I completely disagree with this statement:

"Now obviously atlanta is much happier now to have matt ryan, but at the time i
can count on one hand how many teams didn't wish they had Vick as their QB"

I'm assuming you meant, "at THIS time" and just missed the word, so that's what
I'm going on. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think Vick was very highly
thought of as a starting QB across the league. He showed very little development
as a passer in his career, and also has very, very questionable leadership
qualities. Now, would teams out there still sign him and give him a chance?
Absolutely. But, I don't think there were many teams (if any at all) who were
foaming at the mouth to get a hold of him.

completely understand. I never want to see the guy play another down of
football but my personal feelings aside on him as a human being, i can
completely understand how winning anything in philly would feel a bit empty due
to the fact that (currently) he's had no impact on their success. I know i
personally wouldn't enjoy basking in someone else's glory when your entire life
you were always that type of athlete who made major contributions to your teams
success.

suddenly pop off with a 40 yard run that his average arm was a moot point. Now
obviously atlanta is much happier now to have matt ryan, but at the time i can
count on one hand how many teams didn't wish they had Vick as their QB

> as far as his ego....if TO can continue to get a job i see no reason why Vick
wont get a legit offer next season. My guess is that philly wasn't the only
team interested but he felt like it was going to be a great situation for him,
yet as it turns out it really hasn't been (although he should've know his
playing time was going to be next to nothing if mcnabb stayed healthy). The
league has seen that the fan base has forgotten his actions and is willing to
accept him back in the league (well i haven't, but i'm starting to feel like the
miority)...my guess is that there will be at least 5 desperate teams willing to
give him a chance as their starting QB, you have Oakland and Washington for sure
and he could possibly have interest from detroit, st louis, tennessee, kansas
city, seattle, tampa bay, carolina, or cleveland all dependent on how desperate
some of these owners are.

able to play at all. He "could" have been banned for life (tho I didn't think
that would have been appropriate). He is a great athlete but like a lot of
these types of QB's - they don't really end up having huge success in the long
term. Heck, I bet that Atlanta is secretly ECSTATIC now that they have Matt
Ryan instead of the superb athlete but enigma that Vick was at QB.

Is Buffalo that desperate?

as vick was as a runner i thought he would at the least be semi effective in a
