The movements and potential movements of Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III
have been well covered this offseason, which is not something that you
can say about one of their predecessors as a quarterback whose ability
to make plays with his legs.
Michael Vick was last seen on the field in Week Six when he started for the Steelers in place of an injured Ben Roethlisberger
and went 3-of-8 for six yards against the Cardinals. Vick also ran five
times for 47 yards before leaving the game with a hamstring injury that
led to Landry Jones getting a turn under center.
Vick started three games and played in four overall for Pittsburgh
and finished the year 40-of-66 for 371 yards, two touchdowns and an
interception. That hasn’t led to any action for him in free agency at
this stage and Vick realizes an injury or other unexpected development
could be the only thing that changes that landscape. If it does, he says
he feels able to answer the call.
“I’m 35, about to turn 36,” Vick said, via Newport News Daily Press. “I’ve got one more dedicated season in my blood, if somebody needs me to come in. But I’m kind of happy where I am right now.”
Vick signed with Pittsburgh in late August in the wake of Bruce Gradkowski’s
injury, so it’s not out of the question that he’ll find a way to
continue a career that’s taken plenty of twists and turns since he went
first overall in 2001.
