Vick is still a young man that is playing like a young man and is just starting to hit his stride as a pro, if he continues at the pace he did last year. Vick is easily worth the money if he can keep performing like he did last year. I doubt he disappoints.

I see the negative firestorm around the net. Haters are gonna come out of the woodwork now. Factor away Vick's time in Prison, and you have the same situation as Peyton Manning; a 100 million dollar contract.

Not trying to open the Michael Vick Prison debate again, but i seriously think thats the only reason why people are bitching about his contract now....If he would have never went to prison, would people think he is worth the money? I think so.

Who mentioned McNabb? Factoring away prison time(a bit of the stretch) it still is not the same as Manning. Manning/Brady et al have made their teams perennial contenders, and their loss would devastate their teams. Vick is a role player, who got a very lucky break to go to a very stable situation and one that possibly let's him excel.

My point in my quote was that the normally frugal iggles have really splurged this year and I hope it leads them into the type of cap quandry that we have been in the last few years.

I guess the Playoff win against Farve's Pakers back when Vick was on a bad Falcons teams was Vick ROLE PLAYING? No. Vick carried that team on his shoulders.
Vick is a dynamic player that if he can stay healthy will do very well. That is a big if. His playing style of running and holding onto the ball as long as he does can get him killed if he is not careful. But he is not a role player. He is not a conventional pocket passer and that is why he is misunderstood by the so called experts.
