Vick signs with the Eagles

KLHJ2 · 08-14-2009, 11:37 AM

9 months plus 12 months = 21 months

Vicks Sentence was 18 Months. There was no CV.

If you're listening to the WJFK the fan. They're talking about Vick right now and I just called in said that Vick won't be the same player because he'll have lost his speed.

Lavar thought that was ridiculous and starting going off about it...LOL...I thought it was funny.

Anyway, if you heard it, that was me who called in from Manasssas : )

I am soooo thankful it's the Eagles and not us. Thank you for holding off Mr. Snyder!

First you got Orakpo over Sanchez, then you steered clear of Vick...BRAVO!

From the blackbirds to the shitbirds. Real nice, I can only hope they implode.

And my the owner's attitude sure has changed over time. What a RETARD!

Closing remarks: FCK philly and vick!

The fact that he isn't going to be the starting quarterback means he won't be much of a threat at all. Teams were afraid of him because he could run at any time and since he is so talented and quick, he could break for huge runs.

But now when he comes in off the sideline for Philly, everyone on the defense and their brother are gonna know what kind of play is gonna be run. Its stupid. I'm not worried about it all.

And for any Philly fans who think he will be the second coming of Randall Cunningham, there is zero chance

The Vick conundrum: he's an amazing talent, but the offense that squeezes the most out of his potential doesn't currently exist. You'd have to learn, and spend months teaching an offense built around Vick to his supporting cast. However, Vick would be the only player who could run this offense, and he's not a very durable player. So when he gets hurt, all you have is a foreign offense and a backup who can't run it (See: Michigan. 2008).

Essentially, the opportunity cost of doing what it takes to make Michael Vick a great NFL player is not worth the risk of the ultimate failure of the plan once implemented. Ergo, Vick will never be a valuable NFL player.

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.

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

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.
