I don't get it. Kolb is the back-up so is Vick gonna be converted to a receiver or something?

ESPN.com's Chris Mortensen reports the Eagles have signed Michael Vick. FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer reports it's a one-year, $1.6 million deal with a $5.2 million team option for 2010.
Despite their training camp injuries, the Eagles are gunning for a Super Bowl title this season. ESPN's Jon Gruden suggested that they see Vick as a "missing piece," with offensive guru Andy Reid finding creative ways to utilize his talent. The Dungy/Vick team placed a high priority on stability, and the Joe Banner/Tom Heckert/Reid trio provide plenty of ballast. Vick is no threat to Donovan McNabb's starting job, but it may be an indication that Kevin Kolb's knee injury is more serious than originally believed. The $5.2 team option means it's basically a one-year deal, barring a serious injury to McNabb. Aug. 13 - 8:35 pm et

Kolb's hurt.

I don't get why SF or Buffalo didn't go hard at him. Even Tampa or Denver. I don't care if he spent 2 years out of football and was never that good of a QB to begin with, he's still better than anyone those guys have.

I think the Eagles win,

Don't get me wrong, I hate what the man got caught for with all my heart. I think Vick can get the hang of the Eagles offense without much of a problem though, since he would be the main threat after Westbrook.

From what i hear around here Tampa is in rebuilding mode and doesn't want the distractions for a young coach and team. Also the offense they are running wouldn't fit Vick IMO.

Imagine being a D Coordinator having to account for McNabb with Wesbrooke & Vick flanked on both sides add in super-fast Desaun Jackson to the mix holy shit that's speed everywhere in the spread offense.

Didnt see that coming at all!

BigCat8 · Post by **BigCat8** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 1:40 am

People are gettin' their

on all over Facebook.

As far as the signing... I'm with it. He fucked up somethin' serious with the dog fighting ring, no doubt. He can't ever truly undo his wrongs, but he paid his debts, and I don't mind having an athlete like Michael Vick on our roster.

Though this is all based on my belief that he's sincere in his remorse. If they believe otherwise, then I can understand why people would dislike the signing.

^^^ And don't forget Maclin.

MY LIL LONG BEACH HOMIE DESEAN IS GONNA PUT IN MUCH WORK THIS YEAR. HE'S GOT ALL-WORLD TALENT.

MACLIN WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE WHEN HE IS INSERTED INTO THE GAME.

I'M PROUD OF VICK AND GLAD HE'S GETTIN A CHANCE. I CAN SEE HIM DOIN THE WILDCAT SHIT AT TIMES TO GET HIM ON THE FIELD. DEFENSIVE COORDINATORS AIN'T GONNA BE GETTIN TOO MUCH SLEEP WITH THE THOUGHT OF HIM HURTIN U WITH HIS LEGS OR QUITE POSSIBLY WITH HIS ARM. HE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO WORK ON HIS PROGRESSIONS AND ACCURACY.

MAYBE ONE DAY HE CAN SUCCEED DONOVAN. WHO KNOWS, ONE MORE MAJOR INJURY AND IT COULD BE CURTAINS WITH MCNABB.

Was listening to 950am in philly some callers were saying that they will no longer be eagles fans because of this.

LOL. What a bunch of pussies.

They're running a football team. Not an animal shelter. Grow up.

That is, unless the Eagles are successful. Then they'll be right back on the bandwagon.

Ramen · Post by **Ramen** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 3:21 am

Honestly I think it's more along the lines of Dungy having his back and Reid being sympathetic than the Eagles needing him to make them better.

VICK WOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECT RAIDER. CAN'T IMAGINE ANY RAIDER FAN SAYIN SOME STUPID SHIT LIKE THE WOULDN'T SUPPORT HIM BECAUSE OF SOME DOGS.

So if McNabb is 100% healthy all year what will Vick do? We only get him for 10 games right?

Sankofa · Post by **Sankofa** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 8:13 am

Should be interesting.

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 8:39 am

I think the move is to fuck with DC's more than anything. If he does play it'll be in a wild cat situation or blow-out. The impact will be bigger off the field than on.

Awesome move by Philly !!!

its funny how people are actually drawing lines in the sand over this

Come week 13 and we're a lock for the playoffs those same people will be running out and coping Vick jerseys.
