Vick Is Not For The Steelers

I do believe that when a man convicted of a crime pays his debt to society, that he has every right to re-enter society and make his living in a way he sees fit. I’m just not sure yet about Michael Vick’s fit in the NFL. But I know this, it’s not with the Steelers.

Anyone remember Cedrick Wilson? There’s a guy who got into just a little bit of trouble, and boom, he’s gone. Can you imagine Dan Rooney, or Art Rooney taking on Vick?

There’s only one scenario where I can see the Steelers taking a chance on Vick, and that’s if Charlie Batch goes down for the season again.

Whether it’s right or wrong, Vick will be a target for negative backlash, no matter who signs him. While it’s not like Steelers past and present haven’t had their legal troubles past and present, I just don’t see the Steelers inviting that media circus. Coach Tomlin has a disdain for distractions, and Vick would be a constant distraction.

Some team will eventually bring Vick into the fold I believe, but it’s got to be a team desperate for a quarterback, and the Steelers aren’t there. I wish Vick the best, but not in Pittsburgh. He’s not the right fit.
