We crowned this guy when he led VT to a national championship game and went to the NFL. We were so happy for him and Atlanta. It was a success for all of his fans. He showed his true colors as he walked into the Richmond Federal Court. It was bad, real bad. Really sickening. There were many people that said he was “better” and he got another shot in Philly. My questions was “Really?”, but it was another shot at QB. There are many people on here who dispute his talents. I do too. I have followed each year. I love Philly Sports and his comments just cement what I have felt for 10 years. I have followed the guy with promise for 10+ years and it’s just wrong. He’s just a bad apple. He may not have had the best O-line. Why? Goodbye Vick for your last chance. Philly needs better. (and that is from a Steeler’s Fan). Yep, I admitted it.

This team quit, they quit early. Say what you want about Donovan McNabb, I don’t think anybody ever quit on him. Actually if I am right, when he mentioned the errors the team had they got mad.

“We played young” After losing the THIRD game in a row to Dallas Cowboys, a game that had only six runs and about thirty drops. Djax didn’t take kindly to that.

Don’t you get sick of cliche after cliche? We shouldn’t rip a guy for actually giving you a substantive quote. I think a different team would like this attitude, frankly.

Vick would have been better off watching others who were fired, but who take responsibility for the poor performance by their team. Vick isn’t taking or accepting any of the blame…….He should have. Dumping on the team when he also helped get the coach fired is not good.

Wow, 10 wins is quite a few for a first overall draft pick with a $100 million contract!

No there aren’t. Do anything you want with that team. It doesn’t matter. Whatever they do, if they hitch that wagon to Vick they’re doomed to failure. The only reason anybody can say that he’s an “NFL caliber QB” is that some NFL team was dumb enough to give him a job. He can’t read defenses. As if that weren’t enough, he’s fragile and he’s lost his legs… the only real physical weapon he ever had. He’s also a turnover machine. 10 INTs and 11 fumbles against 13 total TDs does not get the job done. And it’s only gonna get worse. He’s gonna be 33 by the time next season rolls around. If Vick were a Bad Newz Kennel dog he would have violently put himself down 5 years ago.

We know who some of the culprits are and look no further to the DIVA wide receiver who by his own admission last year said ” i wasn’t happy with my contract so i took plays off”.
For some here who says Vick is NOT a leader; well i can’t help you with what you are smoking, because when he was in Atlanta he took AVERAGE teams to the playoffs and did pretty well , Its funny like with anything in life when things aren’t going well stuff sure can get INVENTED.We sure didn’t hear this the season before when he guide the eagles to 10 WINS.

Even if I had a flat out guarantee that if he quarterbacked “my” football team he would win the Super Bowl, I still wouldn’t want him. Some trash just stinks no matter how much you try to to hide the scent. I don’t care if he was the best quarterback in the history of the NFL, he is a piece of trash as a human being.

I’d have to say I love this comment. Vick is def not a leader.

He took a ridiculous pounding week after week behind the worst offensive line in the league. Add a defense that had shoddy schemes all year and a passionless coaching job by Andy Reid, and it’s a wonder the Eagles won any games this year.

There are much bigger holes on the Eagles to fix than Michael Vick right now.

He is an average QB who makes a few amazing, athletic plays here and there and people onlt see the highlight reel. They don’t see the throws into the dirt or the ones over receiver’s heads. But hey that ain’t Vick’s fault right?

He really is the last one who should be criticizing someone else’s performance or lack thereof. I’ve give him a point or two for being tough, but overall, there’s not much there.

“Let’s see if some of you all may be suffering from a bit of hypocrisy: how many of you folks felt Tom Brady was out of line after the Jaguars game? And that was a win! Double standard or something else?”.

The difference here is that (a) Manning WOULD have addressed this as soon as it happened, (b) Brady DID address it, and (c) teammates WANT to play for those guys.

They practice day in and day out and not getting it in their heads, I don’t care how good of a quarterback a team has if the offensive line is not pulling their part of the deal that they was hired to do then the quarterback will get beat up in the pocket. Yes Micheal Vicks got scars on his body to prove that the line is not doing their job, all the coach can do is train them but he can’t make them play they best. But the coach catch the door when it should be the players who are not doing they job, Micheal Vicks is a good quarterback just need some good guys around him. And a coach only can do the best he can as a coach the players that are bought in for the job they are qualified for just need to do their job, coaches are not there to babysit these grown mens they knows their job.

Jason Babin, Nnamdi Asomugha, Desean Jackson, DRC, Demitrus Bell, King Dunlap.

Babin thankfully is already gone. I’d cut the rest of the cancers tomorrow if I could, starting with Nnamdi & Desean.

What does it matter how hard they did or didn’t try. Andy Reid is fired. As for the rest, some of you could try to define the word mercy. I’m not saying what he did was right by any means. But, he’s repeatly said the he’s sorry. What more can he do.
