If you're wanting more fodder for speculation on the St. Louis Rams quarterback front, here's some fuel for the fire.
Michael Vick told local sports talk radio ESPN 101 that he could have a real impact in St. Louis, going so far as to reach out to GM Billy Devaney. Check it out:
I think I can be the difference maker on any team, especially a team like the St. Louis Rams, who need a lot of help and will get it based on their ownership and the general manager (Billy Devaney) they have who is a great guy and I know from Atlanta.
All that probably means bupkis right now. Word is the Eagles are asking for a second round pick, a hefty price tag when you've got the first pick of the second round.
It still seems unlikely that the Rams would make a trade for Vick, unless they're actively collecting former Eagles backup QBs.
UPDATE: And we've got more drama on the Eagles QB situation as it relates to the Rams and the NFC West.
Sal Paolantonio (what a great war movie name: "Paolantonio, let's take this hill!") of ESPN was on a sports talk radio program in Philadelphia and said that interest in Michael Vick has "dried up." He mentioned the Rams specifically, along with the Bills.
And on the larger NFC West, the Seahawks have reportedly been making frequent contact with the Eagles about the possibility of trading for either Donovan McNabb or Kevin Kolb, with intimation from Paolantonion that new head coach Pete Carroll wants to win now. Such a strategy seems a little precarious, Scott Linehan inherited an aging team operating under the same mentality and look how that turned out.

Vick
He’s just making the rounds but we don’t need a egotistical inaccurate passer on our team.
Not only that
but by his continuing to talk about this, he’s creating a very uneasy situation for himself in Philly.
Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid.

Agreed- Go after Cambell instead
Vic has gone to the dogs!

Campbell of the Redskins?
He would cost us a first and third to sign him under the tender the Redskins used. Are you sure you want to pay anything like that for him?
Vick desperately wants out of Philly
His recent bonus, while a sweet 1.5 mil, all but guarantees his roll stays the same if he remains in Philly: a seldom used gimmick guy. Kolb is the Eagle QB of the future and would be the guy if McNabb either leaves town or goes down with a long term injury.
Vick will say very flattering things to try to get a little attraction from teams he could actually start for but it’s only talk.
Take also this quote where he says about the Eagles,
“The entire organization knows I want to be a starter.”
Yeah, I imagine they do. That might be the reason they are finally forced to ship him outta there. And here where he says
“It would be fairly hard to return to the Eagles as a backup”
Well damn, you just got 1.5 million form the Eagles. so much for being grateful for a second chance. All of a sudden now it’s hard to play for the team that pulled you out of the gutter, huh? ok.
No Michael Vick in a Rams uniform, please.
Anderson is even more inaccurate than Vick,
if that’s possible. He had one good year, followed by two terrible ones. He lost his job to Brady Quinn. Enough said!
What about Quinn?
If the Browns are willing to move him wouldn’t that be a start for solidifying the QB position? What would it take, a third round pick? That way the Rams can take Suh/McCoy, get an impact LB or DE in the second round and have Quinn.
Not all bad.

I don't think Quinn can be had for just a pick now
I can’t see how they’d be willing to have no QB’s at all, even going into the draft. You have to have some kind of veteran on your roster.

Just heard they signed Seneca Wallace, so there's another veteran backup
So maybe they woud give up Quinn for a pick. Kinda strange Cleveland now has 2 backup QB’s. Wonder what they’re thinking

I wouldn't give our 3rd round pick for him.
Way too high of a pick.

With Bulger's broken leg
that might be an intersting competition….

Vick...?
We could get Vick, TO, Pacman and change our uniforms black as the new bad boys club in the NFL
Regardless of how he is now, I just don’t think Spags wants all that comes with Vick, protesters and and extra media attention.
All things considered...
I would MUCH rather have the Vick media attention than the media attention, or lack thereof, that comes from being the laughing stock of the league. I don’t know about you guys but it’s no fun telling people you’re a Rams fan. They simply look at me and wait for me to say “I’m joking!”….but it never comes. It’s pretty pathetic…
On this team, we are all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

Earlier post.
I could care less what anyone thinks.I’m proud of my 34 year loyalty to the Rams.So you would sell your soul to pacify other people’s opinion?Sad.If you will read the earlier post you will realize that he hasn’t changed and he is an ungrateful jerk to the eagles.I’d rather be 0-16 than have trash like him on my team.
THE MAN HAS A WINNING RECORD
No matter how u feel about him as a person. The guy can win in this league. His record as a QB is better than anyone on our roster even with missing 2 years. It just will have to take him to get a starting gig to show all the haters what he can do.
by RamMan1 on Mar 10, 2010 3:53 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Yeah
Because Vick not only played QB but he played safety on D, gunner on the punt teams and kicked field goals for all those Falcons teams.
Win/Loss records are indicative of team not individual talent.

Winning Record
Give me a break.What has he done lately?
Just waiting for an opportunity
Hopefully its with the RAMS !!!

I don't want Vick either .. but I didn't see any protestors when he came to play a game in Oakland
Maybe that says more about Oakland. Nah, I think the protestors have gotten bored with it because he said he was sorry and is doing educational outreach volunteer blah-blah-blah.
When he talks about how it would be “hard” to come back to the Eagles as a back up, despite the fact that they were good enough to give him a second chance when his name was still truly toxic…that kind of thing is a real turn off, for me. I understand he did his time, but I still can’t stand him. He’s selfish and ungrateful
by CoachConnors on Mar 10, 2010 3:45 PM CST up reply actions
I am corrected - there were protestors at his award ceremony in Philly
“Outside, dozens of protesters expressed dismay over his nomination.”
So I guess it does say something about Oakland!

Mike Sando
Speaking of Vick,it’s interesting how Mike " The Seahawk Fan" Sando wants us to pickup this loser.This shows you how bad he wants us to lose and like CoachConnors I hate him.

JUST SAY NO TO VICK
VICK WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE Saint Louis area. The DOG Population would decrease dramatically, the crime rate would increase and yes we would have 1 more piece of SH@T in STL.
