But i think Philly is a difficult team because of the rabid fanbase. Say for example Vick gets hurt, Favre comes in and plays, and even if he plays great or just does enough to win, the fans rally behind him and now they have a QB controversy like last year.

OR, Vick starts playing bad, and the unhappy fanbase starts chanting "We Want Brett" or something like that. Remember in 2006, that backup Jeff Garcia played so well that fans wanted him to start in 2007 over Donovan McNabb. I think the eagles made a mistake by not re-signing Garcia that year, but it was largely due to McNabb's ego and hurt feelings.

Bottom line is i think he could be a distraction on any team if their QB starts struggling and they have the legendary gunslinger to turn to...

The only QB controversy I rememkber last year was in the media and only because Kolb was the starter before he got hurt. By the time Kolb could play again MV was on fire and most fans didn't even remember who Knolb was.
