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?

What he has done in the league?

You mean below-average passing ability, criminal and immoral activities that now only hurt his team by taking himself off the field, but taking himself our of society while in a prison cell for a while?

Or do you mean the drug offenses and shooting the middle finger to fans?

He's been a scumbag on and off the field and yes, he's a gifted athlete in terms of speed, he's been a mediocre quarterback at best. He's managed a few great games in his career, just like Rex Grossman.

His Commissioner-mandated apology tour doesn't make up for what he has done.

If I never have to watch him play again, I'll be happy.

Other than his off the field transgressions, which he already went to jail for, I really have nothing against Vick. I don't think he is good enough to overcome the sh*tty offensive line Andy Reid has placed in front of him (made even worst by injuries).

I dont have to respect him for what he's done in the league or away from it. Hang on my chocolate lab Sandy needs to go outside.

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.

Neither will a lot of dog lovers. No loss.

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.

Why would we want a 4-3 DE?

If anything, they should take a look at Stanford Routt, but at this point we need more safety help than anything else.

Because he could be a good stand up pass rusher. You just don't know.

And Stanford Routt is one of the top 5 Worst CBs in the league, according to pro football focus.

What in terms of position, Ray Edwards is a better DE than what Stanford Routt is to CBs.

Edwards had knee issues last year and after playing 6 years in the 4-3 he's not going to become a good 3-4 pass rusher in a matter of days. Given our sh*tty secondary, if I must chose one, I'd chose Routt. In reality, we're not going to acquire a player to fix our defensive woes overnight.

While there might be players out there that can easily switch between one scheme and the other, I just think it is a bit silly to suggest the acquisition of a player from a defensive scheme that is not ours. That's like me suggesting for us to get a 350-lb tackle for our zone blocking o-line.

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?
