I know this question is a bit late because Favre recently declined to sign up with  the Vikings, but who knows, by the time Vick's Suspension is over, favre may have gone into and out of retirement several more times.  For me this is one of the easier decisions I have made in a long time.

Vick...there's much more intrigue as to what he has left in him.  Favre is a known quantity.
Yup

I agree Redz.  This kinda came to me on my way into work when a caller to WEEI said that Vick should spend his life in jail and another said lifetime ban from football

Vick.

I never want to see Favre on a field again.  I couldn't deal with another media lovefest.

The Favre retirement/not unretiring "news" flashes on ESPN reminded me of the old SNL bit with Generalisimo Francisco Franco

Vick. I think dog fighting is heinous. I also think Favre's retirements and comebacks are also heinous.

Neither. I hate both.

However, if I have to choose one, I pick Vick for a few reasons.

1. I am freaking sick and tired of ESPN's obsession with Favre. He is old, overrated, and self absorbed. He simply doesn't know what to do with himself if he doesn't have a football in his hands and cameras all around him.

2. Vick probably has more left in the tank at this point.

3. I am absolutely against the way Vick treated those poor dogs. However, I always enjoy watching PETA get riled up, and Vick resuming his career in the NFL would do just that.

In the words of TO: "Get your popcorn ready." This is gonna be an interesting year for the NFL.

Michael Vick.
The dog fighting thing was atrocious, but it doesn't take away from the fact that he had an interesting game.
He was, in my opinion, one of the more fun quarterbacks to watch in the NFL before his suspension.
Practice? Whatchu talkin about practice?

haha....I used to use that joke. Nobody got it. I guess it wasn't very "topical"

Vick. I wonder how good he can be after prison and think he can be more a force for good if he continues to be productive, whereas if he never gets signed he just becomes a story about how people don't forgive, value doggies more than people, don't respect cultural differences, and can't move on

Now that Im thinking about it, I would say that these are probably the two most overrated quarterbacks in recent memory as well

thought that Stallworth would be a good addition to the poll since he has been allowed to leave his house to work out
