Golden Nuggets: Enough About Vick!

by James Brady on May 23, 2009 4:15 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Good morning folks, James here with your Nuggets. Sorry I'm a little late today, I've slept in a bit and am now in a (slight) hurry. I'm getting this up about... an hour late, and I can only hope people didn't get on yet expecting the links and didn't get them. Either way I'm here now, though there's not very many links to go through. I'll post what I've got, but I'm thinking no more than five or so. As you can tell by the title of this particular article, I'm quite sick of the Michael Vick nonsense already, aren't you? Either way I believe my first article two are about well, none other than Mike Vick. How ironic. Or just lame. That being said, I'll get right to it.

Here's an article that identifies Vick as a target for the 49ers, though I'm slightly insulted by the article in that they say we don't have a "good" quarterback on the roster, when I truly feel like Shaun Hill is more than enough to qualify as "good." (SportingNews.com)

Another source seems to think Singletary doesn't want Vick. (ProFootballTalk.com)

Barrows has some observations from OTAs. I'm really having a bright outlook on Josh Morgan going into next season. (SacBee.com)

Hey lookit that, an article about my favorite linebacker, Jeff Ulbrich. (49ers.com)

More player-based articles, this one dealing with TE Bear Pascoe. I really like the guy. (SFGate.com)

49ers Team Report from Yahoo Sports. (Yahoo.com)

That's all I've got for right now.

Let's retire the Vick talk

Vick actually has a lower lifetime NFL completion percentage than Alex Smith, and Smith played much of 2007 with a separated shoulder. Yes, Vick was an exciting runner, but that was years ago and I’m guessing there wasn’t room for him to run wind sprints in his cell.

A quarterback who runs well but doesn’t pass well doesn’t make it in the NFL. I think that a lot of reporters are confusing Singletary’s compassion and Christian willingness to forgive with an actual interest in the guy.

Myself, I hope that Michael Vick turns his life around, whether it’s on the football field or in another area. He’s gone to jail, served his time. But I don’t see him as a Niner and I don’t see him as anything more than a mediocre quarterback. My opinion.

Thank you

Bad example for the Kids. He hasn’t shown any remorse at all. We need better choices than him. With all the school and gang Killing,do we need a other example of bad behavior. For all you Vick fans, put on a Vick T-shirt, go out and see what happens. I doubt that you would do that. Figures!!!!

Bear is my guy.

I’m going to be rooting for this guy to be on the field all the time. Blocking back my butt, he’s the full package I say! I watched this kid for 4 years, and he’s not just some blocking TE, he’s a throwback as that article says, and he’s mash your teeth in.
WAC linebackers feared this guy, and for good reason, he would shrug off one hit like nothing, as if high school cheerleader had hit him instead of a linebacker. This guy means business, and he doesn’t go down without at least two guys on him. He wont be weighed down by the other TE’s on the team for very long either.
Just wait. I love this kid.
