He was kind of invisible. I recall something in the preseason about him having a debilitating illness similar to mononucleosis. Nobody would confirm what it was but it was supposedly life threatening at one point. May have carried over a bit. The QB situation was a mess though. Vick couldn't even hold on to the football let alone find his deep threat (DJax) or possession receiver (Maclin) on the outside. I think Maclin missed some games with a nagging hip injury from early in the season. He's young, solid, knows the system just a victim of a bad team with a bad Turnover prone QB.

What I saw of several Eagles games this year is your O-line was severely beat up all season so Vick was already running for his life as soon as he got the snap on a pass play and just when Reid finally had him corrected the previous year in being comfortable in the pocket and only taking off when truly needed. Old habits die hard. I also think because your O-line was beat up all year this severely limited Shady as well on top of the play calling.
