Niners making move for Vick?

From Adam Schefter of NFL.com:

The 49ers are being secretive about their offensive plans, but its not hard to connect the dots in this case.

The 49ers are interviewing former Falcons head coach Dan Reeves today for their offensive coordinator vacancy. Reeves was Atlantas head coach in 2001, when the team traded for the No. 1 overall draft pick to use on QB Michael Vick.

One day earlier, the 49ers interviewed Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson, who used to coach Vick in Atlanta. And San Francisco also has expressed some interest in former Falcons wide receivers coach Mike Johnson, who coached quarterbacks in Baltimore and also knows Vick well.

So, some of the candidates the 49ers have begun to focus on all have connections to Vick, who could be back in the NFL as early as this summer after being released from federal prison.

No team has a greater need for a quarterback than the 49ers, but this isnt to say they will pursue him. But the coaches theyre pursuing now all know and have worked with Vick.

And if thats not enough of a conspiracy theory, then consider this: On Thursday, the 49ers signed former Falcons CB Jimmy Williams, Vicks college teammate who lives in Hampton, Va., the next town over from where Vick has a house.

Might all just be coincidence. But might not.

Good article. But, that line right there is total bullshit. Shaun Hill is in the better half of the QBs in the league, and if the 49ers don't get that, they're damn stupid.

I can't understand this either. He plays great to finish the year in 2007-08, he gets benched for O'smellingsauce, because he would fit Martz system more. Singletary starts Shaun Hill again, he does great and now they're going to make the same mistake again?

Besides, Vick paid his debt to society, but you really have to wonder if he can go mistake-free from here on out. Especially if you're going to make him your franchise QB right out of prison.

But then again if people remember alot of experts said when vick got out of prison a team might take a chance on him and make him a rb or wr and sometime play qb. I'm sure he will be cheap to sign because he is still paying off his financial debts. So it would be worth it in my mind.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

But what a HORRIBLE PR move that would be.
Vick will be hated all around the league.......and if he doesn't play GREAT, he would be ripped apart.
In my view, he wasn't anything that great to begin with. Yeah, he could run, but his passing skills weren't great.
He sure was no Fran Tarkenton.

I hope they bring him back. For the veteran minimum with no guaranteed money. As a running back. Which is where he belongs anyway. Maybe then people will finally be willing to admit he was overrated.

Disclaimer: I hate run-first quarterbacks. 😃

Dude Shaun Hill sucks. I get to watch every 49er game on tv, because I live in there coverage area. Hill has no arm strength and his accuracy is bad. And he does not move well, but once he gets started he can run a little though.

Anyway this is San Francisco there are a lot of PETA people. You would hear a huge uproar of disapproval if Vick was signed.

Honestly, I don't believe Vick deserves a second chance. Any idiot stupid enough not to be thankful for the success and the publicity that being a top paid sporting athlete brings, and throws it away gambling on dogfighting, shouldn't be entitled to another shot at it.
