Quaterback Marcus Vick has been kicked off the Virginia Tech football team after he stomped on the left calf of Louisville All-American defensive end Elvis Dumervil during the Jan. 2 Gator Bowl. The school also cited Vick’s numerous legal troubles as justification for their decision.
I like this move. Vick’s actions during the bowl game deserved serious punichment. If this had been an isolated incident, something less severe would have been warrented. But Vick has had too many problems and that sealed his fate.
He’llprobably make himself available for the NFL draft, but I wouldn’t consider drafting him. Just like his brother, he’s more of a runner than a passer, and his brother is much more talented. I don’t see this guy starting at quaterback in the NFL (unless he’s on a really bad team).
