T.O. was a locker room dividing headcase. Vick is not. He's just a OG, triple OG. EVERYONE will rally around him. I still feel that the TO/Donovan incident is what made the Eagles grow apart from Lito Sheppard. He (lito) hated how they dealt with his boy Terrell, and im sure he voiced his displeasure. The organization then showed him that they could succeed without him and put him in the doghouse by playing Hansen more.

This won't be the case with Vick. He'll be used in different looks and be greeted with open arms here. i'm guessing he toe's the company line as he knows the Eagles won't tolerate another unfortunate setback.

micheal vick had plenty of issues before the dogfighting came to light. maybe he's learned after the last few years, or maybe ron mexico will be in the press again?

Never said he didnt have earlier issues, but they had NOTHING to do with dividing a team in the locker room. This team's core group of guys is too good to let Vick's past spike a wedge between it. Now, if he was in everyone's ear about things, trying to clamor up support from certain guys and giving the cold shoulder to others, like T.O., then I'd say we have a problem. We don't have that though. What we have is a top 5 team, even with 2nd team O-linemen and middle linebacker.

i have a hard time believing all his teams had no problem with him flipping off their ticket buyers...but, whatever-not my problem since, thankfully, my team didn't take him.

Don't mix issues that the owners or public relations staffs might have had problems with what the players themselves have problems with. Players around the league are overwhelmingly in support of Vick.
