Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

Even if Vick tears it up in Philly, I'm still glad that it was not us who signed him.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

It makes sense. They have the highest percentage of idiot fans in the entire league.

I love it! Makes me hate them even more.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

The prevailing thought seems to be that he'll be in the Wildcat formation for the Eagles, which I'm not even sure they use.

Don't be surprised if defenses throughout the league are much better prepared for the Wildcat this year. It could very well be a one-season flash in the pan.

I'm not sure this is a good thing for the Skins, true, the guy hasn't played for a while, but he WAS a scary player back in the day and I'd rather not have to deal with him twice a year

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

I am not afraid to go out on a limb here.

This is horrible for anyone who is not an Eagles fan. I applaud the Eagles for ignoring the backlash. I think it is foolish to think that Andy Reid will not find ways for this man to make huge plays for them. He brings a skillset possesed by no others....

Congrats to the Eagles for thinking about football first instead of marketing.

YES YES again the Eagles FO makes the bold exceptional move that will bring the SB trophy to the Link.

Half time shows at the Link will now include a chainlink fence and a dogpound. Bad Newz people Bad Newz.

I think you will find many sports media outlets praising the Eagles in a similar manner. Honestly, I feel it's a gamble no matter who would have taken him.

I couldn't help it, but I think if the Redskins had picked up Vick, many people would have thought the following...

"The Redskins are naive for ignoring how much of a distraction Vick will bring. It is foolish for the team to think that he still has the same skills he had before and that he will make a difference. Snyder has once again brought a big name to sell more jerseys instead of thinking about football first."

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

Welcome to the NFC East

...he couldn't have signed with a better division.

If you're going to play it might as well be in the NFL spotlight.

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.

Re: Vick signs with the Eagles

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.

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.
