Look, Im not going to say that Michael Vick will or won't help the Buffalo Bills, he may. He may also crash and burn. The latter to me is more likely because if the Bills or Vick thinks that he is the answer to all things turning around here in Buffalo then they have both gone to the dogs.

Vick has been used minimally in Philadelphia and there has to be a reason for it. There is something in his game they don't like.

The Bills if they choose to go by Tony Dungy's advice need to seriously get their head examined. First, if that is the case, then make Dungy coach and he lives or dies with Vick as his quarterback. At least then if the quarterback doesn't work out the Bills still have a quality head coach on the sidelines to groom another rookie QB.  

The Bills shouldn't think of touching Vick until they fix some things in the football department. First and foremost is Russ Brandon is not a GM, hes a marketing guy and his decisions have shown that. His decisions on signings in the offseasons have proven that he markets first and makes good football decisions second. He signs football players to fill seats regardless of the impact they have on the field.

Terrell Owens is a perfect example. He was signed more to sell tickets than to perform and since he hasn't performed the Bills don't care as long as warm bodies keep coming.

The Bills if the front office stays the way it is, they will try to sign Vick and if successful in doing so will sellout next year too without addressing the real problems. They might as well spit on the minds of the smart fans in this community. They need a GM who knows football. This team needs to start from the GM down, then the GM can pick his coach and the head coach can pick his quarterback. If that happens and all roads still lead to Michael Vick so be it.

This team's problems run much deeper than just bringing in Michael Vick, it starts from the top, if things stay the way they are, Vick is lame brained scam to sell tickets for next season. What do they ultimately have to lose except another 9 games and a mediocre, non playoff 7-9 season? Where have we seen that before?
