Vick Officially Named Starting QB

[zerocool84]

He`s back baby.

 

[zinfamous]

oh, i thought you said he's black.

 

[techs]

Hide your dogs.

 

[Bartman39]

Bet his team mates are saying "What up dawg" :whiste:

 

[sjwaste]

Still don't like Vick as a person, but this is the best decision for the team. The Eagles are instantly better with him.

Kolb might be the QB of the future, but Vick is the best QB on the roster right now. Gotta do it.

 

[KeithTalent]

WTF really? I thought Reid was sticking with Kolb no matter what. Is Kolb still out with the concussion? I thought he was supposed to be back next week.

Makes sense though, just surprised they would announce it.

It is the best move for the team. Say what you want about Vick, but the guy is still an awesome athlete.

 

[Heller]

Smartest decision for the team, although he is a major douche with no morals he is an athlete.

 

[Jadow]

me thinks the team owner or GM told Reid how it was gonna be. And it's the right call.

There was never any doubt. Vick was one of the top QBs in the league and nothing has changed. Guys like Vick just don't come along but so often.

 

[Kev]

This is such a joke. Vick is the most overrated QB of all time. The Eagles effectively traded away their all-time best QB to have this turd start for them.

Do you watch football? Vick has been at best a mediocre QB throughout his career.

This does make the McNabb move look even worse, but Vick has looked better in limited action than McNabb has this season.

Both Vick and McNabb are on the end run of their career, though. Either way, still gotta hope Kolb has it at some point (or Kafka).

I'll be sure to bring my 2 German Shepherds chain free to the next eagles game i attend.

3 time pro bowler and led a mediocre team to a conference championship game. He may not be likable, but only a fool would call Vick mediocre.

This. I admit I'm really surprised. After all the "Kolb is our man, Kolb is our man" talk it's pretty ballsy to all of a sudden turn it completely around. I wonder if the team put a lot of pressure on Andy after last weekend's game. Big surprise here, even though I think it's a good choice for this season.

 

[techs]

This decision will come back and bite Andy Reid.

 

[FreshCrabLegs]

Smartest decision for the team, although he is a major douche with genital herpes he is [still] an athlete.

(Fixed that for ya.)

Viva Ron Mexico!

p.s. I do agree though, that this is a good move by the Eagles.

how could you tell?

this. well...he sucks for Fantasy football, but he is a good QB, no doubt. Not top tier, but not mediocre, either. his presence forces any defense to make certain adjustments. that says a ton about his effectiveness.

i still think he's the best all-around athlete anywhere.

 

[Kev]

3 time pro bowler and led a mediocre team to a conference championship game. He may not be likable, but only a fool would call Vick mediocre.

I have no problem with him personally.
Here's some stats.

#30 of all active QB's in passer rating
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_rating_active.htm

#38 of all active QB's in completion % (only Derek Anderson is worse)
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_cmp_perc_active.htm

When your team passes 60% of the time, you need a QB who can... um... complete passes?

 

[hclarkjr]

i would not consider vick top notch, how many playoff games has he won? but he is better than what the eagles currently have on the roster. he should be starting.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Well when Vick proves again he can't lead a team to the promised land let's hope Kolb is not completely ruined over this fiasco.
