I had a good pick in Dan McGwire (tallest NFL QB ever) but he was drafted in 91.

Good luck.


our only difference is jay cutler vs mike vick

Well my argument for Jay Cutler is that he was on the Indiana all-state team and i didnt even see anything about Mike playing basketball. He might have, but i dont think he was as good as Jay because Jay was all-state and if Mike would have done something great in basketball i think we would know.


Cutler might have played basketball, but Vick is an extremely rare athletic talent. Vick has good size for a PG at 6 feet, 215 pounds. Cutler is taller by three inches, but much too heavy at 233 pounds. That could end up weighing him down.

High school is very different from the NBA. Mike Vick has many advantages over Cutler, including:

Speed: We all know how fast Vick is on the football field. He kills Cutler there.

Playmaking ability: You've seen, I'm sure, the inhuman plays Vick can make on the football field. Cutler, although he's talented, hasn't really shown us too much in terms of athleticism. Basketball is an athletic game, and Vick's got Cutler.


mike is more athletic but jay can ball. reggie bush is athletic and he isnt any good at basketball. i would rather take a guy that i know can ball than a guy i think can ball.


Jay Cutler COULD play ball in high school. But the NBA is A LOT different than high school. There are high school power forwards that are 6'5''. That's not something you'll see in the NBA.

Michael Vick has all the intagibles: good size, speed, and he's a very well-known playmaker. That should translate well to basketball.

Vick should be on there. Yeah he killed dogs but he was one hell of an athlete and fits the criteria he has to be there.

dude as i already said
jay cutler was all-state
mike was nothing
if mike wasnt good enough to be good in high school what makes you think that he could ball in pros?

Mike was focused on football in his youth, Cutler was torn thus an average BB player and an average QB.

If he was all state, I doubt he was an average BB player.
