Merged: Marcus Vick

I think he has a lot of growing up to do. With that said, he'll probably be available at our pick. He runs like his brother and is much more accurate on passes. I'd do it!

I happen to be a fan of VT. (my wife went there a few years ago) I also happen to be a Michael Vick fan. However, that being said. Marcus has a lot of learning/growing up to do. He is absolutely, by no means ready for the NFL. If he can get over his attitude problem, and get a little more experience, he should do pretty well.
 
he's not near ready, but va tech might force him to declare w/ a big suspension (which i hope happens, he's too big of a distraction, positively and negatively). he struggles against any coverage that is not soft zone, has bad mechanics, struggles vs blitzes, is at the most 5'11", has questionable intermediate to deep arm strength, and is a punk on top of all of that. he is great in the short passing game and is accurate on the run, which may be he two strongest points, but his other flaws make him a 2nd day pick.
 
Everyone needs to understand, this was Marcus' first full year behind center. He's way too raw.

I agree. Don't get me wrong... maybe he'll develop into something, but that whole stomping incident in the Gator Bowl shows, he needs to mature.
 
With all due respect, i don't think thats a good idea. Either way, they, along with UVa kinda dominate our sports news here in Virginia, and Vick said he wasn't ready, so it aint gonna happen anyway.
 
However if he DID declare himself, he wouldn't be the first person in history to change his mind. Personally, I don't think he's ready. He had a great year, but he looked horrible against "the U" and Florida State. One of his problems is he doesn't secure the ball when he runs. He kinda hangs it out there like Deion. Miami made mincemeat of him because of just that reason. He's good though. I think with maybe another year or two under his belt, he'll hopefully have matured a little.
 
I know this is a Vick thread, but I tell you guys this. If you're interested in looking at VT, and are interested in getting another good pass rusher, check out Darryl Tapp. I wouldn't mind seeing him get picked up.
 
Virginia Tech is kinda like the Dolphins of the NCAA. Everyone always overlooks them, but they breed some pretty special athletes. When he is drafted, I bet it'll be third round or so. If thats the case, someone got themselves a steel. Not just for his playing ability, but his hard work and dedication. If no one knows what im talking about, just google "virginia tech" "darryl tapp" and "lunch pail".
