2013 Training Camp/Preseason Thread

Win-win

[ice grillin you]

Surprising to no one Chip just officially announced Vick is the starter

I'd also like to go on record as saying Chip played this perfectly. He got the best out of Vick and gave Foles an equal chance. He waited the perfect amount of time too considering game 3 is really your opening day walk through.

plus foles got plenty of work with the 1's so he's ready to go in week 5 when vick gets hurt.

or week 2 after vick turns it over six times in the opener

Well, no matter who the qb I just hope the days of 50 plus passes per game are over. Shady has looked pretty good. It has been said that they'll run the ball out of the pistol a lot. Is that what you guys are seeing?

[Rome]

If the line stays healthy and Vick doesn't play like a reckless icehole this offense will be ridiculous.   Granted that's a couple of huge ifs but still... Shady might be a legit MVP candidate if all goes as planned.

They still won't beat good teams b/c of the porous defense but 6-8 wins seems reasonable.

[Zanshin]

Anything is possible, but I have a hard time thinking they'll break 6 wins this year.

[Zanshin]

And as far as Vick, goes...I get it, though the team is less interesting to me with him starting. I also don't like that they really aren't building anything with him, so a lot of me thinks it's pretty pointless, other than to give Chipper the best chance to make a decent first impression with his offense, and I get that, too. Still...I'm pretty over Vick.

im all for whatever gets them a top two overall pick

Vick, IMO, earned the starting job, so I'm ok with it for now.  Head to head w/Foles, he simply played better. Good news is that Foles played pretty damn well himself, so Kelly shouldn't have any reservations about making a change should Vick start coughing it up.

The open comp between the 2 along with Vick's play in the 1st two games hasn't left me with the same level of indifference I'd have had if Vick was simply handed the job.

[shorebird]

Vick outplayed Foles, but I still believe in the long run this team is better off with Foles. I think he's more accurate and has a chance to be a pretty good qb. But I also think that Kelley will want his own draft pick in there at some point.

Anything is possible, but I have a hard time thinking they'll break 6 wins this year.

I hope you're right, because if they aren't going to the playoffs, anything over 6 wins just means that they won't have as good a draft pick. I hope they make the playoffs but don't in anyway think they will. I hope they win 3-4 games so they draft in the top three.

if i had my choice vick wouldnt even be on the team....but the qb for the long run is not on the roster right now...so it really doesnt matter who starts....

i would never fault chipper for trying to win games...he has to do that.....but as a fan vick is the worst case scenario because he has the chance to make them just good enough to not suck but not quite enough for them to ever be good

...and that is probably exactly what is going to happen this year.

its amazing what can happen when you draft a football player from a small texas town instead of a small canadien town

[QB Eagles]

It's Chip. There might be some games with 50 plus passes and 50 plus runs.

The way the mental midget has been diving head first this preseason expect Foles to be the QB of the future in no time.
