I am not an NFL fan but I keep hearing the Raiders...what about them that some people think will take a chance with Vick?

Because they are the Raiders. What haven't they done wrong in the past two years?

Funny people always say the low lifes and losers end up on the Raiders but how many players have been arrested on the Raiders this off season?? If we took all the losers and troublemakers we would already have pacman/vic and most of the bengals signed. The get the rap of taking all the troublemakers from years ago when they were the bad boys of the NFL. Since then youve had the cowboys famous 9-7 season ( 9 arrests 7 convictions) and this years bengals team but no matter what another team does the Raiders will always be the bad boys in peoples minds.

I find it doubtful that even a team hurting for offense as badly as the Raiders would be willing to take a risk on Michael Vick. First of all, Vick has never been a great quarterback. He's a great athlete, but his throwing ability has always been mediocre at best. Secondly, any team that decides to hire Vick now would face a public relations nightmare that would not only hit their team but the NFL as a whole, and I suspect the NFL as an organization wouldn't allow that to happen.
If the Raiders truly want a quarterback, their best bet is to get JaMarcus Russell signed or draft a new quarterback next year.

Image is never a concern for the Raiders.

Vick, is the type of player who, eventually, ends up in OAKLAND. this is the type of player personality that, the RAIDERS seem to historically, be looking for.

Because Al Davis always takes the players nobody else wants. Plus, there is a good chance they will need a QB.

cause not many teams will be looking to acquire him because of his law troubles. the raiders are very needy at QB so they would sign him. i wouldnt doubt it if they signed byron leftwich jamarcus wont sign cause nobody wants to start out in a suck a$$ place like oakland

1 - cause they have nothing to lose at this point
2 - look at there QB situation. Culpepper,McCown, and an unsigned Jamarcus Russell
3 - Because there still a large market team. so naturally espn still hypes em, win or lose.
