It just goes to show that just because you played football, it doesnt mean you know anything about talent. Thanks for making that abundantly clear, Jaws.

Eagles should switch back to the colors Jaws wore. The current midnight green is dull.

Ask the true Philly fans how they feel about Vic.

Compare Vick’s career numbers to Kordell Stewart and they are not that different. The difference is Vick got non stop hype from Espn.

Sure Vick looks like a great player when sportscenter only shows you his 5 good plays each week. They don’t show the 40 other plays where he misread the defense.

I love watching clips on Lawerence Taylor crushing Jaws in old clips on YouTube.

Jaws is too entrenched now as ‘establishment’ media. Conventional wisdom thinking. Vick was a questionable decision maker in his prime. He’s nowhere near starting QB material anymore. Eagles got sucked in. Should have looked at Atlanta 2-4 years before he left versus immediately after. That alone would have told you all you need to know about Vick as a ‘starting’ NFL QB.

Technically, Jaws is right – when you look at NFL starters like Kolb, Skelton, Lindley, Ponder, Sanchez, Weedon, Garrett, Fitzpatrick, Locker… Vick IS quality in comparison.

Vick has never been more than a below average starter.
56% completion rate. 122 tds against 166 turnovers.

He’s NEVER been any more than a few highlight clips for ESPN.

Not a quality starter.

He can be if placed in a situation like Russell Wilson. It’s a predominant running team in Seattle, but off bootlegs, play-action, or outside the pocket he could launch deep balls if he has home run WRs.

Wilson is intelligent and accurate, two things Vick has never been nor ever will be. Vick has always gotten way, way too much credit from people considering his actual accomplishments.

“Vick had great success in Atlanta ”

Seriously? He won 2 of 4 playoff games in Atlanta. He got 2 coaches fired with his “great success”, he played all 16 games in a season one time. He’s never had back to back winning seasons. He’s been a turnover machine his whole career. Since 2009 he’s been playing for one of the premier QB friendly head coaches in all of football. Remember Detmer, Feeley, Garcia?? All of them inproved their play under Reid, except for 4-5 games in 2010, Vick has never improved or changed his game. He’s been in the league since 2001 & still cannot read a blitz or read defensive coverages.

He’s a “great” failure is what he is.

Jaws knows the kind of bidding war from a bunch of teams that’s bound to occur in the pursuit for Michael’s services. He’s putting this out there so the Eagles really make out on a deal, getting high draft picks – that’s right – picks, because they are giving up their whole offense practically, in such a stellar player.

Jaworski is to quarterbacks what the NRA is to gun owners…
ESPN’s 30-year obsession with quarterbacks is just plain creepy.

If Mike Vick is not worth 15 million dollars than Matt Schaub, Tony Romo and Joe Flacco are not worth 14 million nor is Jay Cutler, Phillip Rivers, and Matt Stafford worth 13 million.
Alot of quarterbacks who are not and will not become elite quarterbacks should take a paycut.
Post a list of all 32 starting quarterbacks and their salaries so we can have a real discussion about this.
How come Phillip Rivers is getting a pass from the media when he has performed worse than Vick all season? Is it really all Norv’s fault?
What has Jay Cutler ever done to deserve 13 million?
I am not a Vick fan but I watch bad quarterbacks on losing teams every week and Vick is not the only one who needs a paycut?

Vick needs to change his game plus the o has to play to his strengths…roll outs, option/spread…Vick like Jay Cutler takes way too many hits outside the pocket…get out of bounds fellas! Oh ya..and taking the check down or pitching the rock out of bounds is not necessarily a bad thing boyz.. Vick may be the only way the Jets can get to the playoffs next year…at least they have a decent oline too.

Vick had great success in Atlanta at least one year when he had a big tight end and tall receivers in White and (can’t remember his name). He also had Lightning and thunder at rb. That’s when he was great. Even while he put little preparation in.

Put him on a similar team now? With his greater dedication and less mobility, if he can put the past of running past defenders and let those around him shine, dude could lead a team to dangerous heights.

Anyone who thinks Vick just runs around like a chicken with its head cut off, clearly doesn’t watch Eagles games.

Jaws took too many shots to the head if he believes that. Vick makes poor decisions consistently and is a turnover machine. He has no pocket presence, just starts running around the backfield like a chicken that had its head cut off.

Jaworski is about as useful for good QB analysis as Mike Vick is for QB play.

They’re both terrible, and world be better with new jobs.
