Isn’t the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?

Rex guaranteed a Super Bowl. He failed. So he guaranteed a Super Bowl the following season.

Last season he brought in high profile competition for Sanchez at QB. Epic Fail.

So by all means, bring in Vick. I’m sure Sanchez will respond well.

Enjoy watching Sanchez drop back 59 times every game, passing for 350 yards, and scoring 7 points and game. Just watch.

Love,

An Eagles Fan

Great! Bring Michael Vick and the ASPCA to the circus as well!

He’ll fit in well with Rex’s toe sucking tattoo wearing swinging lifestyle

We’ll also have the storyline of Sanchez’s crushed confidence (nice job there too Rex) and a salary cap nightmare and a long list of, shall we say, colorful personalities already on the Jets, and you’ve got the making of one GREAT Reality TV show.

Marty Mornhinweg has a negative stigma and perception attached to him just like the Jets. He fits his new employer.

Truth be told, Marty Mornhinweg has always been a very good offensive coordinator. He took over playcalling duties from Andy Reid in 2006 and The Eagles broke several team records and a couple of league records. Just go read his bio on eagles.com for further facts.

The Eagles from 2006 to 2012 lead the entire league in plays over 25 yards. Many of his coordinated offenses have ranked in the top 10. 5 different QB’s that worked under him made the pro bowl. He was also voted 2008 assistant of the year. This is very far from a “bad hire”.

Well now that Ryan Leaf is officially behind bars, it only makes sense that Vick is the next best side show for the team.

Eagles have put up some great offensive numbers in the past 7 (not this injury year). The problem with MM is that everyone knows he is going to throw. Even when he had Shady. Deep on 3rd down and short.

Players must fit his system. When his OL was decimated he still looked to throw deep instead of just getting the ball into the athlete’s hands and letting them run with it… Slants, crossings, etc.

Best of luck with MM. I’m glad he is gone.

The NY press love this development for the chance to get Vick in their crosshairs.

Look for them (and this site) to cram that drama down our throats as they do with any other run of the mill NFL news that gets overblown because it comes out of NYC.

Marty is a really good offensive coordinator.The Eagles offense wasn’t their problem this past year it was their injuries and defense.I think alot of people have short memories.

I’m surprised Mornhinweg gets another shot at an OC job in the NFL this quickly. His style of play calling can be summed up entirely by the term, “head scratchers.”

What the Jets can expect:

1. Marty will spend more time trying to out-think the opponent’s defensive coordinator, than focusing simply on how best to utilize his own players.
2. Starting QB throwing an ill-advised 50+ pass attempts per game, even against teams with dismal run defense.
3. Inexplicable running calls on 3rd down in non-short yardage situations.
4. A unwillingness to stick with what works in fear of being considered “predictable.”

In his 7 seasons with the eagles, they were top 10 in yards and points 5 times. Even this year they were 15th in yards, which is top half of the league (and their worst ranking under MM). And since when does it mean that Vick has to follow MM? Maybe he can actually develop Sanchez into something.

My first reaction on seeing the headline was, “Sweet Jesus, have mercy on those poor Jets fans.” And I’m neither a Christian nor a Jets fan.
