My Three Teams that Vick could Play for in 2013


With the Eagles being as bad as they have been this year, with Vick being part of the issue before his concussion I do not think he will be back next year, Andy Reid’s job is another part of my thought as to why this will happen.  Here are the three teams I can see him on.
Oakland Raiders- They love quarterbacks with checkered pasts and also that have a strong arm.  So Vick will be a perfect fit for them, if Vick can stay healthy this team has a shot at the division title, and his ability to get the ball out fast means the receivers in Oakland can flourish, they have a good amount of speed and skill at that spot.  He will also help in the running game with his style of play, now McFadden will not be the only player capable of consistently moving the ball for the offense when he is healthy.
Positives: Helps offense in the run game and passing as well, it is an improvement from Carson Palmer.   He can also help Tyrell Pryor as well; they are both very athletic with cannon arms.
Negatives: Health, sometimes silly play making and selfish play making as well which can be a problem on a team such as the raiders.

Buffalo Bills- A spread offense and solid offensive line are keys to success for a quarterback such as Vick, and again the running game can benefit.  If Fred Jackson, C.J. Spiller and Vick can all stay healthy they have a chance to be a big problem in the running game.  That is not all, the Bills like to spread the ball out as well, Vick can play very well in this system, Chan Gailey has worked with athletic quarterbacks before, but Vick is very talented which puts him above the others.  The offensive line has been playing very well this year, which is something Vick has not had in Philadelphia, this season is a perfect example of that.  Vick will also be able to run when plays break down, Ryan Fitzpatrick has made some poor throws when he could run and make some positive gain, Vick will run whenever he wants which gives him an edge.
Positives: Great fit for the spread offense, will be a major help in the run game.
Negatives: Health, Gailey’s record also speaks for itself in the NFL; AFC East is a tough division.

New York Jets- Ground and pound is what Rex Ryan loves the most aside from a knock your teeth out defense.  The Jets running game has been atrocious at times since the 2009 and 2010 seasons where it was ranked in the top two for rushing yards.  Vick can be a great fit for this team as long as Tony Sparano is still the offensive coordinator they will have a great shot and using him in the ways he can help the Jets win.
Positives: Can fit in Sparano’s offensive system, bolsters the running game, big arm that can stretch the field when the Jets want to throw.
Negatives: Jets do not have a lot of weapons on either side of the ball; Rex Ryan will put a lot of pressure on him as well.  Locker room could be an issue and so could playing in the world’s media capital.
