2013 Training Camp/Preseason Thread

[JackStraw]

I'm excited enough not to have cancelled my DTV season ticket after 17 years. So there's your litmus test.

(Ps was that photo of training camp or a still from a new schoolhouse rock video?)

listen to this ramble....its hilarious the whole way thru but especially so at the end when he calls it a mullett instead of a mulligan

[QB Eagles]

The whole argument that Vick should just be given the job is retarded. If Vick doesn't get the job it won't be due to Chip just benching him or getting rid of him on a whim. It'll be because one of the other guys looked better than or equivalent to Vick at a much lower cost. It would be "crazy" to start an old expensive known quantity on a team that isn't making a playoff push over a young guy who is cheaper and better. There's even an argument for starting someone else even if Vick blows the other guys out of the water in camp, but I think Chip will start the best QB whether it's Vick or not.

Every sane fan knows that Vick doesn't have much of a future with the team beyond this year, and every sane fan also knows they aren't winning the Super Bowl this year, so why the farg is it so important to establish Vick as the starting QB as soon as possible? So he can develop more chemistry with the rest of the team that is going 6-10 this season and he won't be on in 2014?

was that his argument?....i listened to that thing twice and didnt hear a word he was saying about anything....it was pretty much hilariously incoherent to me

[QB Eagles]

Nah, he was incoherent. But I've heard the argument from others. Sal Pal was going on about it too, saying shtein like "this is the NFL, not college", cause the NFL names starters. Sal Pal thinks he knows how to coach in the NFL better than Chip does I guess.

[ice grillin you]

on the surface i dont necessarily disagree with sal pals theory....i think there can certainly be positives to having a depth chart and it may even be the better way to do it....where he went off kilter was in making it a rant...saying that no one else in the history of the league has done this and implying that your team was somehow going to implode if you didnt do it that way

sal pal is a twat...irvin is there seriously a point in even bothering with him? he needs to go back to the mink coat stripper coke days.

[hbionic]

sal pal is a twat.

Truth. And I only see him on ESPN.

[ice grillin you]

irvin is there seriously a point in even bothering with him? he needs to go back to the mink coat stripper coke days.

im still over dying over him calling it a mullett instead of a mulligan

he said "what do we call it....a mullet?"....and look at his face when he says it...so funny

and thats besides the fact that there was no context to even use mulligan there....furthermore his reasoning is so off cause hes trying to say that vick was there when chip arrived and its not his guy....but either is foles

[reese125]

Why would any new coach implementing 2 brand new systems to a team that won 4 games last year automatically annoint a player a starting job?

What Chip is doing I feel is correct and Sal Pal is off here.

[QB Eagles]

Some people are under the impression that Michael Vick is an elite superstar QB because there was a Michael Vick Experience commercial 10 years ago. The facts that it is now 2013 and that Vick was never an elite QB don't seem to have any bearing on their opinion of him. Michael Irvin seems like he might be one of those people.

[MDS]

irvin is boys with vick...hes just backing his people

hes not a serious analyst, or person, and what he says curries no weight or consequence. it is unintentionally funny though.
