Vick, Lewis, Big Ben have all shown a lack of morals and I wouldn't want any of them on the Jets. They are talented players & Lewis & Big Ben are HOF players. However, I've seen other teams put together SB championships without rapists & people who hide murderers & would like to follow their example. Between Vick, Lewis, Big Ben the argument on who was more immoral would come down to which athlete's actions triggered your most personal emotion. On a STUPIDITY level though, Vick stands alone. He didn't just have one moment/night of immorality, he stretched his act for much longer. Vick displayed the intelligence of a moron for a pretty damn long time with no breaks of sanity. He never woke up looked in the mirror & thought to himself ... "Maybe I'm being a dumb fuck & should snap out of it & quit this act". I'm viewing Vick as somebody so stupid that he lowers the entire IQ of an organization. He's the last person I'd want to see under a coach like Rex who gives his players freedom.
Only in American can a man be hated more for killing PITBULLS - who harm more humans than any other dog - more-so than a rapist of fellow humans. Cue the "someone has to teach the dogs their violence!!!" nonsense.
I'm sure if he was out killing dogs that have attacked children noone would hate him. He raised and trained his dogs to fight other dogs and when they can't fight so good he killed them in sadistic fashion. That's a little different, eh. BTW, the point you are trying to make and example are fucking stupid. If you had said Vick was raised thinking that this stuff was okay, and didn't know any better, you might have made a decent point.
Alex Smith, NYJ QB ??? If Kapernick continues to kick-ass, Harbaugh will likely do what is right by Smith (while still getting some draft picks) because he was a QB, too. He will definitely want Smith traded to an AFC team. I can see this happening if the 49'ers will accept a #2 and a next-year #3.
Sweet. Let's go from a QB who has been bottom third in the league (Sanchez) for his career to a QB that has been bottom third in the league (Smith) for even longer. Also, let's continue to trade draft picks for shitty players. Awesome idea.
Alex Smith needs playmakers for him to look decent. If they think about bringing in Smith then they might as well keep Sanchez as a starter.
Alex Smith has played much better football the last two years. He has thrown 13 TDs to only 5 INTs this year; last year, he had 17 TDs and 5 INTs. Not prolific perhaps, but certainly better than Sanchez at the moment. Though I do agree that he wouldn't be enough to turn the Jets around; more of a game manager who can win with a good team around him.
thats mostly the problem with sanchez. no good team around him. it would be more of the same unless other areas are fixed.
Sanchez got to 2 AFCCG's as a game manager with a solid team around him. Specifically, a running game and a defense. We don't need a game manager. We need a game changer at the QB position. Smith is so great, not even a full year after making the NFCCG, they are already benching him. NO. NO. NO.
Fuck no. I wouldnt trade draft picks for him, this team needs to rebuild, not trade away premium picks for a mediocre QB thats only mediocre because he has a great coach, the best OL in the league and great weapons. Fuck that.
Think about this: what could Jim Harbaugh do to Sanchez, if Jim is the HC? Can he turn Sanchez into a better QB?
To the OP: why do you think that Harbaugh replaced Smith with Kaepernick after Smith's last start before the injury was 18 for 19 for 232 yards, 3 TD's and no Int's? Why do you think Harbaugh has chosen to replace Smith with Kaepernick when Smith currently has a 70% completion percentage for the season and a 104 QB rating? Harbaugh knows a good QB when he sees one and he knows Alex Smith is not a good QB, just a product of the system he plays in and the talent that surrounds him. Edited to remove my mini-stroke rant from last night. Apologies.
Of course he could And you'd best bet that Clyde Gates, Chaz Schilens, Lex Hillard, and Konrad Reuland definitely wouldn't be playing along side him.
