Kaepersnicker or whatever his name is had a couple mistakes and a loss yesterday to the Rams? Really? I know its only a game but this this could only get worse for the Niners if he turns out not to be what Harbaugh thought he was going to be. Now its to late to go back to Smith and its almost playoff time.

Anyway my Cowboys are still hanging in there with a unimpressive win against Philly last night. With Vick, Mccoy, And Jackson out they still struggled to put one in the win colum against a struggling team with more issues than any team in the league at the moment imo. I'm not sure if its worth trying to get in the playoffs this year or if they should just lose out and hope for a good draft pick as a family member of mine mentioned. Seems like they're just delaying the inevitable but only time will tell.

It's boom or bust now with Kaepernick. I don't like the way Harbaugh handled this.

Nick Foles named the starter and their deffensive line coach was fired as soon as he got off the plane. I'm sure Andy Reid is history as well, its just finding out when. Whats a good fit for Vick in the future?

Likely being a back up quarterback, somewhere. I'd imagine teams built around an athletic qb(carolina, washington, seattle) might possibly want him.

You don't think he's starter material?

Sparky · 12-03-2012, 03:18 PM

I do. After the serious fumble-itis he might seem like a risk not worth taking by most teams. Not to mention his inconsistent passing, his damaged persona and "ability to lead", as well as his age. I just don't know what team would want him, possibly the jets. They're pretty good at making dumbfounded acquisitions a la tebow.

Oh God the effin Jets? lol. They got more QB drama than they can handle now. I really hope that Teebow goes to another team or becomes the starter there so we don't have to hear espn and Teebow nation screaming for him. As for Vick I think a team will take a chance on him as a starter..theres just to many desperate franchises out there. I think it has to be the right environment (right coach) and program though for him to be successful.

Man oh man..did anyone see the Pats pick apart the Texans? I never have completely bought into the Texans being as good as the hype but dang. I didn't expect them to get exposed like they did tonight.

I bet he joins a team with a mediocre QB, a team that he thinks may have a chance at doing something in the playoffs if he is playing his best. Athletes are fucking egomaniacs, he thinks he can pilot a team to a title (defenses had him figured out midway through his first season back after his jail stint; he apparently is done developing as a player, or he just doesn't care anymore).
