everyone is hating on this, but i think there is a bigger plan at work here, so you bring vick back at one year saving cap space, who by the way is the only qb available to test out this offense, even with turnover and injury concerns, while they switch to a 3-4 defense which will probably take two years to get all the proper players in place. They trade Nick Foles for a draft pick, and then go all in on Johnny Football next year, I think they’re looking big picture.

Coach Kelly has stated before the trait he values most in a QB is his ability to read the defense…so this is obviously so a trade can be orchestrated..right??

Once again, Vick shows he’s a bonehead. If he had held out, and forced the Eagles to either pay him or cut him, he could have; gotten his full year of $15 million, or been cut and started a bidding war for his services between the 6-8 teams DESPERATE for an experienced QB, getting a multi-year deal. After another year of maybe not even starting for the Eagles, he’ll be that much older with another mediocre seasons stats, and in a much weaker position.

He can’t read a playbook, he’s a human turnover machine, he’s as inaccurate as they come and he walks into sacks.

Other than that, he’s Ok.

1) Up to $10 million. And I’m betting it is HEAVILY incentive laden. Escalators based upon numbers of games played would be smart.

2) There is nothing else available to replace Vick to be excited about. The draft class and FA this year are very thin. Vick was going to be one of the marquee names available. Use the draft to build an offensive line that can block and wait out a year.

Is the return of Mike Vick anything other than the ultimate litmus test for evaluating Andy Reid’s competence?

If Chip comes in and takes Vick back to even 80% of what he was in 2010, then we know that Reid was the issue.
___________________________________
How would Kelly’s getting Vick to 80% of what Reid did show that Kelly is more competent than Reid? The only way what Vick does proves that Reid wasn’t as competent is if Kelly gets him playing BETTER than what Reid did in 2010. I’m not an Eagles fan but for that short stretch in 2010 Reid got the best play out of Vick ever in Vick’s entire career. Frankly, I never thought he could play like that for even that long. Before Reid, he’d have a good passing game here or there, but return to his inaccurate self. Reid worked miracles with him from what I saw.

Let the turnovers begin.Hopefully for Eagles fans Vick will get hurt in training camp and be out for the rest of the season.

$10 million for a guy who can’t stay healthly who can’t throw who blams offensive line for his struggles sounds like a good quarterback right?? Wrong

It would take at least a 6 game turnaround from last seasons’ 4 victories to (maybe) make the playoffs. With a new coach and new system and the same ‘ole Vick I just can’t see it.

It’s going to be so awesome to rub all of this in everyones face. And yes I am keeping track of the dolts a.k.a negative nancys so when we are doing well I can constantly bring up the fact that the ppl here are wrong and stoooopid.

Bad move keeping Vick for no other reason that it pushes back the rebuilding project for a whole another year. This is clear proof that Chipper is scared to death of falling on his face in the first year.

Chip Kelly: “I want a quarterback that wont turn the ball over”
Eagles: “Vick is coming back”
Fans: “What the hell is going on?”

I foolishly expected better from Chip Kelly and the Eagles…I guess he really doesn’t expect Foles to be his starter. Is there anything worse than having last year’s starter looking over his shoulder all the time? Nothing kills a QBs confidence more…$5 million of his salary better be winning the Super Bowl.

Maybe 10 mil if Vick is “up to” reading a defense once in a while. Which, sorry, ain’t gonna happen.

I’m fine with the Eagles giving him a one year deal. It’s a one year band-aid untill Kelly can get Teddy Bridgewater or Johnny Manziel.

By: myeaglescantwin

myeaglescantwin — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:55:44 +0000

this now clears up Foles for a trade to KC.

does he even get us a 3rd round pick back?
i’d pull that trigger asap.

It says “UP TO” 10 million. He probably has to be MVP of the Super Bowl to get that amount. And trust me…if he is MVP of the Super Bowl no body in Philly will be complaining. Go Eagles!!!

I highly doubt that Vick comes and is a top 10 or 15 QB.

With the coaches he has put together, and this resigning,, the outlook seems bleek for Chipper.

“Dream Team”??

I’ll tell you what this is about. 3 things:

A. Not the biggest part, but, it’s part of the (quite frankly overdone) smokescreen and cat and mouse obsessiveness by teams for the draft. They’ll take a qb early and this helps throw people off.

B. All Vick is doing is playing the role of Doug Pederson. The drafted guy will take over somewhere between week 6-10, just like McNabb. Same team, same plan, people. Think.

C. If Vick stinks it up, they play to the crowd and bring in the new supposed wonderboy, just like McNabb. And if Vick has yet another rebirth, well, Chip Kelly is now the greatest coach ever and the Eagles front office pound their chest.

Mike Vick in my opinion is the most overrated quarterback in the last 10 years.look at the man’s record year after year look at his production look at his completion percentage and his turnoversand look at how many times he gets sacked per game.. Now factor in that he’s 33 years old has lost several steps to injuries and age and now you’re asking him to learn a whole new read option system. there is no way that this will work.

I really wish they would stop using the term Dream Team. Philly will clearly be in rebuilding mode, especially if we are picking up a new offense and reshaping the defense. Talent or not Philly has lots of work to do and we know it, especially with the way the division is right now. The Skins are clearly on the up-swing, the Giants are always going to be steady and strong, and the Cowboys…… well they are still the Cowboys and thankfully still their own worst enemy.

Wow, bobon, slinging insults before anyone even posts anything…nice.

“Any good reason? Besides generic dumb answers like “he’s injury prone” and “he won’t make it through a season healthy”. ”

That, in itself, is a pretty dang good reason (not to mention his penchant for handing the ball to opponents). That’s a decent chunk of $$$ for a QB who can barely muster 10-12 games per season and blows 1-3 posessions a game with those TOs.
