Vick to the 'Skins?

Things have been rather slow at Redskins Park since the draft. The roster is essentially set for the training camp, and the players are preparing themselves for the upcoming season.

It's kind of nice to see things quiet around there for once, but fans want to stir the pot by throwing Mike Vick's out as a possible addition to the roster.

I say let's do it!

I mean, obviously, it would be a great addition to the team. Jason Campbell needs to be pushed, and bringing in Vick, who was just released from a 23-month jail term, would be great for that. I mean, he's had two years off from football, that's gotta be good for his legs.

I can see where you might say he maybe hasn't thrown a football during his time in the joint, or at least to an NFL caliber receiver, but who cares?! Vick was an elite passer during his 6-year career, posting a phenomenal 53.8 completion percentage over his career. Since the West Coast offense needs an accurate passer, this should be an upgrade from Campbell's lousy career numbers.

Vick may be most known for his passing abilities, but he also has the ability to break long runs at any moment. He should be poised for a breakout season after resting his legs for so long, there should be no problems there either.

Pretty much, this is a no brainer. Amazing arm, big play potential, and I didn't even have to touch on his leadership qualities. I would not be surprised if the team contacted Vick as soon as he's reinstated to the league. He's the quarterback we've been waiting so long for.
