    ESPN is the one trying to create something out of nothing. Can't blame a QB who gets hit almost every play and has no time. Look at McCoy as well having trouble, this is all on the offensive line.

    Blame always rests with the qb these days but you're right, underlying issue is that offensive line

    If they cannot produce against the Saints awful D then they may not do anything all year.

    I hope Vick gets benched, then Foles comes in and does even worse and develops David Carr syndrome playing behind that O-Line and the Eagles go 6-10, then 4-12 next year ... just enough to be terrible, but never high enough to draft a franchise quarterback and they are the whipping boy of the NFC East for the next decade. And the Phillies only win 70 games. That way I never have to hear about the city of Philadelphia again on ESPN.

    His name won't really matter as he'll be riding the bench all year.

    The Eagles should shut people up for a little bit on Monday Night.

    The problem isnt Vick, it's the defense.

    Nick Foles gives them NO EXTRA chance at winning. Unless Nick Folk can cover some wide receivers

    Eagles should dominate the weak Saints defense. Similar to how they dominated the Cowboys last season.

    The problem isn't the saints defense. It is the inability for the eagles to stop the saints offense. That over is sounding tempting to me

    It is never Vick's fault...being the best fade the last decade in the NFL was always bad luck and just a coincidence Vick was the QB...Be realistic, i could break it down so many ways, but the common denominator for Vick's suck, has always been and will always be Vick himself.

    His offensive line sucks, and he sucks. The Eagles don't have a chance no matter which QB starts.

    Does anyone think that defensives play harder against Vick because of his past? Just curious about everyone's thoughts ....

    No, i think defenses play just as hard as they would any competitive game. Do you mean his past regarding the dog stuff?

    Yes. It seems he gets hurt a lot and I just wanted thoughts as to whether his past may play a part in defenses wanting to take him out.

    No. It has to do with the offensive line being Swiss cheese.

    Being such a rushing QB, you'd think he could deal better with the poor offensive line than he does. I'd start building the team around another QB. Even prior to incarceration, Vick was no Super Bowl quarterback and he isn't one now - Swiss cheese or not.

    I never thought I'd actually start to feel bad for Mike Vick. Think he turns up big Monday Night a la that performance which helped him get another big contract.

    If Vick can't get it done against the Saints sorry ass Defense, then he deserves to get benched.

    But one performance shouldn't cut it. His numbers are sorry and his 25th ranking deserved: 9 TDs to 8 INTS and a overall QB rating of 78.6? I'd give Foles a shot - who I think looked pretty good in preseason. Give him some playing time and work toward next season. Vick never was all that great - I mean he's got the most rushing yards in a position that isn't a "rushing" position. All those yards mean to me is he isn't smart enough to read the field and release the ball in 4 seconds.

    This is the NFL not College. He can't simply outrun the defensive line coming at him. With Vick aside look at Lesean McCoy who is also having trouble dealing with the line. You say Vick isn't a Super Bowl quarterback which I simply don't agree with. But from watching Arizona the last few years I can tell you Foles isn't an NFL quarterback. Sucks that ESPN created this garbage when there really should be no controversy at all as to who should be starting.

    I have to respectfully disagree. As QB for the Falcons, Vick went 7-9 and 8-8 before going to jail; rookie Matt Ryan came in and took virtually the same team to the playoffs. Ryan = Super Bowl QB; Vick doesn't, never has, never will.

    Yeah the 2008 falcons are virtually the same as the 2006 ones. C'mon now. Not even remotely close.
