Glad someone picked him up
McNabb is a better QB than Vick ever dreamed about being.... Mike will be lucky to start on special teams. At least he'll be able to run. Lord knows he can't throw for shit.
ps - i hate his guts.
Well, you probably hate the world considering you drive a bannana. :-p Wonder what kind of money he got.

I'm happy for the guy. I hope he takes this second chance and makes the best of it. He's playing for my second favorite team so that works out well. If he puts together a couple of good years people will ignore his past indiscretions. It's going to be nice watching him play again because he is truly a joy to watch when he's at his best.
Vick with the Eagles is an interesting fit, now the Eagles have insurance when Mcnabb inevitably gets injured. You now have a team with a very good quarterback and an explosive athlete that can throw the ball as well, put them on the field together along with Desean Jackson and you have a field that is hard to cover defensively.
This would have been the problem for defenses had Vick gone to the Patriots, you have Brady in the pocket picking the D apart, a wildcat type offense with Vick opens up the field and then you have receivers that are on par. Its still sinking in with me but I think this will be an interesting year for the Eagles.
already got my tickets for the game
house of turbo subarus...its all we'll drive
Not to mention the Falcon's Salary Cap just went through the roof.
His deal is for 2 years and he gets $1.6mil the first year with a $5.2mil option for the second.Originally Posted by FlipKing
I would have had serious issues if the Pats signed him. Buuuut, we don't need his ass. Pats are a class act, not a Vick type.
trust me there family he probley got vick the deal in the first place
I check sluts off my list like a maintnence man
I drive a low is3 just so it gives me a reason to drive super slow on these rough ga roads.
I would've almost bet money that he'd end up in Oakland. Al David has a reputation for hiring idiots out of Atlanta, anyways...(see DeAngelo Hall)
Can't wait to see the reception he gets at the dome.
He'll see special teams and wildcat formation play. I doubt he'll be competing for the back-up QB spot.
Yes I'm certain that is why they picked up Randy Moss, or spying on other teams.
^They signed Donte Stallworth and he killed a guy!
Look at Moss now versus then and if you don't think any other team doesn't you're in denial.
dec.6 willl quite possibly be a primetime game!
house of turbo subarus...its all we'll drive
thank god falcons vs eagles are a part of my 5 game ticket package
its pretty ironic that he got picked up by the eagles, we were pretty big rivals in 04-05 seasons and now hes on the bench behind mcnabb lol
I'm happy for him too and I really hope he makes the best of this opportunity. IMO, philly is the best team for him to go to given his situation. As an organization they can really serve as a strong support group for Vick and help him stay on the right track. Vick can learn so much from Reid and Mcnabb. I kind of already have an idea of how the philly fans are gonna act towards Vick. But Mcnabb knows all too well what it's like to be unappreciated and not wanted by the fans so naturaly, Mcnabb can help/teach Vick to deal with this also. It's gonna be a great season. I'm a Vick fan, been one ever since his days at V-Tech, and I am really happy he has been given a second chance. I thinks he deserves it.
Can't wait til madden 2011 comes out!
whatever dude? 1,000,000 says you suck my dick while Fox News reports it
Same here, field level too!
LMAO.......no.
any fans that all of a sudden quit becoming fans because of vicks signing were never fans in the first place. peta says they are disappointed in vicks signing, wtf for? it seems that peta is more for seeing him fail than seeing him succeed in his efforts to help youth and himself.
PETA is on a publicity ride right now. I went to the site and read the blog comments. Yeah, maybe they should try a little more forgiving as opposed to hatred. They now hate the NFL and Eagles, lol.
Why aren't they outraged that people who murder and torture people aren't all given the death penalty? That would equate thier mindset. Hell, at least offer solution as opposed to just saying "he shouldnt ever play again and be a public shame forever".
Cunts.....
I'm not a fan of PETA at all. I understand being passionate about something, but during his trial those people turned into hateful demonstrators. The worst part was they had their kids out there holding signs and saying things like "I hate Vick" and other things a kid should never say. I really think he has the opportunity for redemption.
By the way McNabb and Vick in the backfield is really scary. They can split him out and run some crazy reverse plays or play action fake. Westbrook is a great back that can also catch. Think about this play:
Vick splits out with Mcnabb in the shotgun and Westbrook to his right. Vick goes in motion and they hike the ball. Vick comes around and D-Mac can either hand it off or fake it. All the while Westbrook is coming out of the back field into the flats with Vick on the other side running a route. That leaves the middle of the field wide open for McNabb to kill the defense over the middle or dump it off.
Good points. There is no need to spread, or teach, hate to children. They are creating a mockery of what the organization stands for. Vick payed his debt to society, judged by his peers, and served his time. His lesson has hopefully been learned, and now he moves on to live a better life off the field.
I am confident that the Eagles family, along with Tony Dungy and others, will ensure he gets the support he needs. A soft side of me wishes all criminals, to a certain extent, could get the support to turn their lives around. We would surely have a better society.
Why wouldn't be competing for the back up position?
Who is the Eagles back up?
Kevin Kolb??
Who just got hurt...
Kevin Kolb.
I think there is an opening for backup spot behind McNabb.
With Vick, Maclin, Jackson, and Lesean McCoy the eagles can be as explosive as anyone else in the league.
I am a vick fan and i wanted him in atl for a wr

