We always say that competition is healthy, and nowhere is that coda more exemplified than in sports.
So if the Jets are really interested in Michael Vick, then they probably think he can either compete for or win the starting job at quarterback. So that’s a good thing. Right?
What else do the Jets have going on at the position? While we all agree Geno Smith didn’t have the ’82 Chargers at his side last season, he didn’t exactly make fans forget Joe Namath. Maybe Smith wins the job, anyway. But he won’t win or lose the gig based on someone the Jets bring in because franchise QBs aren’t free agents.
Sure, Vick brings baggage. Just because he’s out of jail doesn’t mean most of us forgot how he got there. But for better or worse, it seems the world has moved on. So if we judge Vick based entirely on his football prowess, he has powers that Smith doesn’t.
