It is about race always have always will know black QB will get the support like a white QB. Look at romo numbers 4 INT leads the league in turnovers where is his article up here look at sanchez numbers how about fitzpatrick or weeden or bradford or kolb or skeleton, Rivers where are the hot seat for these guys none why they get passes every week. Cam is getting the vick treatment and RG3 will get it to when he’s not performing well so dont say its not about race cause it is.

Did I read that on e comment right? Vick is faring poorly because people are racist?

While making my critique of Vick, I wasnt even thinking about his race. I dont make a habit of looking at the color of other peoples skin and then using that as part of my judgement of them.

Anyone who uses the word “racist” these days is a racist. It isnt the 1950′s anymore. Believe it or not, racism is a thing of the past.

Here is a little something to chew on if you think race factors into everything. Do a simple internet search for Mike Vick. Check his personal history, his career stats. ask yourself if all his publicly known life is hall of fame caliber. Then imagine if he were a white QB. Think he’d be where he is right now? Starting QB in the NFL with a 100 million dollar contract? I highly doubt it. Race factors in 0% of the time will 99% of the people. Especially fans of NFL Football.

Long overdue. Foles will turn this season around like Vick could not. He moved them in the pre season when Vick couldnt and he’ll do it again now

Only reason Vick is a QB in the NFL is Tony Dungy.

Falcons fans have been predicting this since Vick got back in the league. He’ll show you flashes of amazing play, followed by weeks of mediocrity. Same old Vick, was just a matter of time

Hmmm I see the racist, biggoted, HATER commenters hiding behind their computers to talk “ish” are alive and strong. U bee-atches are pathetic! Mike Vick, being benched for a ANY QB is a complete JOKE. He is a pro bowl QB, should have won MVP 2 years ago, and the Eagles are losing due to. A. Defense is sofT, and cant cover any body(to hold a lead), B. O Line SUX..period., C. Play calling is horrible. D. YOU lames, with no confidence support in YOUR home town team, and never have gotten over the dog thing OR your internal racist bias.

Vick is NOT the problem, YOU are.

The problem isn’t Vick (I can’t believe I’m actually defending him) but Andy Reid. Who’s Reid going to scapegoat when hes gone?

The Eagles’ offensive problems can be traced to a terrible offensive line. It’s similar to the Chargers’ (my team) Philip Rivers. He started “going bad” when the team lost Pro Bowlers Marcus McNeil and Kris Dielman to injuries. Hopefully, Philadelphia will get Jason Peters back soon along with some stability on the O-line.

Nick Foles has a strong arm but the knock on him has always been his lack of mobility. If he is inserted into the starting lineup, he will get killed. For now, the Eagles need a running quarterback, not a quarterback running for his life.

OK, how come Brock Osweiler can’t get on the field!?! Bust!

Only way Osweiler starts this year is if FrankenMannings head falls off and cannot be bolted back on-that is unless the Broncos wrap up a playoff birth early with nothing to play for by week 15 or so.

While I would like to see Foles get a shot, Eskin has a habit of getting stories wrong. Hopefully, he got this one right.

I like Foles since his Junior year at AZ. Something about him makes me think he will be a good-great NFL QB.

He’s go a lot of it factor, and he just makes plays. Looking forward to watching him once they bench the dog prince.

Please tell me those of you who are trashing the O-Line while proclaiming McCoy needs the ball more have a secret plan for that working? How can a bad line that can’t stop a slinky from pressuring Vick open holes for him to run through?

The Saints defense is the worst in NFL History. The Eagles could sign McNabb off the street, start him, and his performance against the Saints would be enough to merit a $100 million extension. No matter who the Eagles start against the Saints it will look brilliant.

For once I’m feeling almost sorry for Mike Vick.

But then I remember that he has a massive contract and he’s still a bum.

By: wizahdry

wizahdry — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:59:04 +0000

Makes perfect sense. Vick is done. He is a turnover machine. He can’t win games with his arm and doesn’t run a 4.2 anymore. I’ve seen him try to run and caught from behind by linebackers and some d linemen. That never happened in his prime.

Might as well see what Folks has got…If the answer is nothing than It’s good to know since Philly will be making big off season changes anyway.

Vick is not a good QB but he is a highlight reel player. Those highlights are why he has lasted this long. He is out there because there is potential for something great to happen and everybody keeps waiting. The problem is that one or two great plays do you no good when the ball is turned over regularly or the defense can’t make a stop. Like I said, Vick is not a good NFL QB but he is not the only reason the Eagles are playing bad. The O-line is garbage, the defense is not finishing off plays and playcalling/personnel packages on both sides of the ball have been situationally wrong all year. Reid’s run is almost over. He’s burned out and so is his team. A change is coming and it is sorely needed.

“And while it won’t be easy for Foles to make his debut on a Monday night in the Superdome, the Saints defense isn’t exactly potent. Except, of course, when compared to the Eagles’ defense.”

Saints fan here: sorry, but no. The Saints D is absolutely the worst in the league. The Eagles D is somehow much better.

Sad!! Vick isn’t the problem with this team. It’s their line, their coaching and his play calling. It’s PAINFULLY obvious to anybody watching that he is TERRIBLY underutilizing Mccoy. If Vick can’t escape the pressure and avoid hits, do you think Foles can? Only way to keep him upright is completely change the offensive philosophy. My question is: Why not do that with VICK back there??

The Eagles will inflict multiple injuries on the rest of their opponents players.
First up is that classless punk Drew Brees.
He will suffer a career ending injury next Monday night against the Eagles.

Wow if all Eagles fans are as classless as you sir, sign me up!

It isnt the O-line. people. Watch Vick in the pocket. If he stays in trying to be a pocket passer, he takes 4-5 seconds to progress through his reads. Half the time he decides to scramble from the pocket so the linemen dont know where he is and ends up getting hit.

The hits Vick takes are soley on Vick. The O-line cant use a blocking scheme when the QB either takes too long to read the play or runs away from his protection. Yeah,

Vick is just that bad. If he werent, he’d have as much a chance of getting benched as Brees. What Vick once had is gone. Partly because he has lost a step and partly because the NFL has adjusted to that particular style of play.

Landry Jones sucks. The only QB worth drafting this year will be Geno Smith and he will be no RG3 or Luck. If Andy would of just left his pathetic team lose out last year, then that punk fraud of a quarterback would have already been replaced by RG3. What a mess…

Nick Foles. Rhymes with Vick folds. Let the rook learn in real time, since Mr. Vick has proven he’s no longer the future of the franchise.

Reid isn’t going ANYWHERE. Lurie’s remarks at the end of last season were LIPSERVICE. He gave Reid too much power over the years, and is virtually afraid to get rid of him. He needs to go NOW. NOT wait. Pay him to stay home. Things CAN’T get worse.

Trade Vick for some lineman.
