Packers and Vick

Can this be true, a franchise that has been looked up to for years and years in the NFL could think about having interest in Michael Vick?

The Green Bay Packers won’t rule it out, but can you see Michael Vick playing in COLD WEATHER? I can’t see it possible.

Green Bay, Wisconsin has always been in FOOTBALL the NFL place to play, and when you think of the Green Bay Packers you think of the great Bart Starr, the outstanding, Brett Favre.

Asked whether Green Bay might be interested in the scandal-tainted quarterback, general manager Ted Thompson did not rule it out.
They are not in hot pursuit of Vick, so his comments were taken like a glass of water rolling down your shirt sleeve, he was not clear on whether they were sincere and had a significant level of interest in Vick.
“What is the answer that we give to the questions like this? We’re always looking to improve our team” Thompson went on to say in a interview. “We look at all options at all times. He went on to say that he could not care to speculate in terms of the odds or the percentages of (signing Vick) or anything like that.”
Vick has been conditionally reinstated in the NFL after completing a 23 month federal sentence for running a dog fighting ring. The Commissioner said that Vick can sign with a team that wants him, and begin playing by week six of the NFL season.
More than two dozen NFL teams have said they’re NOT interested in signing the 29 year old Vick. The others have declined comment or taken a stance like that of the Packers.
.While it’s hard to imagine the Packers inviting another major distraction to training camp after enduring the circus like atmosphere of last summer’s Brett Favre unretirenent saga, the case could be made that Vick could be a valuable asset.
Green Bay has a highly regarded young starting quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, but has a pair of inexperienced second year players, Matt Flynn and Brian Brohm, backing him up Vick could bring experience to the position if there is an injury to Rodgers, who played through a significant shoulder injury to start all 16 games last season.
And while the Packers haven’t used the so-called “wildcat” formation, Vicks running ability could add a second threat to their backfield.
Vick had one of his biggest career moments in Lambeau Field, leading the Atlanta Falcons to a 27-7 playoff upset of the Packers in a wild card game on Jan. 4, 2003
I can not see a city that has such a NFL history and character, every wanting to take Michael Vick and all the troubles he will be bringing.
The Packers are known as winners, what would happen when Michael Vick was not able to throw because his hands got cold, or worse what would happen when he tried to run and scramble and he slipped on the snow, you would have a angry crowd wanting the heads of the Packers coaches as well as the top brass.

ENOUGH SAID, I don’t believe Green Bay or their fans do not need the outside interference from a Michael Vick.
