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.

Even if we aren't going to win it with our current QBs, why the hell would you go out and sign another QB that won't make it? If you're gonna sign another QB, make it one that will potentially take you where you need to go.

Have any of you actually seen Vick throw the fuckin ball, or have you just seen highlights on ESPN and decided he's a sick ass player? The guy is not a good QB and he never will be. If the Niners sign him then so be it, but all of you will eventually see what I'm talking about when we fail with him at the helm.

Hill throws the ball a lot better than Vick. Vick just has arm strength. No accuracy, no vision. We already have a good running back, we don't need a QB to run the damn ball.

Vick is the most over-hyped and overrated player in the history of the league, and a lot of you are clearly falling for that hype. I don't want Vick and if any of you actually want this team to contend you wouldn't want his ass either.

On top of that, the beat writers and other media are already saying Vick wouldn't beat out Shaun Hill anyway because he hasn't played in 2 years, plus the fact that Hill throws the ball far more accurately.

Per Matt Barrows (49ers beat writer):

Vick rumors: all bark and no bite

The 49ers have high hopes for a quarterback who was picked first in the draft and whose career has been on ice for the last year and a half. But his last name is Smith, not Vick. A couple of reports yesterday looked at some of the 49ers' recent moves - interviewing Hue Jackson and Dan Reeves, signing Jimmy Williams - and connected the dots to Michael Vick, the former Falcons quarterback currently behind bars for dog fighting. What the reports didn't look at was:

1. The 49ers' first choice for offensive coordinator was Scott Linehan, who has no ties to Vick.
2. Good character has been a top criterion for the 49ers in recent years. Guys who run dog-fighting operations from their homes don't exactly fit that description.
3. Mike Singletary doesn't suffer fools. "Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them. Can't do it. I want winners!"
4. The 49ers don't think their quarterback situation is as dreary as everyone else does.
5. It would be asinine to hire an offensive coordinator based on the possibility that he could help you land a quarterback who hasn't thrown a pass since 2006, is currently incarcerated and who may or may not be suspended for the rest of his life.
6. And one more thing - the 49ers say they have no intention of pursuing Vick.

He's never thrown for 3,000 yards (which aint SHIT these days), his career completion percentage is 53.8% (LMAO) and his QB rating is a whack ass 75.7 for his career.

By comparison Shaun Hill has played in 12 games (3/4 of a season, and 2 of those games were only halves so it's the equivalent of 11 games total) and has thrown for 2,547 yards (safe to say after 16 games of action he will be well past 3,000 yards as he averages over 200 yards per game), has a 2-1 TD-INT ratio at 18-9, 64.0% completion percentage and a QB rating of 90.5.

Mike Vick's numbers outside of his rushing are complete trash. We already have a good running back, we don't need Vick to run for us.

i see it like this. you need mojo. you need to put asses in the seats of this "new stadium", and you need a new life. mike vick is not steve young, but if he had a chance to perform in a non pass heavy offense where his feet could be utilized, he could succeed. he will still be one of the most mobile qb's in the nfl. and in an offense the niners will have in the future, he could be an asset.

i like it. will it happen? not too sure. but i do like the idea.

Signing Mike Vick is not going to help. There are far more 49er fans on 49erswebzone.com than there are here, and the overwhelming majority of them do not want Mike Vick on this team. You can get more of an overall idea of what the 49er fan base is thinking by looking there than here.

On top of that, THE NINERS ALREADY SAID THEY ARE NOT PURSUING VICK. So why bother continuing this discussion?

The NFL is urging the 49ers to explore sharing a new stadium with their cross-bay neighbors, the Raiders, hoping the Bay Area could follow the lead of the New York Giants and the New York Jets, who have joined forces to privately finance the most expensive stadium in U.S. sports history.

The owners of the Giants and Jets say they, too, believe joining forces may be the best hope for the Bay Area's two teams to build a new stadium, especially in such dire economic times. The $1.6 billion Jets-Giants stadium in New Jersey will use new video technology to broadcast each team's colors and logo throughout the stadium for home games — allowing two rival franchises with different histories and fan bases to feel at home.

The 49ers have not begun formal discussions with the Raiders, but the team plans to expand the scope of its environmental review in Santa Clara for a stadium that could accommodate two teams playing at least 20 games a year.

"The NFL has encouraged us to explore the possibility of a two-team facility to address the economics" of building a new stadium, Jed York, the 49ers president, said in an interview with the Mercury News last week.

Rumor mill heating up for Housh
T.J. Houshmandzadeh | Bengals | Interested: 49ers? Seahawks?
31 year-old Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh will become a free agent this offseason, and you can add two new teams to the list of his potential destinations.
Pro Football Weekly has said that the Seattle Seahawks have expressed interest in signing Houshmandzadeh, given their vast needs at wide receiver as well as Housh's familiarity with the Pacific Northwest, since he played at Oregon State in college.

The San Francisco 49ers are also in the hunt, according to a blog entry by Matt Maiocco of the Press Democrat. Maiocco indicates that the team will focus on the tackle, wide receiver and safety positions during the offseason, and that in addition to Houshmandzadeh, they could also make a play for potential free agents Julius Peppers and Terrell Suggs.
