CTBengalsFan Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 [quote name='staticx682000' timestamp='1313684323' post='1017218'] I heard on Cowturd that its was possible Tony Dungy was the one that steered Vick to Philly. [/quote] That was purely speculation on his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I thought I remembered hearing that Dungy thought Philly was the best destination back in the day when he signed. Maybe I'm just making things up, but I imagine Dungy probably had a hand in the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah but the reality is the Eagles were the best place for Vick as much as it makes me mad. Vick with Ocho and then TO would have been a bad mix me thinks.

staticx682000 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 [quote name='Jamie_B' timestamp='1313684551' post='1017222'] What is Dungy's relationship with the people in Philly? [/quote] It was just Colins opinion. He thought dungy was like a unoffical spokes person for the nfl, he had reached out a helping hand to vick or vick reached out to dungy.He thinks dungy may have told him stay away from teams like the raiders,bills, and bengals.They are not your best fit.Philly has a good owner and coach and they might be able to coach him up and make a better nfl player out of him. Just Colins opinion.I really don't know about dungys relationship with the people of Philly, but i do know Goodell didn't even have to let Vick back in the league.

cwing Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Anyone hear this yet. Vick was offered a 2 year deal and starters job to sign with the Bengals but NFL advised Vick against it?

[/quote] From page 1 of this thread ... [quote name='oldschooler' timestamp='1313630883' post='1016884'] The Bengals offered Vick a contract in 2009. Last year was 2010. That is the dumbest damned rumor I have heard yet. No offense to you at all. Because I have heard it before. Even the Lions announcers said something about it. Why would Carson ask to be traded right after winning the division? Why would MB agree to it? Do you really think MB would agree to it then reneg. And then not trade him after such a shitty season? Then act like he was wronged by Carson? It makes no sense what so ever. [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
