It’s not personal, it’s all about how he plays. This guy is a horrible ball manager. He is 32, he will never learn how to play the position correctly. I can’t take how he plays. It’s awfull. He turns the ball over constantly. Let him walk.

How come the black QB and Head Coach gets so little time before people’s patience wear out?
–

What a joke. If any other quarterback had 6 interceptions and 8 fumbles in 5 games.. he would at the very least be benched. In fact, he would probably get cut. Keep bitching about racism being alive and making yourself look absolutely foolish.

As for Hue Jackson.. Yes, it was a terrible firing. But that is a reflection of how inept the organization is, not his skin colour.

And what was it that Vick did to HIS underachieving dogs ?

Since you’re forcing us to respond to the race card: Hue Jackson was fired by Oakland’s GM Reggie McKenzie. Reggie McKenzie happens to be… black. Yet he is the same guy who is retaining Dennis Allen.

So presumably you’re calling Reggie McKenzie a racist?

Mike Vick went to the NFC championship his first year, he’s 3-2 this year…worst season was 8-8 and that was on the D Coordinator.

Our own Hue Jackson goes 8-8 his rookie year as Head Coach and gets fired. Dennis Allen is on his way to a 2-14/4-12 season and everybody around here is asking for patience even the media.

Racism is still alive.

I am a Raiders fan who lives in Philly, and you are a moron.

Mike Vick is a turnover machine who is “line of scrimmage” illiterate. Her can read a blitz to save his life. Much of the issues you see with his line are due to a lack of pre-snap adjustments.

Hue was 8-8, and his team would have been 10-6 if he didn’t lead the league in stupid penalties, push for the Palmer trade (set us back for another few years) and mishandle everything that he touched (McFadden has a Lisfrac and was never IR’d?!? – Palmer played after being with the team for like…3 days – etc).

Hue was a great coordinator but a mediocre head coach (regardless of his color).

Mike and Hue aren’t exactly Warren Moon and Mike Tomlin…

Ummmm……..You do of course realize that Jackson was fired by an African-American GM?

Right?

Are you serious dude? Pull the race card? How about when Tebow came on the scene. Poor passing, run first kind of player. Everyone says he won’t last, can’t play QB ect. Did you hear anyone say it’s because he’s white? Get off the race issue fool, it has no place in the NFL. Idiot.

man your an idiot, do you even watch the game? the eagles have won 2 games just by dumb luck, browns dropped an interception on a bad throw by Vick, eagles d kept them in the game with ravens, Vick is playing horrible and d is winning the games. at least you can do is pay attention. unbelievable!

He should curtail running like a banshee and pass the ball to McCoy and pass out of bounds or run out of bounds.
He is no good to anyone, on the bench injured

I do know Foles would have a learning curve but protecting the ball and throwing short passes is really not a bad way to go.”

I agree. But this needs to happen in 2013 not right now. If the Eagles start Foles this year they are waving the white flag and surrendering their season.

I want to have faith in Vick I really do. I want to believe he can take the Eagles deep into the playoffs but if I was a betting man I’d say that next year Vick won’t be wearing midnight green anymore.

His contract is renegotiated to a more cap friendly and palatable number based upon his performance over the entire season.

Regarding Foles, he’s in the most enviable position. Backup quarterback who played well in the limited appearances. Could be great. Could be A.J. Feeley.

I mean, how dare he be the quarterback of a team that’s leading their division! With a winning record!

Can’t stand how Vick is so terrible. I mean, if they had a real quarterback, they’ll be leading the…

I mean, if he didn’t have so many turnovers and run so much, then he… would be ragged on by the media and the fans for staying in the pocket- especially with a terrible O-line.

But, wait- it’s all Obama’s, I mean, Vick’s fault that they are losing… I mean, WINNING their division!

(What idiots!)

Or maybe we are actually watching him play and not just judging him on his won loss record.

People criticize Mark Sanchez all the time and he went to more conference championships than Vick.

I doubt many teams will take a chance on him for anything more than a backup. He could start in KC. But I find it hard to believe any team would start him over a young qb or a seasoned veteran. I could see him winding up in Baltimore though if Flacco ends on a bad note.
