You may use round numbers to answer that.

I think Michael Vick is a very talented player and I have no problem with coming back to the league. My thinking is more about the kind of abuse/treatment that Donovan takes from the fans/media in Philadelphia. I personally think the guy is a warrior and I have seen him kill the Giants many many times. Personally I hope that they take the ball out of Mcnabb's hands and even take him off the field a couple of times a game. I'll take my chance with Michael Vick. But we have all seen McNabb go into those slumps now and then and the Eagle nation call for the likes of A.J. Feeley and Kevin Kolb. Now you will have Michael Vick in the bullpen and you would think that every crappy pass/interception that Donovan throws people would be looking for a pitching change. Maybe it will turn out to be a good move. But I think ithas the potential to do more damage by undermining their franchise QB is has been a warrior his whole career.

as inconsistant of a passer that Donovan is... Vick is like 10 times more inconsistent.

Getting Vick makes me

McNabb now.

Apparently, Mcnabb and Vick are very close friends and Mcnabb completely endorsed the move. Remember also...Mcnabb just got paid so he was finally given his love.

This is a home run for the eagles. You have a back up quarterback that could start for a number of teams in the league. Not only that, unlike most backups, he won't just hold a clipboard. You can actually devise ways to use him in specialty situations and not just the wildcat. Remember the way the steelers used kordell? Vick throws and runs better than kordell and I remember slash being highly effective.

For 1.6 million and an option at 5.2 million? There will be a number of teams that will be sorry they didnt take the chance.

any one else notice they held the press conference with "CON-WAY" on the board behind them?? just thought it was kind of ironic.

I think its a good thing the Beagles took Vick... Just think when they get ready to come out of the Tunnel (the music blasts)...""Who let the Dogs out "" !!!!!

Btw..the frontpage headline in the Philly Daily news..was something like
""hey philly, hide your dogs ""

This just pretty much says that Kolb doesn't look like he is ready yet, and of course injury doesn't help. Trust in Feeley is very low.

Its just a one year deal, unless something majorly bad happens to McNabb. No way the Eagles will pay Vick's Option in any other case.

I think its more Andy Reid championing for Vick, and handling him in the same matter of him handling his family when the boys were in trouble.

Well, this is interesting.

Guy's clearly a great athlete.

Will likely make some big-time contributions to the offense

That said, it's time for Reid-McNabb to seal the deal.

Real Birds fans are running out of patience, Mr. Lurie...

i was wondering who they are going to cut on the roster to keep vick.. my dad thinks Feeley... doubt they will keep 4 qb's

Any great child molester QB's out there still unsigned? As long as the pedophile is a good athlete, hell, sign him up and it's a home run for the team. Apparently no one in the franchise has a problem hanging out with scum for the better part of the year, be it a dog torturer or a child rapist. No moral compass on the Eagles, I guess

King Glorious · #12 08-14-2009, 01:05 PM

I'm now an Eagles fan. Big time.

Mike · #13 08-14-2009, 01:07 PM

I know, I know! He was only torturing, strangling, drowning, electrocuting dogs

Who cares about dogs? Heck, Vick's apologized a couple of times now

Maybe the Eagle shave something similar to hazing in their locker room. Sure would be fun to watch a few lineman torture Vick in the locker room, maybe drown him in a filthy toilet. Might as well sodomize him while they're at it.

Can always apologize later
