I am a huge animal lover, so I have little to no respect for Mike Vick as a man, but I feel for him as a football player. It’s quite obvious that he lost his motivation and love for the game after the whole prison thing. There used to be a fire in his eyes when he played the game, now all I seem to ever see is defeat. Honestly, I don’t even think he tries his best. There is no passion there. Vick is a veteran QB with a lot of knowledge for the game, so maybe his place should be as a back up for a better team. That way he can still contribute without being in the lime light so much.

Vikings change to Joe Webb? No DUH! Unfortunately that would take the coaching staff surrendering their offensive egos and dropping the illusion the Vikings are or could be made into the 1985 Chicago Bears. Christian Ponder is no Jim McMahon! Make the change and take a chance with the extremely talented Webb Leslie!

Marty Morningweg’s fire has been a long time coming. If Juan can get fired so soon, why is Marty still around?

What I want to know is how it is that Romo can have a 5 pick and 4 Pick game and Orton backing him up yet no QB controversy?? But the PHilly phans are gung ho to bench 4X Pro bowler Vick for Nick Foles??? You’ve gotta be kidding me. There’s no way you toss this season into the can being just 1 game under .500 when history has proven nobody runs away with the NFC bEast!!! Patience is a virtue

Maybe Vick shouldn’t have spent so much on his wedding. I knew he was gonna need that million. If he was in the NBA it would be cool. They have guaranteed contract, but in the NFL the only thing guaranteed is your signing bonus. Every year after that is a year-to-year basis deal.

I think Andy Reid and the Eagles are running out of excuses of why they are terrible. Mike Vick lowest passer rating throws tons of interceptions most fumbles by any QB sounds like a winning combination to me.

There are some posts here from persons who have selected rather gross and inappropriate logins. Moderator: Please delete their posts.

Guys: Have a little class please.

Oh, and Andy Reid’s mistake was to hitch his wagon to a guy that’s never been a quarterback, just a guy blessed with a phenominal talent who can’t or won’t learn to play quarterback in the NFL.

they also need to let Vick run! they made him think like a pocket passer. he never wants to run. when there is no pressure, run then slide. this will hold this will hold the safeties then hit them deep. copy redskins playbook. they running it good

i think he should be a running back because he can’t trow but he can run

Vick is making more plays then any other qb could with his horrendous blocking from the oline. perhaps rg3 would do as good. he takes a two step drop and he already has to scramble even tho he has a 5 stop drop drawn up

Vick, Harvin, Peterson, Rudolf & Simpson would be a great offense. Ponder has those happy feet & he starts running and takes 20 steps and still in the same spot like a cartoon. Ponder will be like TJAC & be 5 wasted years trying to reach potential or Gannon who only got good 5 years after being traded.

If he is benched right after the Falcons, it would be the biggest case of poetic justice…for this Falcons fan.

Benching Vick would be like treating a broken arm with a knee brace.

What’s worse that they have continued to make excuses for the guy, or that they bid against themselves and gave him the huge contract?

Sorry but you don’t bench a guy like Vick unless your desperate to save your job.

You have to keep in mind, Vick’s line is in shambles. Andy needs to consider that when putting a young guy in that situation. Vick wasn’t the problem on Sunday…it was the defense. I don’t care how good the QB is, if the defense can’t get off the field.

I agree with the previous commenter, a McNabb interview could bring much needed perspective on the system of progressive elimination, also known as the Philadelphia version of Survivor.

Foles and Brees went to the same high school. Bet that hasn’t happened very often in the NFL.

He’s the best running back to ever fake be a quarterback…

I think the O/L needs help
The play calling is horrible. Run McCoy more
Stop allowing Vick from running around like a headless chicken.
Fire every body including the hot dog vendors.

1) The Falcons should have benched him years ago.

2) He would be just what the vikings need right now. a) His running would complement the aging Adrian Peterson. b) The vikings could bench their young pup until he learns what he is supposed to do. c) Vick might spark the go slow vikings.

3) How else will the vikings ever get a good QB? They have never drafted and developed a good QB (Tarkenton of ages ago was traded by the Giants). The vikings always use cast off QB’s from elsewhere.

4) The trouble with a vikings trade is “What do the vikings have that the Eagles would want in return?” The only answer is future draft picks.

He should have never been allowed back in the league.

That will go down as Goodell’s biggest mistake during his tenure.
