Vick hasn't even been that bad the past two years. It's just the turonvers that has made everyone llok at him in an unfavorable light. Cause no one should have expected to keep playing like he did in 2010.

Breaking Down Michael Vick's Turnovers - Bleeding Green Nation

Final verdict:

I went into the piece thinking that Vick was not as responsible for all of the turnovers as many thought he was. The Eagles seemed to have bad luck with tipped balls and bad blocking. I finished it, however, finding it hard to not blame Vick for almost any of them.

After watching all of Vick's turnovers during his time with the Eagles, a few things were clear. First, the notion that the offensive line had a lot to do with Vick's struggles really isn't true. Vick had plenty of time on alot of his interceptions, but just made a bad throw. At times Vick did get rushed out of the pocket, but he showed poor judgement when he did by not just letting the play go. A quarterback who isn't very accurate- and is not willing to let a play day- is going to drive Kelly crazy. Kelly said it himself that his quarterback needs to be able to live to see the next play, not throw the game away. That was not Vick these past two seasons.

That being said, the fumbling problem was not as bad as most make it out to be. Vick showed he improved in holding onto the ball as he was going down, a good sign that he is listening to the coaches. It's hard to kill Vick for fighting for extra yards on third down when he team needed a fresh set of downs. The same can be said for some of his interceptions. Vick really does take every play on it's own and does everything he can on each play. It's a great attribute to have in a player if you are a coach- a fighter attitude that his teammates love. Kelly might see that on the tape and rather live with the 4-5 fumbles per year then have a quarterback back there who isn't capable of rushing when the play breaks down.

Watching Vick, it's clear to me he still has talent. It's just a matter of if Kelly thinks he can either live with or take away the few boneheaded plays Vick makes a year.

:ohword:

It's a one year deal that creates a open QB competition, one that I hope Foles wins. I'm not really losing any sleep over it. If anything, the Eagles made a great move here.

Why do people think I hate Vick? I just don't think he's good any more. I got no malice towards the man. His maturation since coming back from jail is one of the low-key best sports stories of the last 5 years.

I don't buy that open competition line from Kelly. I think they re-signed Vick with the intention of him being the starter next season.
I also didn't see anything from Foles that had me clamoring for him to be the starter for this team. He's a serviceable back-up but I don't get why so many people in this town are acting all butt hurt that he wasn't handed the starting job.

You didn't buy it because you want Vick to be the starter. Vick has done nothing over the past two seasons to be handed the starting spot.

A true, open QB competition is the only reason bringing back Vick for a year makes sense.

MV will be on mike & mike at 9am to discuss the restructured contract.

black excellence

RG3 ??


Vick lost excellence when he started throwing the ball to the other team

If he finishes the season as the starter I'll be very surprised

 

[Goat poster]

looks like vick wants to give the read option a look.


he did say during the season he wish he ran it

If Vick coulda played in the read option in his PRIME

I feel like he opened the door for these new nikkas, but never got the benefit of playing in the best offense to use his talents...

I bet he looks at Cam, Rg3, and Kap and just imagines being able to run that shyt in his ATL days...

Vick got robbed IMO...

I have no problem with them moving on from Vick but Foles damn sure isn't the answer and anyone who thinks he is has to be delusional or on some "I want a white QB" mission. And I won't believe this open competition stuff until I get reports from training camp.
