    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.
    dude i think you are just a vick hater. there is no way in hell that a unproven kolb is going to beat out a proven vick, its just absurd, why do you think mcnabb lobbied to get vick in as soon as kolb went down? reid himself said vick was one of the best QB's in the game, and you gonna tell me reid doesnt know what he is talking about? man please, you dont know what you are talking about.

    I'll start by saying I'm glad he's back on the field. He, as well as most anyone, should be allowed to continue his career. I do think the extra games suspension is wack, but it is what it is. I'm not a "rider" of Vick, but I do think he is talented by far. I like watching him play as he does create excitement. A great quarterback? Fuck no he isn't. A good QB? I don't think he is. I think he definitely CAN be. And I hope he does succeed.

    Above, I said "as well as most everyone." I say that because of Donte Stallworth. Given the sentence he got in court, I think he should be banned from playing in the NFL ever again.

    Yea because the Raiders and the Bengals, the only 2 others that made an offer, are such great franchises.

    Vick is an outstanding athlete and he brings alot of excitement to a game, but he is NOT a proven anything other than thug. His passing ability is lacking, as is his ability to read a defense. The only thing he has going for his as a QB is his arm strength.

    As a QB what else does he have going for him? He had a well below league average passer rating ever year he started. He was well below league average in completions in every year he started.

    Now, as an athlete, he has a lot going for him. He's fast, elusive, and given the benefit of being lined up at QB, he has the rules protecting him. That is a very dangerous combination.

    Yo dipstick it was more than three teams looking at him. Philly denied being interested, and then look they signed him.
