Nothing sadder than wasted talent. To think that this kid was a better passer than his brother to. It just shows you how stupid people can be. Your a QB and you carry around a gun, thats really smart. There is only one word to describe this kid. LOSER

If you throw enough shit against the wall Dryden, some of it is bound to stick. :biggrin:
Well obviously. Prediciting Marcus Vick would wind up in jail ranks right up there with projecting Michigan to finish 9-3 and lose their bowl game on the boldness meter.

I mean, way to go out on a limb. Well done Carnac. :tongue2:

Marcus Vick arrested after saying he'll go pro

Vick, 21, turned himself in after police in Suffolk, Va., issued a warrant for his arrest, saying Vick pointed a weapon at a teenage male and two others in the parking lot at a McDonalds on Sunday night, the statement said.
The junior quarterback had been kicked off the team at Virginia Tech on Friday for his moves on and off the field, including an incident in the Jan. 2 Toyota Gator Bowl, when he was caught on tape stomping on the left calf of Louisville All-American defensive end Elvis Dumervil after a tackle.
Vick was suspended from school in 2004 because of several legal problems, and came under intense scrutiny this week after replays of his actions against Dumervil. Vick claimed it was accidental, but hurt his cause by claiming to have apologized to Dumervil, the NCAA sacks leader. Dumervil said he received no such apology.
The last straw came Friday, even as Beamer was preparing to offer Vick the option of accepting a two-game suspension or deciding to leave Virginia Tech.
A fax sent to Steger's office disclosed that Vick had been stopped for driving 38 mph in a 25 mph zone and driving with a revoked or suspended license on Dec. 17. Vick had told Beamer about the ticket for driving on a suspended license on Dec. 19, Beamer said, but had never mentioned to anyone that he'd also been caught speeding.
Vick's license had been taken away in August 2004 when he was cited for reckless driving and marijuana possession, but had been reinstated until a friend driving a car owned by Vick was pulled over and found to not have insurance, Beamer said.
In 24 career games, Vick threw for 2,868 yards, 19 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He also ran 184 times for 492 yards and six TDs.
A $10,000 bond was set for Vick.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

he had a better arm... but he was much slower than his brother mobility wise. I don't think NFL scouts are buying all of the hype that ESPN sold, especially after being exposed a couple of times against reasonable talent.

Its all a moot point anyway, as we have seen with MoC and others once a pattern like this is established they just can't ever stop. He'll fuck his life up good style here shortly and then get to see what its like without football to bail his ass out.

I predict more total months served than total yards gained in his future.


Talk about amazingly easy predicitons.

I thought he'd for sure make it to a SuperBowl party with his bro, if not the summer time before melting down.

Before you jump on the bandwagon,see the 09 thread

Does anyone else think that part of the Vick problem may have to do with how much attention, energy, and money is thrown at these young fools?

What do we expect when we shower all this focus on these athletes starting when they are only 12-13. One need look no further than Lebron etc( not that he is a bad guy)...These kids grow up getting into trouble doing bad things and no one makes them accountable for their actions because of their athletic talents on the field. Maybe if we disciplined them earlier on they could learn a lesson.

As a former coach in what is considered an outlaw program...no pun intended living in AZ and all...I WOULD BET ALL ME MONEY on the fact that Vick has had SEVERAL previous transgressions that were handled in house by the coaches...including his hs coach all because he could run and throw...SO, if they had drawn the line previously...we wouldnt be here talking about what an idiot he is...because, to be fair the blame does deserved to be evenly distributed amongst fans, coach's, and parents!
