As a diehard vikings fan I immediately thought the same thing this morning when ESPN was giving time towards Vicks free agent status.
I personally believe that Brett Farve would only be a 1 season addition to the vikings if he managed to grow some nuts and simply come out with a decision.
Vick is a bit rusty I assume; however, I think a rusty Vick is a more well oiled machine than Jackson or Sage.
Vikings need a QB. Until then, they will be a wildcard team.

Unless Michael Vick somehow turned into a real quarterback during his time in the joint, he's not a quick fix for any team. This is a guy who had a career quarterback back rating of around 75 BEFORE he did time. That rating puts him in the company of big names like Derek Anderson, Brooks Bollinger and David Carr. (You know, the "ABC" of star quarterbacks.)
Vick backers point to his ability to run as a quality that made him a good player, but over the last few seasons the NFL defense seemed to have caught up with the "mobile quarterbacks" that briefly gave them trouble in the first part of this decade. Dropback passers are again proving they are the type of player who consistently guides teams over all opponents, and Vick is much below average as a dropback passer.

It still amazes me at the crap people post about Vick, like he was some great QB before he embarassed himself and his team. The guy spent roughly 1/3rd of his career injured anyway and I'd give you a dollar if you could find me a dumber human being.
Now why on earth would any team sign him so that they could have PETA line up and boycott them, have fans turn their back on the team, and have all of this hoopla.
The only team I can think of that would do this horrible PR stunt is the Raiders, and they'd be replacing another over hyped overrated QB in the fat slob known as LEmarcus Russell.
Waste.
Teams need to go after guys that can play QB, and not guys with legs or big arms attached to 290 pound bodies. Tim Tebow is another freak that won't amount to shit.

I think it is going to take Vick awhile to lead an NFL team, if it is even possible at this point. He lead the Falcons to wins while he was in ATL, but obviously, he was never the best passer, and you have to think how much worse he is after two years without throwing a route to an NFL WR.
That being said, if this were to happen a backfield with Vick and AP running behind that O-line would break rushing records.
