The Pittsburgh Steelers bring in Michael Vick

Due to an injury to backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski the Pittsburgh Steelers sign Michael Vick to a one year deal. This late in preseason this a great move, why do I say that? Because at 35 years of age Vick is just being brought in to place some experience behind Ben Roethlisberger.

The Steelers aren’t getting the Atlanta Falcons Vick that could beat teams by himself, but they are getting a great locker room guy who can if need be can still make plays with his arm and legs. This is a low risk move for the Steelers, we all know Ben is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL so why not have a quality backup on the team at a low cost.

I’m personally shocked slight backlash the Steelers have been receiving on social media for the signing of Vick. I know he had an incident with dog’s years ago(not saying it’s a wholesome situation), but the man paid his debt to society and hasn’t had trouble of any similarity since. I guess we need something to be mad about right?

Vick is about to channel his inner Charlie Batch on the Steelers sideline.
