I love the comment from the vikings fan where these two sentences where submitted consecutively -

“He has a great arm, just needs to stay healthy.”
“They can option left to Kahlil’s side.”

Ponder’s first full season as a starter, he went 10-6. Rodgers first full season as a starter, he went 6-10. Playing devil’s advocate here; Ponder may grow…

a decision HAS BEEN MADE it is to spend 3mil or less to see if he works for the new coach if so he stays and cost’s a lot more money. if not he is traded or released and they will pay the 3 or the difference between the signing team and the 3. sounds like a decision to me.

The media is so much more wrapped up in Vick than the fans in Philly are. By far, the fans in Philly want Foles and/or to draft a QB to challenge him, rather than keeping Vick. Vick and Reid were a package deal and both have to go so we can fully cleanse this team and start over.

Mike Vick is a talented athlete but is not a good NFL QB. He can’t read defenses. He reads his offensive players instead. He looks at guys as the routes develop. That is why he holds the ball forever. He is playing back-yard ball. Unfortunately, “get open” and “just go deep” are not plays in the NFL. All the guys claiming he is great are basing that on a few performances (over a 10 year career) and the hope that the potential is fulfilled. He makes hi-light plays but has never been consistent and his athletic talent advantage is no longer there.

How about you cut Vick lose and DON’T pay him the $3 million, and drop our season ticket prices? That’s worth about $50 a seat…

I’ve never been a big fan of Vick. The team is starting a new era. It’s time to cut bait and move on.

Ooh, keep him on the Dream Team!

Or ship him to Minny, as McBadd has paved the way.

Clearly, nothing would stop either team.

Anyone that takes a chance on this guy doesn’t want to win. He’s had many more suspect & pedestrian games than great games. Every year he’ll give you one or two great games & the rest will be either brutal or boarderline ordinary. He’s always had turnover issues, even back with the Falcons. He’s never been able to read defenses, he’s always had isseus with pre-snap blitz reading too. He’s never knows when to just be quiet & play. The guy is not a big game QB and never will be. Good luck to whomever is desperate to sign him.

I have hope in Kelly and I believe he can make Vick more confortable in his system.

Vick was able to get away with the inconsistency and inability to read a defense when he could routinely beat linebackers to the corner. Now that he’s lost a step and can’t always do that, he’s no longer a franchise quarterback. I’d say he’s a borderline starter at absolute best.

“The job of a quarterback is simple. He has to let it happen, and not make it happen. We want to move forward,” Kelly said. “We want the ball out of the quarterback’s hands in 1.5 seconds. That does not mean holding the ball until 2.5, waiting for someone to get open.” Kelly went on to say that “every sack is the quarterback’s fault.” It’s perhaps a bad sign for Michael Vick, who has taken 85 sacks in his last 35 games.

With Chip Kelly saying this, Vick is as good as gone, thank goodness!

Vick needs to go a team like the Vikings because even with his age and rapidly declining skill set he represents a huge upgrade over that Christian Ponder bust.

As a life long Viking fan living in Philly area, halohink you are off base on Vick. He is done. I am not sure there is an Eagle fan that wants him to stay, what does that tell you. I understand Ponder, the new Jeff George, is not that good but a better option then Vick.

Think about McNugget …

Yeah sure, maybe we can trade him to Minnesota for AP????

Anyone that takes him will have to change their team’s offense a lot to accommodate his style so it reduces those teams that are willing.

Halo you’re delusional. You’ve got a better chance with joe webb. He’s slow, stupid, and horribly inaccurate.

Andy Reid gets QB’s hurt with his 50 pass a game offense. In the right system Vick has plenty left. Vick was a bright spot despite bad coaching and a bad team with no heart.

The Eagles will be “dogged” by this decision.

Trust me. Please trust me. You want to stick with Ponder.

There is a reason Vick was named the third string quarterback by the end of the season. To know what that reason is just watch the final game of the season, which Vick ended up starting because Foles got injured.

Jim Mora Sr. and those old Falcons’ fans are right, Vick is a coach killer. Reid is the the latest Vicktim.

Why is this a tough decision? He is a turnover waiting to happen; he can’t stay healthy; he has trouble outrunning defensive linemen; and and he still can’t read defenses.

The Eagles will win Super Bowl 48 in February 2014.
In the 2013 season, the Eagles will inflict multiple injuries on opposing players.

eagles will hold on to him in hopes for a draft day trade by a team that didn’t do its homework and fill a need. Shame Al Davis isn’t still around I could see him going to Oakland for a first or second round conditional pic based on playing performance.

Go ahead Ziggy pull the trigger!!!! We’ll take your 2nd round pick for him. Or a 3rd. Load up on the draft picks Chip, you have a ton of cuts to make and holes to fill. Look for this draft to be one of the Eagles best, being that Kelly knows all these players already unlike the goof out in KC now who picks guys with high motors, n seems to throw darts at a board full of names yet never seems to hit a good one. Still cant believe he took Brandon Graham over Earl Thomas, JPP n Dez Bryant in the 1st round of the 2010 draft. To Grahams defense he did play well when givin the chance late in the season. But still…

Trade/ Vick, Nnamdi
Cut/ Vick(15.5MM), Nnamdi,(15MM), Bell(1MM), Dunlap, Matthews, Jordan, Patterson(2.9MM), for starters and I’m missing a few other worthless players that Andy Reid drafted or signed because he is a terrible talent evaluator.

Thats a savings of like 34MM right there! Go sign Byrd, n Bowe as your two big signings then add depth to the secondary, LB’s and O-Line via the draft and resonably priced FA’s.

And with that, Michael Vick will be released on February 5th.

So if the decision is not about the money, then it must be about his ability – correct?

In which case I really don’t understand the delay.

Nothing kills the excitment of a new era like keeping the same washed up players
