5 reasons Michael Vick can lead Minnesota Vikings to Super Bowl
By John Buhler
Michael Vick is visiting the Minnesota Vikings after the Teddy Bridgewater injury. Here are five ways that Vick can lead the Vikings to Super Bowl LI.
The Minnesota Vikings are having to scramble to find a suitable starting quarterback now that Teddy Bridgewater will be out for the season with a dislocated knee and torn ACL. Minnesota could very well go with No. 2 Shaun Hill at the start of the year, but Hill’s inconsistency the last few years might jeopardize the Vikings’ playoff chances before the season even begins.
Minnesota has a top five head coach in Mike Zimmer, one of the best defenses in the NFC, and one of the best running backs to have ever played football in Adrian Peterson. Losing Bridgewater is awful, but the Vikings still have themselves a talented 2016 NFL roster.
For the Vikings to get back to the NFC Playoffs, their front office will need to take a big gamble on a new starting quarterback should Hill be ineffective. There are plenty of quarterbacks the Vikings could consider either in free agency or via trade.
One player that will visit with the club is former Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Michael Vick. Vick hasn’t been with any NFL team this preseason, but can still win games as a viable backup in this league in his mid-30s. Here are five reasons Vick can do the unthinkable and get the 2016 Vikings to the Super Bowl.
