Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

I don't agree with the Vick-as-McNabb's successor arguments. Vick is 29. His age makes him a poor choice as a successor.

I also am appalled by the many "McNabb won't like the move / McNabb is now under pressure" articles which have already appeared. McNabb lobbied for the signing. End of story.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I can still remember Philly fans hyping TO back in the day, and how quickly they turned on him. I could see the same thing happening here.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

Jeffrey Lurie had a funny quote about his meeting with Vick:

"I had to see a lot of self-hatred from him."

LOL! Self-hatred. That's funny. I mean, did Vick have to walk into his office and say, "hey, I'm an unbelievable piece of sh*t and I can't stand myself. Let's play some football!"

LOL yeah that is pretty retarded.

Apparently if you hate yourself bad enough you have a career with the Eagles waiting for you.

On second thought, it makes perfect sense when you think about it!

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

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.

Campbell is a far better QUARTERBACK than Vick.

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