Just from a football point of view, Vick gives them a better chance to win. He also makes them more explosive and likely sells more tickets. Its a win win win for everyone, even those road games. Hate him or love him, I think he will still sell tickets, even if its for people who want to come and see him fail.

Good to see common sense prevailing with the Birds' coaching staff on this one


"One dimensional" ... are you joking, slot???

Mike has like the fourth or fifth highest passer rating in the league so far … not to mention what he can do with his legs.

This guy is hungry, confident, and clearly ready to lead this offense.

If Detroit looked like the '85 Bears, I don't think the Eagles would have put 35 on the board the other day.

I'll always contend that a team that wants to win won't have Michael Vick as their starting quarterback. It didn't work in Atlanta, and it won't work in Philly. This is a 6-10 team waiting to happen.

P.S. - the Lions have the worst secondary - nay, the worst defense overall - in the entire league. If not for LeSean McCoy having the best game of his career, you're talking about an Eagles loss to the woeful Lions and an 0-2 start. Anybody who actually watched the game the other day (I'm presuming only AntiTrust and myself did based on comments here) would realize that Vick was hardly the reason the Eagles won the game. This isn't baseball; stats can definitely lie.

Want to wager on the 6-10 thing?

It didn't "work" in atlanta? Didnt they make it to the NFC Title game? Is that not working?

He got sacked 6 times and there was pressure all day. Hence the 85 bears comment. And if you indeed watched the game you would see that they sent blitz after blitz against them all day long. You did watch the game didnt you?

Now I know you didn't watch the game. Blitz after blitz? Really? If they were blitzing so much, wouldn't more than one of the five Detroit sacks or three of the 11 QB hits have been from a non-defensive lineman? Detroit is hardly a blitzing team.

Contend away!

I guess maybe that 6-10 thing might be out the window there sparky?
