Mike Vick should be starting

jsmithj88 · 09-12-10, 07:02 PM

people calling for vick to start need to sit down.
vick is not gonna lead this team to a superbowl
no1 is saying kolb is great but he needs more than 1 half of a game to decide his fate

THEGREAT30 · 09-12-10, 07:03 PM

Reid is a bad coach, Vick played well, hopefully he gets traded somewhere where he can start

I'll tell you what though...he is sure fun to watch. Still not an accurate passer, but at this point who cares.

He was a lot more accurate than Kolb was.

Kolb should be starting. Let's not overreact to one half of football. The whole team played like shit when kolb was in.

jjgold · 09-12-10, 07:10 PM

Vick will play next week, he gives them the best chance to win.

You can "prepare" for Michael Vick all you want.....he can and will still burn you with his running. Man is too versatile.

KyleG44 · 09-12-10, 07:15 PM

Can't scrape all your offseason plans after one quarter; there is a reason reid like kolb;

NYSportsGuy210 · 09-12-10, 07:17 PM

Mike Vick is the right play here to keep Philly as an interesting team and fill the seats....not to mention a very smooth transition for Eagles fans still pissed at McNabb's trade. Vick, though no Donovan, physically is a better runner, passer and athlete than the great McNabb currently is.

Shonner · 09-12-10, 07:21 PM

I disagree with the theories that "Kolb should be starting, it was only 1 half". That means nothing. It was the wrong decision from the start.

Bottom line is that Philly didn't let Vick go for a reason.

Reid is just a stubborn SOB. Bad coach at times.

ANYONE with any sense of the game can EASILY see that Vick is back to his Pro Bowl form and he should start.

NO questions asked.

Kav · 09-12-10, 07:39 PM

if vick started the whole game i think the eagles would of won, vick should be starting.

Footballtime · 09-12-10, 07:50 PM

I Couldnt agree more, So much Talent inside that man! GL FBT

vboyt · 09-12-10, 07:51 PM

man what a game!!

drunkenbeaver · 09-12-10, 07:55 PM

Good grief. Classic over-reaction statement.

Kobb is not and never will be McNabb, but chill out after one half of football.

Vick is still an eagle because of 1 reason-nobody wanted him.You don't think the eagles had him dangling out there as trade bait?Of course they did.Can he run,sure,but last time I looked that's what you have running backs for.Probably ask yourself why he isn't starting over a guy with limited experience.I'll answer that for you..........in his prime this scrub never threw for more than 3000 yds,over 20 td's,or completed more than 56% of his passes in a season.Yeah,he's a real stud.Players are BACKUPS for a reason.The biggest reason he has always failed as a qb is that he does not have the iq to play the position.He goes through one progression,then takes off.That's not what I call reading a defense.There comes a time when every qb has to drop back and THROW THE BALL.When this arises he consistently throughout his career has come up small.Scramblers like him never win shit.

Reid is always a bad coach.Calling timeouts with 5 minutes left in the game.How about that 4th and 1 qb sneak..........from the shotgun.Him and Jeff Fisher must have naked pictures of the owner or some shit to keep their jobs.Over 10 years and neither have won a damn thing.Reid is a dope.

No for this game the Packers prepared for Kolb not Vick. I'm saying next week if he is announced as a starter early the team facing the Eagles will practice containing him.

SECOND SHIFT · 09-12-10, 09:16 PM

It was fun watching Mike Vick playing quarterback today. What a game it was for injuries.

totally disagree thats just it u cant prepare for his quicknest if he holds on to the ball he wins simple as that

Vick didn't look great, but Kolb looked terrible.

To the people saying that the defense wasn't prepared for Vick, what about Vick being prepared to be a starter? If Vick had an entire offseason of starting reps and preparation as a starting QB, he'd have been much more sharp. Not to mention having the playbook and gameplan designed more around his abilities and talents.

Could not have said it better. What backup can come in and do what Vick did yesterday? What starter can put his team in the hole and have the stadium booing in the first half? Kolb. No question Vick is the answer.

must be philly
another QB debate

darrell74 · 09-13-10, 10:11 AM

Yeah, Kolb doesn't look NFL ready.
Vick did look better. Vick looks like a very good temporary solution.

In another thread, I said Vick was done and worthless.
I admit I was wrong, he looked serviceable yesterday.

Philly should have never let McNabb go is the truth of it all.

tblues2005 · 09-13-10, 11:03 AM

Vick looks like he could be the starter for a while. These head injuries could keep these quarterbacks out for a while.

Several teams have maps to beating Vick from his "Ron Mexico" days. Shame on my Pack for not being prepared for him - nor having gap discipline, another key.
Also, whilst Vick did rally Philly back - his decision making also kept the Eagles from truly making a run on the game. Sure Vick's talented, but he also made a lot of stupid moves that could've really tilted the game in Philly's favor.

Willy Beamon, Mike Vick, is not.

Baxter Man13 · 09-13-10, 01:30 PM

Coming from an Eagles fan, Yes he should be.

But this was ALL planned. They gave Kolb his chance because Philly GM;s are loyal like that. He failed, like they expected, now this is when Vick makes his NFL comeback...

DwightShrute · 09-13-10, 01:51 PM

Mike Vick should be starting ....

in the Canadian Football League

playa420 · 09-13-10, 04:16 PM

Vick is clearly the better QB and he can still play at a high level.The eagles really ****** up trading McNabb in their division though

Packers must not have had a game plan to beat Vick in the past, Vick was 2-0 lifetime against the Pack, including a playoff win in Green Bay.

If anything on Sunday, I thought the Packers defense was the perfect defensive scheme and personnel to shut down Vick. Also, they knew they'd be seeing at least a little bit of Vick. I want to repeat that Vick didn't have the offensive game plan designed around him, nor did he have the majority of first team reps throughout the offseason. Saying that the defense wasn't prepared for him is negated by the fact that Vick wasn't prepared to be taking the majority of starting snaps under center.
