Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
I think he will prove that he deserved an extra shot....plus he is a fairly good athlete

Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
Yep, let's sentence felons to prison and not allow them to rebuild their lives afterwards. Good thinking.

Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
Rebuilding their lives is one thing ... giving them millions to play a game is somewhat different. I think Vick would do a great job as a construction worker for $7.25 an hour.

Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
As an Eagles fan, I'm still in shock, and not really shore how I feel about this yet

Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
The Eagles couldn't handle TO so this should be fun to watch.

Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
Correction: TO couldn't handle playing for a team that didn't let him do whatever he wanted!!!

Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
I do wish you guys luck with this nut and with the protests outside the stadium. I would not have wanted him more because of the gambling than the thing with the dogs but I hope that it works out ok for the Eagles.

Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
I said it in the philly banter but I think it's a great move by the Eagles front office. Anytime you can lock up talent for that little money you do it.
Imagine trying to set up a defense when you have McNabb, Westbrooke, Vick, Jackson all lined up. DC's are going to be pulling their hair out. WILDCAT baby!

Re: Eagles Roll The Dice On Vick
The Wildcat was strong before, now it will be a VERY strong asset.
I'm watching an Andy Reid press conference right now, and he's seriously considering keeping 4 QB's on the roster. |

I think tactically waiting until training camp was over was important. No sense having a 24 hr distraction during camp. But still sign him early enough that you hope by week 1 it will be less of a distraction. The timing was right regardless if you think it's a good deal or not. I've felt from the beginning he had should have the opportunity to play football in the NFL again. He served his sentence (IMO, maybe too long of one). I never thought he'd become an Eagle. I was truly shocked when I heard it. Fingers crossed. |
