[4TH AND STUPID]

One of my favorite players in the NFL (ironically one of the most hated by the public/media followers) has signed with PHILLY



Big move by philly!! no worries if vick goes down, vy can play and vy can win. with toys like the eagles have, and a coach who actually wants him to succeed, vy can help put the eagles in a position to win a ball game, when given the call of duty


congrats vince!

As expected, the Philadelphia Eagles will be filling their void at backup quarterback with a guy who has won 30 of 47 career starts.

Vince Young, cut by the Titans and unwanted by any team that has an opening at starter, has agreed to terms with the Eagles, per Albert Breer of NFL Network. Young will sign a one-year deal.

It’s a great move for both sides. The Eagles need a backup for Mike Vick, and Young will benefit from the coaching that Andy Reid can provide.

The best news? That Favre-to-Philly talk can end less than a week after it started.

so much for the favre rumor then huh lol. anyways my saints picked up darren sproles so looks like a lot of teams are letting go high quality players and then picking up other high quality players to fill the same roles

This will be fun if Vick goes down.

If Favre comes back he will want to start anyway.

[neverstoppers23]

LOL, in no way am I confident in Vince Young if Vick goes down. Are you serious about this? When has he proven he can carry a team? A team obviously can carry him, and he has won games.
But can he carry a team, well no. He is a good back up, though. He can just fill in for a game or two and not kill you, I guess thats what you expect from your back up.

[Erock87]

Great career move for VY, gives him a chance to show all his doubters he can still play.

And some Vick Mentorship can't hurt....can it?!

[shaunovery]

Not a bad back-up if he comes ready to play

[daimoshokage]

nice pick-up!

[jrmartin.mig]

He should def see some playing time with Vicks injury history. The Should have him taking a whole lot of snaps not only in preseason but the regular as well.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

VY=mental midget

[Johnnythunder]

So now the combined IQ of their Qb's dropped to around 64.

[PingPong]

awesome! even thought i hate the eagles lol can't wait to see VY play under a coach that's not trying to sabotage him every chance he gets

[stealthyburrito]

this could be a great career move for VY, to back up vick, even if he does not get a legit shot at being the starter.

[jjgold]

I was never a Vince Young fan
Too much of a choke, cannot pass well either

[shock11]

surprised not even one team wanted him as a starter

[jjgold]

yes it seems no one wanted him

I guess teams know he is a headcase

[ngates815]

Yea, very surprising that he didn't go somewhere that he'd be a starter.

The guy isn't too bad...If the fukk could ever get his head on straight and stay focused, he'd be a good starter.

But good pick up by the Eagles. It's about 83% chance that Vick goes down at one point during the year.

[icancount2one]

I don't think Andy Reid would ever call the media when his QB goes off the radar for a couple hours to get his head clear. Despite the high expectations of unforgiving Philly fans, this is a great place for VY to regroup.

[jollyoscars]

great move for both philly and VY. andy reid & vick will do wonders for his maturity problems

[TrajaD]

Man VY is like expired yogourt, he aint good no mo

[jmilacek]

Is this the first black starter and black backup in league history? Not a racist question, just seriously wondering.

Also VY sucks.

[odtw524]

I love that the Eagles got Vince

[brandonlang]

wow nice pick up

[TheCommish]

Interesting. If he can get his head together, he could be a decent QB. Although, if Vick stays healthy, VY will be watching from the bench.

So now the combined IQ of their Qb's dropped to around 64.

And yet they still have made more than 64 mil each in their careers. I guess its because they play football and not teach math.
Favre did pretty good i'd say despite his iq.

[thezbar]

San Fran seems the better fit. Just saying!

[billy18067]

this should be an interesting fit for young in philly i hope it all works out
