Vick's criminal past not-withstanding, and I don't even want to debate about right or wrong concerning him, i think it is truly sad that a week ago his brother Marcus was on twitter saying how bad the eagles line was and that he didn't want to see his brother have brain damage by the time he's 40, and here Vick is at 33 and he may indeed have suffered brain damage (albeit minor) yesterday.

If Reid is retained by the eagles, I believe that Vick will stay with the eagles and re-negotiate his salary to be a transitional guy until Foles or whoever is ready. If Reid gets canned, then I think Vick might end up in Arizona or Minnesota, if he is able to come back at 100%.

Seriously with all of the hits he's taken and especially now with maybe facing brain damage / post concussion syndrome i wouldn't be surprised if Vick has thoughts of retiring, as he has young children, etc. not worth getting permanent brain damage to continue to play football.

He's done IMO.

Ehhhh, he was exciting to watch, but Im sure alot of people dont give a dog shit about him, and rightfully so. Wouldnt wish brain injuries on anyone though. Hope he gets well.

I could actually see this happening. If Mike is honestly burnt out I could see him walking away this offseason. I'm kinda torn on whether or not I support this move but if he's definitely burnt out and doesn't have the energy or passion for us anymore then I definitely support it.

Agreed, and the chance of that happening is probably slim to none. Why would he walk away from $7M/yr? Plus I don't see his pride letting that happen. He would love to prove the haters wrong.

I actually am kind of a fan of Vick now that I think about it. I'm a die hard skins fan but you have to respect the guys talent and what he has done in the league. I really think he is getting more heat than he deserves right now and he is handling it like a true pro. I hope he gets healthy and plays where he wishes next year.

Why? The Falcons were much better off with Matt Ryan, who's never going to be confused with Brady or Peyton.

Vick is still lucky he was busted for dog fighting, before he was busted for complicity in a drug running investigation. How is Vick handling his current problems any different than an average player in the league?

Just respecting his talents man, the guy was and kind of still is electrifying. And Idk man, Vick got the falcons farther than matt ryan has so far without even half of the talent they have on that team right now. Vick had big old Crumpler and thats it. Brady and Peyton are in their own league.

Idk man, i just think hes catching alot of crap that isn't all him, thats all. He's kept his cool about it, unlike his brother lol

Ray Edwards anyone? I say give him a look, why not

skinsfaninok · 11-12-2012, 11:17 PM

What separates Brady and Manning from the rest is they are automatic every week.

Guys like Eli, Ben, brees all have spotty games at times.

There are only 2 Elite Qbs and that's brady and Manning. Rodgers is 3rd best IMO. But he's not elite just yet.

Leftwich in.......?
What happened to Ben?
