Wasn't Vick about to become an UFA after this season? If so, I guess the Eagles did not want Vick on the open market?
Since the Eagles traded DM and Kolb away, they essentially put all of their eggs in one basket. I believe they have not yet drafted the heir apparent. Vince Young is a huge gamble that may or may not pay off, but they do not have anyone else at that position. When it comes to Qb's the Eagles seem to have the old Joe Gibbs I ability to take almost any QB and have them be productive.
I agree that they paid too much guaranteed money for a 30+ QB.
