well Vick isn't ready to play in the NFL as a qb, he really should have gone to a division 2AA college. As far as reciever Antwaan Randle El is only 5'10" so i think Vick can play at 6'0"

peppers is hardly done for the season and his latest news is that he is way ahead of schedule. Harrington (although IMO) stinks, would start always ahead of marcus vick. and if c-pep was hurt they would sign someone else to play ahead of vick.

Marcus Vick (MV) is a punk. Pure and simple.

To be more generous, Vick is a very talented kid who happens to be a real problem child. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't think he would last a season with the Dolphins. But, fortunately for him and maybe for the team, he has a good father figure in the form of head coach Nick Saban. Saban won't tolerate any crap. This we all know. I believe Saban can keep him under control... that or Vick will be a pariah of the NFL.

My opinion is this for MV...
--- He'll be on probationary status. Consider MV on his second strike. Third strike and he's out.
--- He won't be a starter, but he won't be a third stringer either. Maybe a backup QB or WR.
--- I don't think Miami would have spent the kind of money necessary to recruit this guy if they didn't think they could get a return on their investment. However, with MV, they are making an investment with a substantially higher degree of risk. But with greater risk comes the potential for greater reward.
--- I think he'll manage to stay out of trouble and survive in the Dolphins. He'll last the season because he knows that this is his one shot. Even he can't be that stupid... but... anything can happen in the NFL (on and off the field).

We'll just have to wait and see.

I say practice squadder until he can show signs of behaving for at least a couple of seasons. after that he could work onto the team if they need a WR. other than that, he should thank his lucky stars that he has an nfl jersey.

Vick may not last long with Dolphins

MIAMI - Quarterback Marcus Vick made his debut with the Dolphins on Friday, but coach Nick Saban said the relationship might not last long.

"It's a date," Saban said after a series of questions about Vick left him borderline apoplectic. "We're not getting married."

In fact, it's doubtful that more than a handful of the 62 players who participated in the first day of the team's rookie minicamp will have a long-term relationship with the Dolphins.

The group included the team's six draft picks, six players who finished last season on Miami's practice squad and nine undrafted free agents signed this week.

The 41 other players were, like Vick, here for what is essentially a three-day tryout. Under league rules, those players can be here for only this weekend. If the Dolphins bring them back, they will have to sign them.

Vick is the highest-profile player of the lot, which also included former St. Louis Rams offensive lineman-turned-tight end Kyle Turley and former New York Giants linebacker Barrett Green. The 6-5 Turley, who looked downright graceful and had perhaps the most impressive day of anyone, has trimmed to 260 pounds after being well over 300 for most of his career.

Still, the focus of the day was Vick, the former Virginia Tech quarterback who was kicked off the team in January for repeated violations of school policy and the law. Vick declared early for the draft, but went undrafted and unsigned.

The 6-foot, 207-pound Vick, who looked decidedly small in the pocket, displayed a slightly sidearm release that led to some inaccurate throws when he went downfield. The Dolphins also lined him up at wide receiver for five plays, and he caught one pass.

However, reading much into that appeared to be a waste of time from Saban's tone. After the morning practice, four of the first six questions Saban received were about Vick before he ultimately lost patience with the topic.
