He's an excellent practice player; he's notorious for being one of the hardest-working QBs in the NFL. Think of him as the David Eckstein of NFL QBs. He's not very big, he's got a very limited physical skill set, but he busts his ass day in and day out, and he knows how to lead football teams. The problem is, so many coaches won't want a QB who plays such a scramble-based style, and on the Raiders, where the QB has to throw it deep a lot, he's not gonna be effective.
The Eagles made a great pick-up yesterday for their offense; he's a better QB overall than Vick, far less polarizing in the public eye, and the vets in that room know what he's about, and what he can do.
