Wilson is banged up, i think he should sit this week before he gets banged up even worse. Vick is still a free agent and nobody is picking him up. I watched him play with the steelers a little last year while big ben was banged up and hes still got a little left in the tank , he can still play. Wouldnt be a bad idea to start him against the saints D and keep him on the roster. Plus, its mike frikkin vick.

Game winning drive rom last year, dude can still play if needed.

Because he just isn't good anymore.

And he doesn't know our system...

Better off with Boykin and a heavy dose of the run.
Vick is a vet, boykin is a rookie without a single start in his career. Vick is still capable of making big plays, hes better than boykin at this stage, boykin might make some game changing rookie mistakes.

Agreed.
The only guy that makes any sense in my mind would be TJack, and I'm not fond of that idea either.

If RW can't go, play our #2 guy and make appreciate adjustments.

He was dreadful in Pittsburgh. Landry Jones, who is nothing special himself, looked much better. He just doesn't have it anymore.

Also, if we need an emergency QB, TJack makes more sense than Vick.

There is a reason why he is available.

And again...he doesn't know our playbook. He would be weeks away from being marginally ready.

Boykin is the better option for us, rookie or not. He has been in our program for 6 months now.

No. You need to do a better job with current events.

He hasn't been good in a long time. He was pretty awful last year filling in for Ben. And tbh, if we signed him today, what good would that do? For him to pick up the offense and get on the same page with the receivers, it would take weeks.

Do people understand that this isn't the NBA or MLB, where you can just add a new player and put him in the lineup right away?

Strike 2 on you. He was cleared of all charges, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Yeah, happened back in August. I also believe we need a veteran backup QB.

Because Vick is no better than Boykin at this point. Veteran or not.
