Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagle

[Seabiscuit36]

people just dont get he's here as a backup/wildcat role

[ice grillin you]

and they never will

[QB Eagles]

The amount of raw athletic talent on this offense is incredible, from the line out to the receivers. A lot of guys with issues too, though -- whether it's injuries or inability to mold their raw talent into skill. If even half these guys play up to their potential (which could very well not happen) the Eagles will have the best offense in the NFL.

If that half isn't the offensive line, the offense isn't doing shtein.

somebody tell Ocho that Vick and McNabb havent ran in 2 years

[Magical_Retard]

Aww poor Chad he just wanted to join the team. Cant believe after all these yrs he is still stuck in Cinci.

I was watching Hard Knocks yesterday, that dude is funny as hell. 

As far as the thing about him being a QB, yeah whatever.  He is coming here as a situational player and probably going to try to relearn the QB position.  One he never mastered to begin with.  From a pure football standpoint I am excited to see what they do with the multitude of weapons they now have. 

My biggest concerns remain the D and the OL.

child, please

Cincinnati had offered Vick a firm 2-year contract.

Who said it was bad? His miserable attitude is refreshing.

Guess he must really want a ring!

For him being here for a wildcat role, we already have Maclin, Jackson and Westbrook who can easily fill that role. Maybe it's just me, but I don't really see what he adds to the team that we didn't already have.

I'm not sure the wildcat will see as as much success this year as in '08 with teams having a whole off-season to review tapes and drill on it. You have to really emphasize it in your offense (Miami) to do it right consistently, otherwise it's about as successful as any other gimmick play. (Oakland, just about everyone else)

The dude was convicted of a crime, went to prison, lost all of his sources of income and is now flat broke. On top of that he has absolutely no marketable skills outside of football and organized dog fighting. The criminal justice system is in place for a reason. That reason was satisfied here. The dude should now be allowed to work at the only legitimate career he's capable of having.

I don't like the signing because he isn't the kind of person I want to root for (same reason I didn't like the TO signing) and I don't think he helps this team as a QB (same reason I didn't like the McMahon signing). But the dog fighting shtein is over. He's done his time. What do they want? For his life to be ended? For him to be unable to make a living? People are idiots.

That's the one aspect people are ignoring. It is like they won't be satisfied unless the guy is publicly executed.

and they have the audacity to act like they are pure individuals? They want to prevent a man who's paid severely for his actions from ever gaining any semblance of a life back.

I'm not a crazy animal lover like PETA people are, but I do really like animals. That said, the Eagles can sign whoever the hell they want that is allowed by the NFL and by the law. I bet you at least one person in PETA has married or been involved with some type of ex-con or someone with a criminal record. It would be no different if I told them they are a disgrace for getting involved with that type of person.

[ice grillin you]

can everyone promise to never again qualify one of their vick posts with the fact that they like animals

youre allowed to think vick should play without being an animal abuser


thank you
