How would Patriots' fans react if Vick ends up in Foxboro?

Solomon Wilcots, the CBS and NFL Network analyst, thinks New England fans would not have a problem with a Vick-Patriots marriage.

"Given the Patriots' success, not even their fans would blink twice if they signed Vick,''
says Wilcots.

With help from Wilcots, Jim Corbett of USA Today makes the case for why Vick and the Patriots would be a good fit.

"Bill Belichick would cultivate the talents of Michael Vick much the way Bill Walsh did Steve Young, who was thought to be washed up,'' says Wilcots. "Who better to show Michael Vick the road back than Bill Belichick?

"Vick and Belichick would be a wonderful tandem. I don't think Tom Brady would feel threatened."

You are very very wrong if you think Patriot fans will not punish the team if they sign the savage. My neighbors in Newton are itching to tear into the front office with boycotts and protests if they even hint at it.

I will not be supportive of the pats hiring vicks
and I believe that the nfl commissioner made a big mistake to allow this animal to ever play the game

I think it would be great if Vick was signed. I'd buy his jersey :)
I don't even see what the big deal is about - it is just dogs. Especially since if he were to drunk drive and kill a HUMAN, he would only get 30 days in jail.

any nfl fan who has "positive" about that animal
is a complete EXPLETIVE.

We do not need some POS like him on the team. I, for one, would cancel my NFL Sunday Ticket and not watch any of the games as long as he's on the team. He's only sorry that he got caught, not about what he did. I'm sure he'd do it again in a heartbeat! The drama he'd bring to the team is sooooo not worth it. NO VICK, NO VICK, NO VICK!

if vick signs with the pats, i won't support them. i might periodically support them because i like tom and everyone so much, but the moment i see him play, i will be turned off. not to mention i would be disgusted knowing belichick and the other guys accepted him as a teammate. this is coming from a diehard fan of the pats since 1996. i don't miss a single game.

I would never be a Patriot's fan again!!!! Don't forget that he killed the dogs on his team that did not perform well. That's exactly what he would do to the Patriots. Please remember that it was not just our canine friends, but he used live hanging cats to train the dogs.

I begging you - do not have him get involved with the Patriots.

I would welcome Vick with open arms. I'd bring him to my house for dinner and introduce him to my own dog. You can't be a Pats fan if you would "disown" them for any reason. People seem to forget, Brandon Meriweather, one of the top prospects on the team, stomped on many players who were on the ground while playing college ball. He was also involved in an incident where he fired a gun 3 times and an unidentified person. Yet the Pats and their fans were fine with it, I actually like him better for it.
Anyways this is about Vick. I have always liked Michael Vick. He is a fantastic ball player. He can throw like Matt Cassel and he can run like Kevin Faulk, maybe better. How would he hurt the Patriots I ask?
I don't agree with dog fighting, but that's really besides the point. But he went to jail for it and doesn't do it anymore. At least he wasn't playing for the Pats when he got caught.
