I don’t know if it’s all that serious, but Michael Vick will get his shot at being the man again on Sunday. Vick met with the media on Wednesday as the starting quarterback for the New York Jets.
He told the media that “getting the opportunity to start is a dream come true.”
“When you have a chance to go out and show and prove, I think you’ve got to take advantage of the opportunity,” Vick said after practice Wednesday. “They don’t come around too often as I’ve seen for the last year and a half not being the starter.
“So just having this chance to become a starter again is almost like a dream come true.”
Vick will make his first start for the 1-7 Jets against his old coach, Andy Reid. Vick called the game on Sunday just another chance.
“It’s just something that I want to take full advantage of and go out and have fun with my teammates and try to get a win,” he said. “And that’s the challenge. It’s going to be tough on the road in Kansas City. But, what else would you want? You wouldn’t want it any other way.”
