So your going to start off a reply by insulting my grammar? Way to start off a friendly debate. Excuse me sir or maam but this is an internet forum intended for entertainment purposes and isn't an English nor Grammar class, ok? Only people with insecurities insult people over the net so, I think I'll just end that there and continue the debate in a "friendly" manner, ok? So please excuse my horrible grammar or whatever it is.

Reports like this come out anytime during the season. Remember the Buffalo Bills when they had the Quarterback controversy with Doug Flutie and Rob Johnson(and the Bills were the NFC East champions that year) or the, or the San Diego Chargers situation with Philip Rivers and Drew Brees(I say both men are doing well for themselves.)? The point is if you have two men who can be the number one man there are going to be reports and rumors going around and back. By the way there was stories about Vick not being with the Falcons on ESPN's Around the Horn, Pardon the Interuption, and even on sportscenter today.

I see the Falcons going through a few more coaches, if that's what it takes..
No Vick is not the most marketable player in the NFL, Peyton Manning is the man that holds that title. Manning brings in over ten million in endorsement money alone and, sells merchandise as well as Vick. But Vick isn't the only problem with the falcons at the moment. The offensive line has never really been anything to write home about and the recievers have been dropping a lot of balls lately.

I think I mentioned that in my last post already so, we do agree on this.

Schaub is one of the best back up quarterbacks in the NFL today. Yes, there are several teams interested in the man and, I just don't see both he and Vick on the same team next year.

About the Ravens dynasty, did you see their Super Bowl team? They were complete that season with Trent Dilfer behind the Quarterback(yes I do know he had one hell of a defense that set him up and Jamal Lewis in the back field). Steve McNair has really helped the Ravens on the offensive side of the ball this year and, is the right man for that job but he is getting older and most likely will not be around much longer(I give him five years at most... two if he gets injured...). What I was saying is that Schaub can come into the game and continue to do the things McNair has been able to do and that is give the Ravens fourth Quarter victories(something Kyle Boiler and Alex Wright couldn't do..).

Again I can't say I agree with you on that neither.
