Would you have ever expected that this would be the outcome for the Vick brothers?

Question

One was banned from football for stomping on someone, and one suspended for dog-fighting.

I thought they would both have long successful careers. if i knew one would be banned, i would have guessed drugs.......but dog-fighting and stomping on someone!?!?

Answer 1

i just figured it would end with both of them being severly overrated qb's. Never anything illegal. I told everybody when Mike Vick was drafted that he would underachieve, his brother on the other hand I said and I still do say he never should have gone to VTECH. It would have been impossible for him to ever be successful there. He would have always played in his brother's shadow.

Answer 2

Tell you what i'm surprised about...the fact that you are surprised.

Little vick wasn't banned from NFL for stomping on anyone. That was VT..college. he just doesn't have the skills to make it as a starter QB in NFL. Plus, he's a little too quick to brandish handguns at people.

Big vick (aka Ron Mexico)...no, I'm not surprised. Now if Hines ward or chris carter or Byron leftwich were involved in dogfighting i would be surprised. This is "ron mexico" remember?

Answer 3

NEITHER was banned for stomping on ANYONE. That was in COLLEGE and he was kicked off the athletics squad. In the NFL he got a chance with the Dolphins and PROVED he wasn't even as good as his older, just as worthless, brother. That is sad but another topic. Technically though if Marcus had stayed in college he could have gone to another school and tried to get on their team(likely no one would take him though).
I'll be glad when both those bums are out of the league. Vick was NOT a "running QB" like people liked to claim. That requires you to be able to play QB as well.

Answer 4

Marcus Vick isn't banned from playing football; he just doesn't have enough talent to make a NFL roster. He's more of a practice squad type of player, at best.

Michael Vick always seemed pretty cleancut and professional to me. It was a big surprise to discover that he has been involved in serious crimes.

Answer 5

yeah thats amazing. If vick is guilty he needs to pay his cash and get back on the field. Vince Young is the closest thing to Vick and he's learning to stop running by his coaches. Troy Smith cant replace Vick because he's not even that fast and he's to short to ride a roller coaster. Jake Plummer is just a slow guy and McNair and Culpepper aren't that good at rushing. McNabb can but only when in the zone.

Answer 6

michael vicks little brother really hasnt done anything to impress me that much, i dont think he will lead any team to anything, as for michael....if he is found guilty i dont think any team would touch him with a fifty foot poll, unless they were desperate and couldnt get any trades...if he was to come back and wasnt in atlanta....look at oakland or detroit, simply because those teams need a star offensive player on their team

Answer 7

Both had incradible talent, its sad to see em go out this way. Vick could be an ProBowl elite player for years to come, its sadd it really is

Answer 8

I just thought that they would be completely overrated QB's. I never expected them to be THIS stupid. Wow!

Answer 9

This is what happens to athletes that play aggressive sports it is hard to turn on and off your emotions. The Vick brothers are just products of their environment.

Answer 10

See what happens when you run around with the wrong people?! Didn't your mom teach you better than that?!

I would have, too. It's sad to see good talent be wasted.
