Karma has Mikey right were he should be – on a team with a terrible offensive line and getting crushed time after time after time! My two favorite teams are the Chargers and anybody playing the Eagles while he is still their QB.

The game is won and lost at the time of scrimmage.

Vick is no Manning/Roth/Brady/Brees in terms of making split-second decisions whilst having almost 1000lbs worth of guys running at you with hands in your face.

I leave Rogers out of that list simply because he has not performed quite as well under pressure as the ones listed.
————————-

What the heck are you talking about, you’ll leave Rodgers off that list??? He’s been one of the most sacked QBs in the league over the past 3 seasons and he’s only got a Super Title and MVP, Regular Season MVP to show for it Add to the fact, he had one of the single greatest seasons a QB has ever had last year. Oh and he’s on pace for 4400 yards, 44 TDs and has a 107.4 passer rating this year. What does a guy have to do to be considered the best QB in the game?

I’m not an Eagles fan so I obviously missed some of the fine points along the way…but how did it come to this? Their line looks as bad as any I’ve ever seen. Vick is going to end up in the hospital.

And how does a team with a line that can’t pass protect end up passing on nearly every down with deep drops that require blocks to be held for several seconds? I’m convinced a new coach/coordinator who was willing to pound the ball with McCoy and employ quick-drop throws would have them looking respectable almost immediately.

All of you need to shut the **** up and get off the mans back!!! I condoned the animal situation and the man paid his price to society by serving prison time. Since coming out!! He has changed his life and has been a class act since! Unless you have walked a mile in his shoes! You have no f****ng opinion!!

Its hard to make a play when your back is on the ground 80% of the time!! The changes need to be made on the offensive line!! The whole line needs to be rebuilt and give the man protection..

We have the same problem in San Diego.. Phillip cant make a play unless he has time to throw.

Peyton manning and tom Brady would look amaetur behind that line. I don’t even like the eagles. It doesn’t matter who they put back there if there’s no time

I listened for years how bad our offensive line was up in New England with Drew Bledsoe at QB. Tom Brady steps in and all of a sudden they start going to pro-bowls. Same thing happened down in Dallas with Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith. I’m not saying Vick is the only problem that team has… but there’s something to be said for a quick 3 step drop and release. That offense has not adapted to suit his type of game… whatever that is at this point in his career.

Both Vick & the O-line suck. It’s not an either/or thing.

Phillys troubles go far beyond the quarterback but he is always the one the spotlight shines on in bad times and good. he should stay where he is.

I am not an Eagles fan but NO ONE could play with an O line like that. This is not on Vick. You can’t make a play when the Line folds like a house of cards in less than 2 seconds. He really seemed surprised about his brothers comments. I hope he got on the phone and ripped him a new one!! His brother had a shot at VT but threw that away so now he is trying to mess up his brother. He needs to shut up!

The dream team that was to become a “dynasty” looks more like a Division III football team.

That team has no leaders on it. On defense or offense. The last leader they had was Dawkins. This team sucks period.

Who cares theyll all be gone next year except for McCoy. Reid will be in forced retirement, Vick will be a backup and DeSean will be sent packing to a team stupid enough to take most of his salary. When all you have is trash talk and cant back it up you all go down.

Am I the only one that thought those guys last night were flying out there? I felt like I was watching a track meet.

That was besides the point, sorry for digressing. But, as much as I believe Michael Vick is an average quarterback, there were times that his lineman could stop a junior varsity lineman. He would receive the snap and have Cameron Jordan or Will Smith in his face.

But, his inability to make audibles at the line of scrimmage is an obvious sign that he just isn’t as advanced at the position as you’d hope for a veteran. I believe that Andy Reid is at the core of the problem but he’ll probably sit Vick and replace him with Nick Foles to try and get some more slack but it won’t happen Andy!

Why does the national media give him a drop of attention?
He sounds like a field hand.
He doesn’t use verbs in his sentences. He is vulgar. He is prone to exaggeration and excesses of vanity; self importance. He is obviously very ignorant. He sounds like he has no more than a third grade education.
Is the media trying to exploit another honey boo boo?

Philly’s O-line made the Saints D-line look like gang-busters out there which is certainly not usually the case!!

How do you headline an article with something that wasn’t said? If he didn’t know his brother tweeted that crap and obviously didn’t say during the press conference he wants out of Philly, how can you title the article “Michael Vick responds to brother’s tweets saying he wants out of Philly”? What response? Where is this response? Did he call you guys himself and tell you this? Florio, aren’t you an attorney or something? Not even in your article does it say anything close to him saying that?

I can’t stand watching ESPN because of their BS and all of their reporters contradicting themselves with crap all of the time but this article is just straight up, not what it says it is. Have you lost all sense of credibility?

Wow people are blind. Vick sucks. It’s not the oline that makes him to dumb to play the position. Pittsburgh won a Super Bowl with a worse oline. Lost one too. He has accounted for 90% of the teams turnovers alone! He has way to much bad karma anyways. He will Never succeed again. Bank on it.

Better QBs make due with the same if not worse olines. Vick sucks. I hope he electrocutes his brother for those dumb tweets. Nothing will get better untill Reid is gone. Been the case for almost 10 yrs. He wasted Westbrooke, he will waste McCoy. Keep firing scapegoats. It will only get worse.

His ability to scramble is the only major offense they have.

first and foremost Marcus is a fan just like the rest of us and is entitled to rant about anything his brother is going thru…. Stop getting personal on guys you dont know cause they dont like what they see… Vick is working hard and let your team play a game without 4 starting offensive linemen, he will be dead unles he is RG3, Freeman, Rothlesberger or Cam cause they know how to move… Now with thatr said those lineman are professionals and that coaching staff are long time veterans of this game that should be making adjustments and that isnt happening enough or at the critical times…. plenty of yards gained byt the eagles and finally some plays made on defense, they did what they could but got beat by a better team period, jail, dogs have nothing to do at this point for his brother or hin with losing games, coaching and execution does…

The Dog Killer better get his act together – there is no other NFL team that will tolerate the baggage he brings with him and neither will their fans.

Vick has never been better than an average quarterback who could run. Now he is increasingly looking dreadful and ineffective and not that effective running.

The Redskins have a similar quarterback who is really a running back who thinks he can throw. To date the Redskin QB hasn’t killed or profited from killing dogs, but he may considering how quickly he is sinking this season. Who knows, the Redskins may be dumb enough to want two mediocre quarterbacks on the team that look like twins.
