A quarterback needs three things: talent; character, and the respect of his teammates. Vic has one: talent.

Look, l am a ride or die Eagles fane to the end. Their no V team stop acting like Vick is out there by himself. This man is one of the QB’s that ever played the game and he can’t play offense by himself someone is got to protect him and someone have got to get open to receive the ball. Whether it’s a hand off or pass we all know he can put the ball where it should be. O-line get it together play your game we all want to win but let’s face it love Vick or hate him we CAN’T WIN without him. He’s trying to make plays he shouldn’t have to because guys are not where they should be or not trying to get opean and yes he deserves every dime and more. So fix whatever bull thats going on and play some Eagles football. At the end of the day the offensive line will be the blame for not
protecting their Quarter Back and the defense kept them on the field long enough
Come on play ball we want this CHAMPIONSHIP SO BAD WE CAN TASTE IT!!!!!! BLEEDING GREEN MUCH LOVE TO REID AND EAGLES.

ne scored a touchdown. And the defense kept

I am a die hard eagles fan but enough of this guy already all I keep thinking about is the way eli got the snot knocked out of him in that playoff game against San Fran, he kept getting up and leading his team, Vick would have never stayed in, it is getting tiresome rooting for a team holding my great every game wondering if Vick will get hurt start foles already

Doesn’t anyone on the Pats defense know how to do a crack-back block?

Our positive perception of Foles is just more of Reid’s smoke and mirrors. Sometimes I think that he could make me look good at QB if he wanted to score some extra picks.

Michael Vick will only play in 10-12 games this season, he is way too injury prone. This will give Foles the opportunity to show what he is worth in 4-6 games of his own. If Vick is smart and wants to retain his job, he better learn how to absolve hits better or avoid them completely.

All you people tripping over yourselves to buy a Nick Foles jersey do understand it’s the preseason, don’t you?

The Eagles will go as far as Vick can take them. He’s easily their best QB.

Vick is only guaranteed through this season. Let the Nick Foles era begin!!!

Foles went to the same high school as Drew Brees on crushed all of Brees’ high school records. If that’s any indication of his ability I say let him play.

I’m starting to think he can’t play the game any other way… which is unfortunate for the Eagles.

if he walked off under his own power, they didn’t hit him hard enough

Vick makes far to much money to sit on the bench but….he has shown a great tendency to ” break easily [" in the last couple of years.] I think we are looking at his replacement in Foles & this may happen much sooner than was expected !

I wonder who is the vegas favorite to have a multi game injury stafford,vick, or cutler

All three are made of the same brittle material.

Dear Eagles,

We would like to exchange our quarterback, Kevin Kolb, for a new one. We believe the one we received was defective and should be issued Nick Foles as a replacement.

Sincerely,
Arizona Cardinals

I kept telling people that Carolina was going to beat Philly on MNF in late November because by that time Vick was already going to be hurt.

In a perfect world Vick would keep taking hits like that but still be able to play and do all of his self-serving interviews – this way his haters and supporters will both be happy.

Foles played well against a bunch of 3rd stringers who will be looking for a new job come this time next week……..But hey, way to be optimistic.

If you watch the replay he could have shot that gap an ran it and he would have been fine!…… I think they are putting to much emphasis on throwing from the pocket. All his injuries have been throwing from the pocket….. Escape first then keep your eyes up field!!!

After the way Foles looked, he’s not trade bait, he’s the future. Kolb never looked that good during his preseason rookie year games.

As for Vick, the guy can’t win: if he leaves the pocket and uses his gifts indtead of looing awkwardly to the nearest open spot and sliding, he gets treated like a rn by the refs. If he stays in the pocket, he takes shots.

Easy there Foles fans. He looked good but that’s because the Patriots rested 1/2 the starting lineup. The Patriots D, while improved, is still not the caliber the Eagles are going to face in the NFC East. Vick is your best QB, injured ribs or not.

Rather than make a joke about teaching an old dog new tricks, can we agree that Mike Vick hasn’t changed his style in all the years he’s played, and doesn’t seem to try to very hard, and therefore the Eagles have to accept him that way, or move on….

Who wants to bet that Foles will be the next QB that Andy Reid uses to fleece another team?

Based upon only 1 preseason game performance, the Eagles have just traded Nick Foles to Arizona for 2 first round draft picks.

By: bigblueapple

bigblueapple — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 06:27:30 +0000

Who cares if he takes hits like that, both me and the Eagles agree, Nick Foles is the greatest rookie QB of all time. He will have no problem going against the defensive fronts in the NFC East during the regular season. As a Giants fan, I’m so jealous. I mean, how do they do it? First Feeley, then Kolb, then Kafka and now Foles… I don’t understand how they aren’t winning Super Bowls non-stop. Baffling.

I’m a Vick fan but it’s getting old. At this point in his career he should know how to try and avoid these hits already. Foles looked great and I am ready to just see what he can do behind center at this point.
