Teams use the practices to evaluate the players on the field and the auditions often lead to contract offers. Whether the Dolphins decide to sign Vick, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick, probably depends on how well he performs this weekend.Dismissed from the Hokies squad in January, for what university president Dr. Charles Steger termed "the cumulative effect of legal infractions and unsportsmanlike play," Marcus Vick was not among the 255 players selected in the draft. Some teams inquired about him in the two days since the draft, but none offered a free agent contract.There is a possibility that, if the Dolphins don't offer Vick a contract and no other NFL club demonstrates interest in him, he might have to consider the CFL as an option for beginning his professional career.Miami lists just three quarterbacks -- recently acquired veteran Daunte Culpepper, untested veteran Cleo Lemon and Brock Berlin -- on its roster. Culpepper continues to rehabilitate from three torn ligaments in his right knee and it is not certain yet if the former Minnesota Vikings starter will be recovered for the start of the regular season. Lemon, a two-year veteran obtained last year in a trade with San Diego, has yet to play in a regular-season game. Berlin, viewed as a developmental-type prospect, is currently playing in the NFL Europe League with the Hamburg Sea Devils.The Dolphins have been attempting for weeks to complete the addition of former Detroit starter Joey Harrington, but the Lions have balked at Miami's trade offers.Beyond his off-field issues, Vick also lacks experience, and he appeared in just 24 games during his college tenure. He was redshirted as a freshman in 2002 and suspended from the team for the entire 2004 season. Vick split playing time in 2003 and then started all 13 games in 2005.Vick completed 207 of 346 passes for 2,868 yards, with 19 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions. At the combine workouts in February, he measured 6-feet and 200 pounds and he has been time at 4.47 in the 40-yard dash.Len Pasquarelli is a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com.</div>If he changes his attitude, I think he'll turn out to be a great player. I don't know if he'll be better than his brother in terms of playmaking, but i'm sure he can be a better QB than him.
He's not a playmaker like his brother, but hes light-years ahead of Michael when it comes to actually passing the football. He actually has accuracy. He could be a good player for the Dolphins if he shapes up, but somehow I doubt that happens.
No wonder no one has drafted him. Look at all the things he's done the past two years. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Marcus Vick's on- and off-field problems since he enrolled at Virginia Tech in 2002:VickSept. 2, 2003Suspended for one game by coach Frank Beamer for undisclosed reason.Feb. 17, 2004Arrested without incident and charged with four misdemeanors -- three for allegedly allowing the underage girls to have alcohol and one for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old at a January party.

If he does goes here he will get some good advice from Culpepper. Even though Daunte has some skeletons in his closet he still is a great QB that is very well known.
he's fucked up a lot.. but if he has talent he should at least be given a chance. If he doesn't grow the fuck up then he's out no doubt about it.
