[h=1]Some Steelers fans are furious that their team may sign Michael Vick[/h]
After Steelers quarterback Brad Gradkowski suffered a hand injury against Green Bay during a preseason game, the team met with 35-year-old free agent Michael Vick on Tuesday ? a move that outraged many Steelers fans who refuse to forgive Vick for his involvement in a dog fighting ring.
Vick, who played in 10 games for the Jets last season and threw three touchdown passes, could replace Gradkowski as Ben Roethlisberger?s backup, with former Oklahoma star Landry Jones the only other quarterback currently on the Steelers?

It won't matter, if Vick sniffs the field that means Ben is hurt. Which will end the season right there.
I find it hard to believe there isn't anyone else out there worthy to backup. I'd rather see Landry throw in... I'm more ill that Pouncey is done.

I didn`t think landry looked like a disaster.....he`s green but that`s a given...he`s tall,has a big arm and there are much worse naturally talented back-ups around the league... and you have leveon ball and deangelo Williams to lean on if the passing game gets hinky....

then again,i`m not seeing landry everyday in practice..

I agree, it's not like Vick will salvage the season if Ben goes down. Why not give the young kid the keys. We all know how good Vick is, Landry is a question mark.

And yes Old School the pass rush and secondary will shorten my life this year.
