Vicks signs with the Philadelpia Eagles!

Seems like a good deal for both sides assuming that this is McNabb's last year with the team. Vick is younger so theoretically he should have 5 or so more good years left.

McNabb got a contract extension this off season I believe, I know they raised his salary......

BTW Falcons fans Vick has something to say to you all

Vick will be the 3rd string QB ( emergency QB ) . . . if he's even a QB. The 2nd string guy, Kevin Kolb(sp) is actually decent.

If I were the Eagles, I'm using Vick as an "offensive specialist", in the mold of how the Steelers used Antoine Randle-El and Kordell Stewart. I'm running screen passes ( both RB and WR screens ), reverses, HB pass plays, the WILDCAT, deep fly patters, etc. I'd make it a point to get him at least 5 touches a game, to see if he can make a gamebreaking play.

OH . . and guess who the FALCONS are playing on Dec. 6th IN THE GEORGIA DOME!

Yep.

If Mike Vick can play at anywhere near the level he played at before his incarceration, he'll be the backup/option QB in no time. You can't keep that kind of talent off the field.

WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT *woof* *woof* *woof* *woof* *woof*...

Good low-risk concept for both Philly and Mike. At Lincoln Financial, the PETA plants can dare to distract Eagles fans from football at their peril. Vick can step in at QB only if McNabb gets injured or totally collapses... or can learn the ropes at WR or Special Teams. Can spend all season holding a clipboard and reading the playbook in the worst case.

Vick is a low risk alright. If he is your QB you have very little risk of winning big games. Sad to say but Vick is done as a leading qb. He can run the wildcat but you cannot depend on him as a starting qb. He is a punk who deserves a second chance but will still be a punk.

Kevin Kolb? He gave McNabb his job back last year after starting like 1 game :biggrin:

If it wasn't for Philly, Mike would have led the Falcons to a Super Bowl. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! As for him being done as a starting QB, unless he gets hurt, he will get his chance in due time. Might happen in Philly.

Um..? Mike Vick lead the team to the NFC championship game despite having a talentless offense. You saw what the team looked like without Vick. If he can return to form, he can guarantee you about 6-8 wins by himself. If you couple him with some offensive talent and a solid defense, he'll be damn good. That's if he can return to being the Vick of old. Who knows, he might come back a better QB overall.

Philly wouldn't have signed him if they didn't think this was very possible. They can always cut him, but with the distraction factor where it is they have to believe he could be their starter for the 2010 season.

Yep.

ESPN reported that Kevin Kolb had an injury earlier this week, that help speed up the signing of Vick.

MV is a super great runner - very exciting - he makes things happen.

MV is not even a good QB. Without his ability to run, he would be a second rate

player, at best. But, oh that running talent!!

On a side note, it was noted on a web site from Philadelphia that they would change

the team's name, putting a B in front of Eagles!

:snowballfight:

Vick almost threw for 3000 yards with Trevor gaylor as his main receiver. Oh and the disappointment known as Peerless price. He's a better passer than he's given credit for.

lol @ that pic Bruin.. I'm glad he finally signed with a team.. Now I can become a fan of the Eagles...

You're going to become an eagle's fan just because Vick signed with them? Is that the depth of your fanship? Just following a few select athletes like a teen worships the Jonas bros.? Geez!
