Vick is tough, but is NOT a leader. I remember when he threw that pick in the EZ vs. BAL and he’s sulking on the sidelines saying “I shouldn’t be letting y’all down” and his entire OL is trying to bring his confidence back up.

Foles will eradicate all those things because if the OL isn’t protecting him, he’ll be all over them insteading of sulking and apologizing.

@lennydpocketqb:

Dude just stop. You haven’t witnessed every game for the last 2 years. You have no idea what your talking about. Reid is done. Write it down. The next team he coaches will be lucky to go 8-8 with him. His play calling is atrocious time management is ridiculous and the fact he puts all his eggs into an offense that no longer works in today’s nfl (unless you have the correct personnel) is the reason he’s out of Philly. I was a supporter up until last year. Now it’s time to move on…bring on a fresh face. There’s plenty of talent to work with on both sides of the ball.

The whole world seems to believe that Vick’s performance this year is everyone’s fault but his. I mean, the excuse-making part I get–people have been forgiving this guy’s lack of achievement and worse yet his aberrant behavior since he came into the league. What I don’t get is the idea that somehow his play is worse this season when the truth is he’s the same player now that he’s always been–over-matched, over-hyped, and overrated!

No Qb can successfully win with this coaching staff and the O-line. Yes, we all know the O-line is depleted and horrible. So what is the proper adjustment? …Run more and run quicker plays designed to get the ball out faster. Reid has not consistently done this. Instead he continuously puts Vick in positions to fail. Reid is a bad situational play caller and a bad time manager, which are the main reasons he hasn’t won a SB in Philly. Bring in a coach that has a proper run/throw balance, and we will see less turnovers, more points, and more wins. I like Foles, but Reid’s play calling will make him fail as well.

Vick, Reid, and Eagles are a joke. It’s a rap Philly.

It’s true Vick has caused more turnovers than some teams, but much will depend on how Foles does this week behind that same offensive line. If he fails as badly as Vick, Reid might have been right about Vick and the problem is not at QB. However, if Foles does well, that might point the fickle finger of fate back at Vick.

100% of the problem is the fault of Reid. All his choices out there. All his coaches out there. All his play calling out there. All his flopo draft choices out there. All his backups out there. Its that simple. Vic would be having a darn good year with support.

The fighting thing? I think its laughable that you dont even know what he did, and couldnt take the time to find out before making such a remark. Try torture/abuse….

…Sad you get over that so easily!

No, but Lovie Smith let Cutler down by letting him dive head first for a first down after the massive helmet to helmet collision. Sad

@all32 You think I’m dumb, okay, you’re entitled to your opinion. But, so am I. All I’m trying to say is, even though Vick’s performance level has decreased since he got paid (largely because of the offensive line), he gives it everything he’s got on every play. He hasn’t thrown his offensive line under the bus, when he easily could have with they way they are playing. He takes responsibility for his play, and that doesn’t happen much anymore around the NFL. With that being said, I do think the Eagles need a new QB, and they may have the answer in Nick Foles.

He’s not really good enough to let anyone down. Wise fans / NFL people saw this coming

The Philadelphia Eagles will not get a coach better than Andy Reid. Write this statement down on a sheet of paper and post it on your refrigerator door Eags fans. You are about to enter the dark ages. See you in 10 years.

A lot of people out there call him overrated, and blaming him… lol. What were you saying 2 years ago when he had some protection and lit the league up?????? Now, his line is terrible and he’s under constant pressure, and is turning the ball over. I’m pretty sure Defense 101 is put pressure one QB, QB then makes mistakes… So many Looky-loo football fans out there these days..

The REAL question is, will Jon Gruden want Vick, Foles, or draft his own guy?

Andy Reid, Marty Minionwheg, Howie Roseman, and Jeffery Lurie let the Eagles and their fans down not Michael Vick.

I know Lurie isn’t going anywhere but I hope someway somehow Roseman gets fired after this season along with Andy and Marty. I know his contract just got extended but the Eagles need a new organizational philosophy in the front office as well as on the sidelines.

Fire Roseman for bringing in all these apathetic mercenaries Lurie it’s the only way.

Vick you did let your team down. That’s the ups and downs of a season. QBs always get too much of the blame and too much of the credit. Losing is never on one guy though, it’s called the ultimate team sport for a reason.

I think it’s laughable that some of you will never get over fighting thing. You probably typed your comment on your nifty child made iPhone while stuffing your face with a hamburger. Get off your soapbox and kick rocks with open toe sandals. Odds are you are not as righteous as you claim to be.

How ’bout them Cowboys

Really? The cowboys have one 1 playoff win in the last 14 years, while the eagles have won 10. Before you start pounding your chest, realize that neither organization has accomplished anything during Andy Reid’s 14 years.

The only offensive line that I have seen that was worse than Phillys current line was the OL that Big Ben won his first Superbowl with.

Vick and Reid should sign their knee pads and exchange them..you know.. so they have something special to remember each other by.. after they split at the end of the season.. maybe make a mix tape as well.

if Vick let his team down and they’re gonna do a clean up, then that o-line should go also! they have the worse o-line I’ve seen in a very long time
