Vick signs with the Eagles

Excellent points.
I'm curious, did he even do any kind of tryouts to see if he's still in football shape?
Also, while he won't even be available til week 6, unless McNabb goes down for good, Vick's option (the eagles option on him) is 5.2 mil next year. The odds that he stays with the Eagles are pretty slim. He was never a good QB to begin with, but an amazing scrambler. If he lost a step, he's not worth anything.

In regards to your first point, the Pigeons took him sight-unseen, without a tryout, because they did not want to call attention to their plans. Got to give the Iggles some credit for guts there.

As for the second point, right on. He's 29 and if he didn't lose a step in prison, he will soon. And without that speed Vick has little to contribute.

There's a really good article about Vick and the Eagles on espn.com by Mosley. Couldn't post it but it asks the question, "Vick needs the Eagles, but why do they need him?". Mosley thinks they've made a mistake and Vick will become a bigger distraction than T.O. ever was.

People want to say a lot of things about Vick. But what I heard from his pratice with the Eagles he is not looking that bad and knows the basic formations of the "WCO" which we run. Hmmm. So if Vick will be with the Eagles this year and maybe next year. He might end up being somone that will keep continuity if McNabb goes down and also a threat to run the ball (via wildcat formation). Either way. Its not good for us. Hmmm. How does our QB situation look? Not that good. Vick would change the dynamics of our offense and also would give us a better back up plan if JC didn't work out. Too bad now. Now we have to face him twice a year. Only once this year. The project could fail. But it could be a success and lead to us getting our ass whipped by the Eagles. Because we aren;t that good with mobile QBs and out LBs are looking suspect this year.

A good move for Vick. McNabb wont be intimidated by his presence and should provide good guidance. It think it might work out well for MV.

Not really.

The fans will turn on him quick and severely WHEN he doesn't play up to his promises of "I can still run as fast and throw as far and I work out now, I never did before...".

If he does perform well, the fans will begin their annual "throw McNabb outta town" campaign and distract the team.

Philly is a huge dogfighting venue too, so he's going to be expected to do that much more "I'm sorry, don't dogfight, kids" campaigning.

Then of course, there is the clash of the circus freaks: PETA vs. Philly fans.

It's going to be a disaster for the team. I love it.

Also...McNabb says he's playing WR and TE...just hilarious...Orakpo would be covering him at TE...say goodbye to their QB if this happens. :)

Campbell is a far better QUARTERBACK than Vick.

Vick was a horrible QB...look at the passing stats.

Think Vick is thinking "Karma is a bitch."

Michael Vick will be eligible to play in 3rd week of regular season, Roger Goodell rules - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4442627)

I think that's reasonable. I would have like to see him in uniform week 1, but I'm sure Vick isn't crying about it. It's not like he's starting anyway.

Dude paid a huge price. Don't like him at all, but he did his time.

I thought after Pacman was going to be suspended for a few games after his indefinite suspension from Goodell but he didn't end up serving any.

Vick seems to be the exception...I guess dogs really are more important than humans. At least 2 games isn't that bad.
