Merged: marcus / Vick Cut

[primetime23]

anyone know why vick got cut. Im shocked the guy played good in the last game to i figured he was a lock to get in. but he didnt and OVER russell? what? Im shocked and riggs and harris get cut wow. I think we're going to sign alot of f/a soon.

Apparently, he either sucks or made a trip to McDonald's late last night.

If you are put on the practice squad can you be recalled during the season?

Im thinking Russle is trade bait and either Vick or Gibson will be brought back up (if indeed its possible)

 

[dolfanknox]

definately surprised. somebody will jump all over him soon. just because he is a vick and is a killer athlete.

Some wary shopper will probably pick up New Mexico, at least for their practice squad.

thats funny, I saw nothing that was particularly "killer". Not saying he wasnt good, but cmon already! People act as if we cant win games unless we have this guy on our team. Unbelievable.

If he clears waivers, then I think we get the first option for the practice squad.

The Hamburglar wanted a Happy Meal. :wink: But seriously, I thought Little Vick earned a spot. :shakeno:

Dont know about that, he did not get drafted, and we were the only team have talks with him after the draft. He did not show anything special in the Pre Season as a returner or as a WR and there are plenty of WR cut that have shown more than a converted QB. I think he clears and he stays with us on the PS. At least I hope, I dont see Gibson clearing waivers though, he had a solid PS and showed his ability to get open.

Yup, either he'll be on the practice squad or another Maurice Clarrett.

If he stays within the Miami area, then I am never going to McDonald's again. :refuse:

I don't think he did that much, but probably has enough upside to keep around. I would have dropped a TE and kept Vick or Gibson.

 

[primetime23]

yea he can be recalled from the practice squad like how a major league baseball team can recall a player from the minors, i think

You shouldn't go there anyway, it's bad for you :o

Considering his past, not many teams will be interested in picking him up. He can't play QB at the NFL level, so he'll have to learn another position. Rookie WR are not usually big factors because it takes a year or two for them to understand the complexity of an NFL passing attack and to learn how to beat great defensive backs. There's no way he's going to be a factor in 2006 at WR without ever having played the position.

And there's no way he's going to beat out a Cliff Russell, a former 3rd pick with good size and 4.42 speed. Russell is entering his 5th NFL season, and his 2nd with the Dolphins. He's practiced extensively against NFL DBs, and he knows our offense after spending 9 games on our 2005 roster. And in 2004, he was the primary kick returner for the Bengals. He has the experience to be a contributor in 2006. Vick does not.

gee, ya think?

vick needs another year and this lovefest for him has got to stop. i've been a lurker but it's time to finally sign up and give my opinion like you have. has it ever occured to you that maybe vick isn't ready to be on the roster and russell is? russell and gibson are about the same talent skills at wr. russell made it because he can play st's and gibson can't. and please remember that he is our 5th wr, not 1st. he wont get to see the field much but st's anyway. vick should be on the ps this year to get more time at being a wr and learn more.
