Mike Vick should be starting

Shonner · 09-12-10, 05:08 PM

Vick in, Kolb out with concussion.

Phila wins this game.

podunk · 09-12-10, 05:16 PM

it's all part of the plan.

Shonner · 09-12-10, 05:18 PM

lol philly fumble...gb td...vick is going to have to work magic lol

seaborneq · 09-12-10, 05:27 PM

Yes, time to sit Kolb already. Vick starts next week.

BookieOweMe · 09-12-10, 05:28 PM

Vick is scary.

Why were they starting Kolb anyway?

jjgold · 09-12-10, 05:28 PM

He looks ok right now

Reid is a hard head. He needs to admit he was wrong for starting Kolb and just play Vick going forward. Vick is back in shape and is a pro bowl qb.

Fleeben · 09-12-10, 05:29 PM

Because he got more reps with the first team and Vick has not been known for his accurate pocket passing in an offense predicated almost entirely on short quick throws?

pavyracer · 09-12-10, 05:30 PM

That's because Packers didn't prepare for him. Next week if he is announced as a starter the other team will prepare for him.

ngates815 · 09-12-10, 05:31 PM

Kolb is solid passer. Can't really complain with him starting. Vick is obviously the top mobile QB. But his throwing is still kinda suspect, although he's been throwing nothing but strikes this game.

SimonSayz · 09-12-10, 05:31 PM

Kolb should be out of a job.....Vick has looked to mature a bit plus he is a dual threat.

Did you see Kolb throw anything strike-like? I didn't.

teams didnt prepare for him when he was in atlanta? please... he used to bet the packers when he was in ATL and i hope he brings them back today

Keep in mind that GB was gameplanning against Kolb --- if Vick is named the starter, it will be harder for him. With that said, if he regains old form, he is very formidable, and probably the best QB on the team.

I see what you are saying. But i can't understand how people can think this unproven qb is better than a 3 time pro bowl qb. it's almost like reid doesnt want to let vick shine. this makes no sense.

jsmithj88 · 09-12-10, 05:36 PM

i agree, kolb does not look ready for this

He WAS a 3 time pro bowl QB. Is he now? We will see, perhaps...... That was almost a 3 year vacation.....

Don't recall saying Kolb threw any strikes.

BookieOweMe · 09-12-10, 05:45 PM

Nice 3 and out.

Mikail · 09-12-10, 05:55 PM

Yeah Vick is looking good. Kolb starting position could be in jeopardy.

He's back in shape, looking like him old self.

It doesn't take a sharp eye to see he's a much better QB than Kolb.

But Andy Reid will try to save face and start Kolb next week if he's cleared.

therber2 · 09-12-10, 06:04 PM

Vick is an amazing player. If only he had more time here. Sometimes you've got to get your head knocked in to make the right moves.

Fleeben · 09-12-10, 06:06 PM

The other thing to consider is that the defense spent most of their time gameplanning to face Kolb and not a much-more-mobile Michael Vick.

Doc JS · 09-12-10, 06:10 PM

If Vick leads the Eagles back to a victory today...Andy Reid will have a full-blow QB controversy on his hands. And the sports talk radio stations in Philly will have a field day...

BookieOweMe · 09-12-10, 06:11 PM

vick is doing good.

C-Gold · 09-12-10, 06:39 PM

Vick should be starting for a team in PRISON. He did make a couple cool sports center plays, but he also missed open receivers... He had 4 guys open and nearly thew a pick on the 2nd to last possession. He'll drive Andy Reid crazy if he starts.

Vick could make cool plays, but miss all the routine plays over and over and over again and he'll NEVER beat a great defense and win a super bowl.

I was hoping Vick did well because it will destory the Eagles and could lead to Any Reid's demise. It will certainly undermine Kolb and it will undermine Reid too.

It was like about 7 years ago when Jeff George led the Redskins downfield on a 97 yard drive in garbage time against the Giants, and Dan Snyder and the skins fans never forgot that, and it set the team back for years.

Vick is a dirty rotten fucker and not the answer.

TCC · 09-12-10, 06:41 PM

vick will be good once again

Capybara · 09-12-10, 06:43 PM

Absolutely not. He's always been a great athlete and TERRIBLE quarterback. You quarterback with your head, not your legs. Unless something changes, teams he leads are never gonna win anything.

Kolb will develop into a very solid NFL QB.

C-Gold · 09-12-10, 06:46 PM

That 3rd and goal that was the Eagles 2nd to last possesion says it all....

Riley Cooper was matched up with some 6'5 WR and had position... Aikman pointed that out presnap.
Later on D. Jackson was doing jumping jacks in the back of the endzone...
The FB was open in the flats
There was another WR open in the back of the endzone
AND Vick could have possibly run it in

but what does Convict do? He runs around, throws it across his body into traffic. For every cool 12 yard run he has, he makes these huge mistakes that will cost his team later on, even though they didn't today.

jjgold · 09-12-10, 06:48 PM

Vick played ok but I bet he is banged up I think from taking some big hits

phLLyphan11 · 09-12-10, 06:49 PM

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

crazyfied · 09-12-10, 06:54 PM

he will be the starter now. He looked like his old self agian running around getting 10yrds plus.

OverUnder · 09-12-10, 06:57 PM

Just picked him up on my Fantasy team
