[quote=SmootSmack;575755]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[/quote]

yeah, I was thinking about the timing if that is Vick's first game. In DC (well, close enough). That might be the only game where peta folks are redskins fans! I can imagine the noise when he takes the field, probably just what we need.

I don't look at this as having anything to do w/their D slipping a little. I look at this in 2 ways:
1) they may be legitimately grooming him as a backup to DM, who is older & is at least a little injury prone.
2) They are undergoing the second coming of the TO experiment; i.e. they believe they are "1 player away" & are willing to deal w/the distraction.

Way to keep it classy Philly Daily News! It's going to be interesting to see how Reid uses Vick and McNabb in their offense.

[quote=irish;575704]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.[/quote]

Guidance on what, how to freeze up in the Superbowl?

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.

I don't think McNabb has anything to worry about.

Most seem to think the Eagles picked up Vick with the idea of trading him for a pick next year in mind.

That said the media is going to jump on a potential QB controversy story every chance they get.

And if McNabb struggles at any point this year, you can bet the retard Philly fans will start clamoring for Vick.

Its was funny our local station brook this story around 7:15 and then they started bragging how they beat out ESPN and all the other national stations. I'm guessing they had a local conection.

ROFL, thats exactly what I was thinking....2 minus 1=huh?

I just have a bad feeling that we are gonna see some trickery with Vick & McNabb on the field at the same time.

9 months plus 12 months = 21 months


Vicks Sentence was 18 Months. There was no CV.

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.

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!
