vick is the man in philly now
 

Jay_Glazer Change of heart, andy reid has named mike vick team's starter over kolb

LMAO:hmmm:

It appears pro football talk is indicating the same thing

Vick is clearly a better QB than Kolb, but I figured they'd give the young guy a few more weeks to show why he isn't an NFL starter before they went this direction.

Fux. Figures when I drafted kolb in FF and was too low in the waivers to get Vick last week.

My fantasy team rejoices.

How many here would take Kolb over Cassel? :hmmm:

That was a no brainer.

We should've scooped him up with all of that extra money

Adam_Schefter From the way the Eagles are handling this Mike Vick announcement, it sounds as if he has won the job for good. Amazing.

I wonder if McNabb's rethinking that whole "Let's bring Mike in!" thing?

Lesean McCoy owners rejoice. Vick makes that running game work.

Vick has looked really good. Now that defenses can scheme against him I wonder how good he'll be.

Everybody except the homers

He won't be playing the Lions every week either. Still, he's better than Kolb, especially behind that shaky oline.

Welcome to the playoffs, Philly.

Apparently Andy Reid took Kolb outside and killed him with a shovel.

Who let the dogs out?! Who!? Who, Who!?

and im in the same boat

Vick is my starter as of last week

What is philly shooting for Locker this year? Hell playing detroit would make cassel look like the a young Joe Montana. But the simple reality is, while vick is an outstanding athlete, he always has, and always will be a terrible QB. Top 10 pick for Philly this year.

good things happen to good people!

Hahaha holy shit

Reid making a smart decision, a rarity for him.

I think it's the right way to go for now, but I can't wait for how quickly they'll turn on Vick once he has a shit game.

Michael Vick-QB- Eagles Sep. 21 - 5:44 pm et

The Eagles announced that Michael Vick will take over as the starting quarterback starting this week at Jacksonville.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen and CSN Philly's Derrick Gunn both have sources confirming that the decision is permanent and has nothing to do with Kevin Kolb's health. Perhaps Andy Reid came to the conclusion after watching game film showing that Vick was undeniably a superior option going forward. The Jaguars have perhaps the league's most burnable secondary, leaving Vick as an elite QB1 option for a second straight week. If you snagged him off the waiver wire last week, well done. You have a weekly starter.

**** I just got rid of him in my FFL because of Reid. :cuss:

Never did like that guy

You're doing it wrong. /Marty Schottenheimer

So they got rid of McNabb to start Vick?

I imagine they are just cutting their losses at this point, besides, they got 2 draft picks for McNabb.

:thumb:

LMAO

The Eagles just want black quarterbacks to succeed.

It wasn't the plan, but sometimes you gotta say screw the plan.

Heh, I guess the nfl network had a typo on their crawl earlier. They were announcing the opposite.

The first thing that crossed my mind when they signed Vick was that they were possibly hedging their bets in case Kolb was a pile of shit.

No.


Against the Browns defense that was ranked 31 last year, Cassel threw no TDs, and 2 interceptions.

Matt Cassel is pathetic. He could not lace Mike Vick's shoes on his BEST day.

I had a feeling when they named Kolb the starter, that it was the least controversial way to make Vick the starter -- indirectly. Avoid all the controversy. Start Kolb, who had a couple nice games, wait for him to fail-yank him stick Vick in against a shitty team and tada... new starter. And FWIW, I would take Vick over Cassel.

I've always believed you start whoever gives you the best chance to win. But because he's a piece of shit who deserves to get eaten alive by dogs and shouldn't even be in the league, or in society, I think Kolb should start. I'm not a fan of piece of shit people.

After the way he played the first 2 games, he deserves to keep playing.

Also think they can trade us Kolb? That might make us a playoff contender.

LMAO

Well said.

Eh, he said he's sorry. Time to let it go. It's not like he's Leonard Little.

I don't care. For someone to be sick enough to do something like that, he needs 24/7 counseling. Is he really sorry, or is he sorry he got caught? We'll never know I guess.

I wouldn't mind trading for Kolb...

I don't hold it against Vick. He served his time. I do get sick of some of his fans though. When he wins it's, "Hey, all he does is win games" but when he loses it turns into, "They don't know how to use him".

Yea he paid his debt to society, I figure it's time to move on from all that.

We are loaded with RBs...
