Let's just say all things are equal among the 3 QB's. If this is the case then Vick became your QB the day they put that C on his jersey.

This is no slam on Vick but it I believe it would give him the extra edge from a coaches selection point. This is why I would have held off on awarding that last captain spot. I firmly believe it sent a strong message to the other QB's competing for that spot.......

I agree that if all things are equal on the field, Vick's leadership ability will give him the start. On the other hand, I don't buy into the notion that Captains will always start. For example, I expect Tim Edmond to play this year, but I don't expect him to start. I think that despite Tim being a Captain, all the other running back believe that if they play well, they can earn the starting spot. Similarly, I think Windham and Sprague both believe that if they win the job on the field, they can be the starter.

Let's see how the scrimmage goes, and then worry about this question. As well as the defense is playing, it's going to be a tough environment for QBs.

Actually I did not say since he is a captain he will start. I said.. If all things are equal... I believe he would get the node as a captain.

I also believe if Sprague and Windham are better they will start over Vick. That's a given. My point was what happens if none of the 3 have distanced themselves from the others....

Regardless, I believe we are in good hands no matter who steps on that field at QB.

Can't wait for the season to start.

I would say even without the captaincy vote, Vick should be the starter if everything else is equal. He's been in the program longer, giving him more experience with the other players as well as the playbook. He's seen game action, and had some success in games (think of his big 80 yard TD in the bowl game last year). I think he's shown composure and some success to where if all is equal, he deserves to have the upper hand. In other words, it was his spot to lose. If he hasn't lost it, it's still his.

What he said.

I can accept that as well.
