What Michael Vick won't be

For example: Jessica Simpson

Jessica dating our #2/#3 QB will still be more of a distraction to R(H)omo than us.

If Vick hit the weights, etc in prison and ran sprints, he should be good to go. Cunningham was a better overall QB. Vick can run and dance, but his throwing wasn't much better than Tarvis Jackson. Shoot even good ole Gus had a better arm than Tarvis!! Vick should shine as a Cordell Stewart/Slash type player when called upon for trick plays and those emergency must convert or lose 3rd down plays. Vick could easily burn us this way.

I am only going to say this one more time. Vick was more accurate than many people think he was. His biggest problem was the fact that his recievers dropped many passes that they should have caught. Maybe, they were not used to a left handed QB or whatever, but those who under estimate his ability are going to be pissed if he makes us pay for years as the QB of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Food for thought, Donovan McNabb is not known for his accuracy, but he has made us pay big time with the accuracy that he does have.

Stop hating and realize that we have a true threat lined up against us if he is not traded or signed elsewhere.

No just kidding, what Mike Vick won't be is as good as what he was a few years ago when he rushed for 1,000 yards.

Okay, so if he has the Philadelphia receivers dropping his passes instead of the Atlanta receivers, is he still a true threat?

You hit this nail on the head,unfortunately for skin fans

I remember hoping that we'd sign Cunningham after he unretired.

Uhhh, Id say while he has lost fractions of seconds off his top speed he has matured in the pocket or at least hasnt repeated many of the same mistakes he did while he was becoming a pocket passer or a real QB. Truth is he doesnt have to be that dedicated to pocket passing b/c w/ the speed the Eagles have there are too many mismatches once he gets out of the pocket.

I hate Vick the dogfighter but the athelete has regained his heyday stature IMO.

I dont care what the haters say Vick has redeemed himself, he just needs to keep pushing on, why people still talking about this, but I bet I can pull up some rapist, murders, that either still played and once played in the NFL, and thats alot worse, I was the first to say he needed to go to jail, and I was the first to congradulate him for moving pass this......... cause we got people out their thats so close to animals...... some closer than they need to be I say to yall move the F***** on, maybe you should be concerned with more pressing things......... All the pieces of shit we had around as QB's........... watching a good one makes my day........ Keep being great Vick, keep doing your thang

Yeah everybody on here that said Vick would be washed up post-prison are certainly being proven wrong right now...

That clip above is almost sad. Looking at how great McNabb used to be, and what he is now.....

True. I don't know that I ever said he was "washed up" per se, but at the same time, who on here (or anywhere) predicted that after his 09 season he would become an MVP candidate, or even a top 10 qb in 2010? If anyone here did predict that then they really have a crystal ball.

I am happy for him, just hate that he is w/the iggles. I think it's been pretty well acknowledged that after last year no team in the nfl foresaw him being this good.
