an attempt to come off as a conservative armchair GM.

Vick is a convicted felon with a history of utter disregard for life. The fact that he's allowed to own any dog again, let alone a Belgian Malinois (a breed that can be trained to be violent), is a joke. I don't want him within 50 miles of Jacksonville. I don't think he should be within 50 miles of any NFL stadium. He should have been banned for life after killing dogs by drowning or electrocuting them, engaging in dogfighting (illegal gambling) and lying to federal investigators about it. His career should have ended when he was convicted, and to this day I don't know why he was ever reinstated.

 

Even if that's taken out of the equation, I don't think he's worth the trouble for the Jaguars. As I said earlier, Henne's a better fit for the build of this team, even if he's not quite as mobile as what you'd think of as the ideal Bradley/Fisch QB.
