It is such a shame he turned out to have no moral compass until he was caught. What a waste.
Anyway, that’s one more NFC team to not have to worry about.

Vick only had that one year. Most pro QB’s play a lot better with 4 or 5 seconds to throw the ball. McNabb’s line was capable of giving him that consistently.

Hard to believe people in this town ragged on McNabb for all of those years, like it was all his fault..at least we knew what the playoffs smelt like when he was at the helm…it felt good owning the NFC East for a decade, even though we lost the SB and those 4 NFC chips…it felt great to at least have the opportunity….with Vick as our starter, we will never know what these experiences look, sound, or smell like……bottom’s up toast to another dreadful season.

I mean seriously, to place a $1m bonus for wining the superbowl?? Heck, he should get $1 bonus for making the playoffs with that team.

These are the same guys that vehemently booed when Reid was hired and McNabb was drafted. Football geniuses.

Think about that. Foles rookie season would rank barely below Vick’s best season ever as a passer.

Vick’s rookie season, he completed 44% of his passes.

People tend to confuse Vick the QB with Vick the RB. Vick has never been a good QB, has never been that accurate but boy he used to be able to run. Vick who is getting near his mid 30′s can’t run and can’t take a hit. One thing he has never done, is make a good decision, and that’s going to cost him and the team now that his legs can’t bail him out.

To compare, Jamarcus Russell had better passing percentages his 3 years in the league than Vick and Russell can’t find a job.

The Eagles must really not like the FA market, Foles and the draft. Did they not look at his game film from the last season? I think Fred Sanford would have done a better job as their QB!

Kelly’s cardinal sin for his QB is fumbles & interceptions! If Kelly is as much of an offensive “genius” as he’s touted to be, why does he not see this! Don’t get this signing a little bit.

That said, this deal makes him easier to trade if they decide to go that route. If he is the starter, I think he has a chance at being closer to his 2010 performance in Kelly’s system. No one seems to talk about how Reid went too far in his coaching of Vick as a pocket passer, which was similar to what he did with McNabb. Vick is not a pocket passer and never will be, especially with O-line problems (though that will undoubtedly improve this year). It will be interesting to see what Kelly can get out of him in his system. Probably the best option we have at this point.

Who knows – maybe the Eagles will be stupid enough to keep Vick around long enough that Chip Kelly can join the likes of Mora, Dan Reeves and Andy Reid.

I only hope that they did this so that they can trade Vick. It makes no sense to keep Vick on this team. Also, I am not sure that Vick can beat out Foles. I am not sure if this make sense but I know more as to what Vick isn’t then I know what Foles is.
Vick is:
1) 33 years old and has not played an entire season since I do not know when
2) Last not won a play game in atleast 8 yrs.
3) He holds on the ball to long and instead of making quick decisions he makes poor ones
4) He is a turnover machine
5) He can’t read defenses

Its funny that pro Vick people focus on the O-Line. It is true that the O’line was bad due to injuires and should in approve this year with a health Peters, Herremans, and Kelce. Can someone tell me why the amount of sacks went down when Foles (20) started to when Vick (28) started. Tells me that Foles gets the ball out quicker then Vick.
I have no idea if Foles is a starting QB in the league. Really no one does. I hear people say he does not have the arm for the long ball. I see that he does if he can get his foot work right. If you play Foles then you either no we can play or you get a top 5 pick.

Having said that, if Vick is such garbage, and Foles can’t beat him out, do you really want Foles?

Having more options is always better than fewer options. Since they already paid Vick’s $3 mill bonus, Kelly bought the entire offseason to make an informed decision on for $500K. With a $23 million cap carryover, the birds will not miss the cap space.

For the record, I am of the opinion that next year’s starter at QB is not yet on the roster.

The rest assumes he makes the roster.
That’s about what it was gonna cost them to keep him during the offseason anyway.

But seriously no matter what anyone thinks of Nick he is a complete fish out of water for the system they are going to use. I mean even a casual football fan can see he doesn’t even come close to fitting in the system they are going to use. It’s no knock on him as a QB, but their RB probably has a better shot at starting at QB than he does.
