He went undrafted,maybe someone will pick him up as a free agent,do you think he can handle the NFL if at all he does get signed?He had some problems with VT but I think he has the potential to be good.
His situation is worse than Maurice Clarrett's. Both talented players, but both immature and compete idiots. In saying that, some team will take a chance on him. He is really talented and some say he can be better than his brother Michael Vick. If he gets his head on straight, he just might do so. If not, he's not going to make it.
I saw today that he is going to Dolphins mini camp. They only have one other QB other than Culpepper so they need all the help they can get.
We have two other, but yeah he'll be attending our rookie mini camp this weekend. Can't hurt us I guess, the kid has talent and we need a decent backup QB still, maybe even one that can play if Pep is still injured.
He's stuck in a right situation. With all the crap he has done. But , he deserves a chance. If you watched the last pick of the draft, everyone was chanting his name. Then the guy got booed, kind funny
He will eventually make it to the NFL I think if he stops his attitude problem. He has already gotten in trouble with the law for possession of weed, didnt he point a gun at someone? and by the NCAA for stepping on that dude.He is labeled as a trouble maker right now and I doubt many teams would want that guy in their locker room right now, regardless of his skill.

I think he'll make it to the NFL, but he won't have nearly the career that he would've gotten if he didn't do all the stupid stuff
The only team I see giving him a roster spot would be a team with a hard-ass coach that wouldnt take any nonsense. Maybe he could find a roster spot in Dallas...
If any team takes a gamble on Marcus, even though they didn't draft them with the last pick, I think it will be the Raiders, they always seem to take guys with problems, and Aaron Brooks is not that good, he could go to Oakland.
If the Dolphins somehow aquire Harrington he should just forget it. Maybe he can catch a break in Atl?

I think people overreact about his ''attitude problem'', I dont think he has one. Yes he's got in trouble with the law, but we dont say Ray Lewis isnt a good teammate because he kills people(allegedly)There's no real evidence he has an attitude problem.

He's gotten kicked off the team and his teammates say he has Terrell Owens' attitude where he thinks he's above the team. Isn't the fact that he's gotten in big trouble with the law signal an attitude problem, he acts like a child.

As far as playing on a team, he has no issues with his teammates, he was suspended for violating the law, not holding out like T.O. and also, Many of T.O.'s Teammates have said he's a great guy, despite off the field issues. You cant judge someone you dont know firstly, and then secondly, for something they did off the field. If we did, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan must have been attitude problems also, and what did they accomplish in their careers other then 11 championship rings, and numerous MVPs?
