Vick is a crybaby

Sour Grapes make good wine.

Vick does take a beating, but how much of it is his play style? I don't respect him as a person, but I do think he makes the NFL better and want to see him on the field. Give him more calls as long as they don't come against the skins.

As for not getting credit because other teams are banged up. I would be fine if all of the cowboys were hurt and we had to beat the shit out of the cheerleaders to get the win. I will complian as we win and get dropped in power rankings though.


As mooby pointed out consistency is the problem. Instead of giving Vick more calls, perhaps just call everything the same for every QB would be a better alternative? Set a standard, let everyone know what the standard is, show everyone the full rule not just generalities of it, and call things equally for everyone.

I disagree, highly. Brady gets called a whiner all the time by the public. The only reason it seems more prevalent with Vick is because he's an Eagle, we have added reasons to hate on him.

And maybe in your area Brady gets a little more love since he's a Michigan guy. The three super bowls help too.

I highly doubt this.

Per NFL Network, Vick does not have a broken hand, but a contusion. He could play Sunday.

I think he had a point. His mistake was harping on it.

I highly doubt this.

just one example. Google Brady and whiner for more. When the "Brady Rule" first came about, plenty of people called him a whiner for it.

Brady is a well known whiner.

I stand corrected then.

and Vick's hand is not even broken (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/26/reid-vick-has-hand-contusion-not-fracture/). pussy.

edit - just saw 12th already posted this...

Brady is a whiner. I personally know plenty of fans that say it all the time.

Vick is taking a beating because the Iggles FO made the same sh*tty decisions that our old FO used to make: Get a whole bunch of pricey free agents and disregard your offensive line. As I've said before, the Eagles' $100 million QB is being protected by a $2 dollar offensive line. Vick is being a crybaby, but I think the Iggles FO needs to be called out.The Eagles OL is unquestionably a work in progress, but to (quickly) defend the Eagles for all the changes that Howard Mudd made to that group between the lockout and Week 1, I think a lot of the "pressure" for the Eagles to win right away has been fabricated.

It's been written a lot of times that it's super bowl or bust for the Eagles this year, but I haven't heard anyone around the organization or even an insider suggest that anyone in the Eagles FO actually believes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to win the super bowl.

It's true that Andy Reid is in the last year of his contract, but I think the Eagles plan on being better next year than they are this year. And this season is more a referendum on Reid/Castillo than it is on Vick or the OL/Howard Mudd, or Nnamdi/DRC, or Casey Matthews or whoever.

It's still fun to watch as the season melts down in front of them though. For all the angst that that team's successes have caused me during my falls, I have definitely reserved a special place in my heart for their continued failures.
