I'm not sure this is a good thing for the Skins, true, the guy hasn't played for a while, but he WAS a scary player back in the day and I'd rather not have to deal with him twice a year

Thanks and thanks.

It would have been nice if the Skins could have scored a point for me today. Oh well.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles
 

I am not afraid to go out on a limb here.

This is horrible for anyone who is not an Eagles fan. I applaud the Eagles for ignoring the backlash. I think it is foolish to think that Andy Reid will not find ways for this man to make huge plays for them. He brings a skillset possesed by no others....

Congrats to the Eagles for thinking about football first instead of marketing.

Vick Signs with filthy? Well I couldn't think of a better place for trash. This was the best news of the night. Toilet soap.

:Flush:

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles
 

Welcome to the NFC East

...he couldn't have signed with a better division.

If you're going to play it might as well be in the NFL spotlight.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles
 

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.

YES YES again the Eagles FO makes the bold exceptional move that will bring the SB trophy to the Link.

Half time shows at the Link will now include a chainlink fence and a dogpound. Bad Newz people Bad Newz.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles
 

Still scratching my head over this move. Doesn't really make a ton of sense for the Eagles.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles
 

I went to school in Philly, and when Vick was re-instated, all my friends up there dismissively said that Snyder would sign him within a week and that it would be the circus-like distraction typical for our organization. Now that he has signed with the Iggles, those same guys are calling it a stroke of genius. Typical Philly fans.

I think that it does. I do not believe that they were happy with Kolb even before the injury. They still need a replacement down the line for McNabb. McNabb was a scrambling QB for a while before Reid turned him into a Pocket Passer. I believe that they feel that they might be able to do the same thing with Vick. Remember Vick has been in the WCO. They sign him short term for relatively cheap and it buys them more time to get the QB solution after McNabb solved. In the mean time they can use him for those gimmick plays that they liked to run with Jackson last season.

I do believe that this might hurt them a little if McNabb goes down early in the season. Their backup QB position until week six is a big question mark and nobody knows what Vick would look like after week six.

In short, this is a great move for the not so distant future, (next season and perhaps beyond) short term impact could be negative.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles
 

On another note, time to lock all of the other Vick threads...and if you're feeling evil, throw them in thread hell.

I'm sure he will, but Vick owns quite a number of high quality short leashs that Reid can choose from.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles
 

Monday Night Football Eagles at Redskins Week 7...Vick's Return!!! (actually I think he'll be back before then)

I think this move is almost a bit of an admission by the Eagles that their defense this year won't be quite what it's been in past years and they will need to heavily rely on offensive firepower