no one actually pays attention to PETA, especially not respectable animal rights groups like ASPCA.
I knew Vick would be signed this year, but I figured it would be a team like oakland, or my pick, Denver. I NEVER saw him getting signed with Philly and I never saw him getting this type of money. I do find it ironic that his first year deal is the exact same money the UFL offered though. I expected a base salary in the 600k range that is loaded with incentives to max out at around 2mil.
Eagles just dont fit for Vick though. He will miss the first 6 games of the year, which means more than half of the games in good weather. Vick isnt a good passer in good weather and Ryan Leaf quality in less than perfect weather. I also know for a fact that the Eagles have one of the most feverish, and unpleasant, fan bases in the country. Remember, these are the same fans that pelted Santa with snow and ice balls.
Playing time will be an issue also. The only way he throws a pass is if McNabb is down and Kolb is out of the game. Kolb is by far a better passer than Vick ever was. That leaves Vick as the #3 QB and therefore inactive come game time. The only way he gets in the game is if they bench McNabb and Kolb. Great deal for Vick until it gets cold, but after that, he will sit on the sidelines for 3 hours and try to keep his place warm.
Why would you want him as a WR, he probably catches even worse than he throws. Ryan was a better QB from day 1 than Vick ever way or will be so he definitely wouldnt beat out Ryan for QB either.I am a vick fan and i wanted him in atl for a wr
If I recall, the goal wasn't for him to be an immediate impact as a QB, or even competing for the spot. This is his "rehab" to get back in the swing of things. To me, the Eagles are doing more for Vick than paying him money to fill a spot. They are giving him the opportunity to be an athelte again. McNabb said it himself, he lobbied for him to come there for a fresh start at a good home. Vick also realizes his role and goals for this first season.
With the personal, staff, and structure the Eagles have, I say Vick got the best deal he could have. If he would have went to a team that needed him as a starting QB, he would have been terrible.
i liked vick but i dont want him anywhere near the falcons franchise. those days are in the past, i hope the best for him.
we're a legit threat in the nfl now
MY HONEST OPINION.... Vick will only see play time for a lil bit, or if My boi McNabb gets injured but eagles will be making back to the NFC champs again and hopefully the SUPERBOWL!!!!!!
well i liked vick because ATL sucked and i had full season tickets for yr's and never went untill vick played.I figured hey if were going to loose anyway we might as well go see a good show of ppl trying to run him down and him playing juke master down the fieldRyan is a good QB but has no where near the speed of vick and u guy's will start to see more sacked RYan if our line sucks this yr

You don't pay a guy $1.6 mil for limited playing time. Not to mention there is the second year option of $5.2mil. A potential 6.8mil over two years means the guy is going to get some playing time and they want him to produce.
The Eagles are gonna get rid of McNabb pretty soon. We all know he's not producing like he used to. He gets injured like 2 out of 3 seasons. Michael Vick on the other hand got injured bad once. I'm not saying Vick is gonna beat him out of a job right this year but I think by this time next year Vick is gonna be Philadelphia's franchise player.
And PETA just needs to get over this bullshit. The man lost enough time and money on this that he can never get back. He said he was sorry and did his time, end of story.
I'm surprised this one of the few Vick-Threads I've read over the internet that have been actually educated.

Mcnabb still produces. Vick will just be a wildcat, trick plays, we are beating the so and so by 100 lets let vick play player.

Dang man, can you say get the cock out of your a*#!!! You are a hater
Right... That's why they restructured his contract this summer to pay him more money. Not to mention he's been adamant about staying in Philly for his entire career.
