It shows Beamer is a stand up guy. It takes guts to do that to the star Qb. It may hurt them in the short term, but it will really help them in the long term. I always thought Vick had problems with the TEAM thing. He may be Michael Vicks brother, but that is where the comparison stops.

Yes! After that drug suspension, I said Beamer should've kicked him off of the team. But, I changed my mind during the course of the season and my opinion was swayed to give him a second chance. After watching him first-hand on many occasions, this guy is as bad a teamate as Terrell Owens will ever be. I could tell he didn't get that team concept like Spence said. Beamer gave Vick his second chance, and he failed. What kind of moron stomps on another player's leg? You have spikes on there you know! Talk about cruel!

This is a shame. Marcus Vick has loads of talent and it is a pity he has made the choices he has made.
His mother is as fine a person as you will ever meet. I'm sure she is heartbroken.
Don't even compare him to his brother. Michael Vick is a player and never conducted himself the way his brother has chosen to do on a football field. He was awesome on the field ...... I know ..... I watched the Mountaineers try to chase, contain, confuse, beat and everything else him during his college days at Virginia Tech.
I will assure you that Coach Beamer is probably the most disappointed. He gave him chance after chance and was let down. Coach Beamer put his hard earned personal reputation and the hard earned reputation that he built for Virginia Tech on the line for this guy.
There's no one else to blame for this.

There is something to be said for not yanking him in the middle of the game, I guess. Kevin Rogers, the QB coach, said he considered telling Frank to do it but didn't want to hurt the rest of the team. Good excuse? I don't know.
I think there was also some disbelief that it was a purposeful incident. I mean, my God, it was just so plain stupid!
After the game and over the next 96 hours, Beamer has probably watched taped replays of that incident 7,000 times.
I think we could have won without him. And if we'd lost without him and BECASUE of him, it would have sent a very clear message not to ever, ever, ever pull that crap again. Now, that message has been sent.

He is 6-2, 254 and runs a 4.75 forty. He is from NJ and has a huge upside. We tried very hard for this kid. He will be a star.
We got Robert Rose from Cleveland (Glenville) He is 6-4, 240 and runs a 4.70 forty, but he has only been playing football for 2 years, so he is very raw. Adjepong should be able to get some PT around time for conference play to start. Very nice pick up.
He is a smart kid also, no problems qualifying.
