ugh, I know he’s looked horrible in Arizona, but I still wish the Eagles kept Kolb as a pocket passer, and traded Vick.

That still photo looks bad, but the game didn’t. Even in the photo, you can see the bulk of the guys helmet on Vicks left side. He caught him fully with his left shoulder – the helmet contact was incidental.

Besides, it’s Vick. He’s doing the Eagles a favor.

“I have to go through my progressions to the best of my abilities.”

You’ve NEVER went through your progressions, Mike. It’s the TE and then run, hence the injuries.

Keep trying to fool everyone though, you’ve managed to make a career out of it.

Vick is not a tough QB. If you want a tough QB just look north at Eli Manning and how he stood tall in this year’s NFC Championship Game against the 49er’s. If Vick played in that game against that defense they’d have carried him out in a body bag. Vick is a china doll who can’t take a hit. Give him two more years and he won’t be able to rely on those fabulous athletic skills to make plays with his legs. Next he’ll be suing the league

I’ll never understand how he can play a single down in the NFL with out wearing the best flack jacket available. He only wears them after he is already torn up inside. You can’t tell me in this age of Kevlar helmets that they can’t invent a flack jacket that is flexible enough to let Vick be Vick, but strong enough to let Vick take horrific body blows and pop right up.

Something with rows of durable padding that are separated enough to let him move his torso and throw accurately but still be protected. It’s like they’re just hoping for the best, screw that! If you want a shot at a SB, get his guy in ironman armor out there.

Tom Brady is flabbergasted.

Isn’t that exactly what “dynasty quarterbacks” are SUPPOSED to do?

Please watch the clip of the entire play. Jermaine Cunningham clearly led with his shoulder despite what the still-shot shows.

Getting a little tired of this nonsense. “I can’t change, because I won’t be as good…”

1) You’re useless to the team when you can’t stay on the field
2) Throwing hail Mary’s off your back foot and exposing your ribs to a free shot from a defender, in a preseason game no less, is not playing good football

Great and legal hit!

Of course he led with his helmet. How else would he hit him square in the chest so hard to knock him out of the game? But noone mentions it bc Vick isn’t Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. Happens every single game to Vick and no flags. Kudos to Florio to actually pointing that out instead of just ripping Vick for not protecting himself more. Although, he does still need to put more effort into avoiding big hits.

Way to throw blood into the shark tank. Philadelphia Eagle players are the sharpest bunch.

If he hit Tom Brady like that, Cunningham would have been arrested on the spot.
