« Jets owner supports a return for Favre
Adam Schefter
Are 49ers angling for Vick?

Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Dan Reeves, Hue Jackson, Michael Vick, Mike Johnson, San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers are being secretive about their offensive plans, but it’s not hard to connect the dots in this case.

The 49ers are interviewing former Falcons head coach Dan Reeves today for their offensive coordinator vacancy. Reeves was Atlanta’s head coach in 2001, when the team traded for the No. 1 overall draft pick to use on QB Michael Vick.

One day earlier, the 49ers interviewed Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson, who used to coach Vick in Atlanta. And San Francisco also has expressed some interest in former Falcons wide receivers coach Mike Johnson, who coached quarterbacks in Baltimore and also knows Vick well.

So, some of the candidates the 49ers have begun to focus on all have connections to Vick, who could be back in the NFL as early as this summer after being released from federal prison.

No team has a greater need for a quarterback than the 49ers, but this isn’t to say they will pursue him. But the coaches they’re pursuing now all know and have worked with Vick.

And if that’s not enough of a conspiracy theory, then consider this: On Thursday, the 49ers signed former Falcons CB Jimmy Williams, Vick’s college teammate who lives in Hampton, Va., the next town over from where Vick has a house.

Might all just be coincidence. But might not.

I say if you sign Vick have him play a dif offensive position.

Dude has natural speed and agility that can't be taught. He was the fastest, most agile player in the league before he got locked up. Shit like that doesn't just disappear. He would still be a deadly weapon.

There's a reason Michael Vick was a QB, not a RB. And that is clearly not because he has accuracy or touch or QB vision or ability to read defenses or anything QB-related. Vick would get broken in half as a Running Back. The only reason he ran as well as he did is because teams still had to cover the receivers or they'd be wide open, which left a pretty clear and open field for Vick to be put on the highlight reel at the end of the day. He's fun to watch, but when it's all said and done he cannot throw the goddamn ball. Nobody will ever win a championship with a QB like that, and if I'm not mistaken, the goal is to win a championship.
