OxonHillSkinsFan89 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 As I watched the press conference of Michael Vick with the Eagles (still can't get used to the idea) I started listening to Philly sports radio and fan reactions. (Needless to say most have already claimed Miami). I was actually surprised at how many people called in to say they hated the idea of him being on the team. Not necessarily because of Vick but moreso because of their love of McNabb. Anyway, there is some speculation that he may be fully reinstated at the earliest by Week 2. Anyway, my question is are you concerned about the Skins facing an Eagles team w/Mike Vick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 supposedly hes not on the roster as a QB. so mcnabb is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 No not really, I think it was a dumb move for the eagles and I still don't understand it. All this is going to do is piss off McNabb and the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibbsFactor Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I really don't care. But having both him and McNabb in Shotgun over each guard may be a pretty effective formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I live here and the fans are PISSED! I'd say for every one that thinks it's okay, there are 9 who feel betrayed big time. Me? I didn't want him back in the NFL, but at least I get to watch our Defense PWN his ass twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I can only hope that McNabb struggles midway through the season and is benched for Vick, and then McNabb is shown the door after this season. Vick is a joke as a QB, all our defense would have to do is keep him in the pocket and Vick will struggle. I would love to see Reid and the Eagles screw up and decide to get rid of McNabb in favor of Vick, it will be the demise of Reid's time as the head coach, and the Eagles will struggle.

SWFLSkins Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It gives their offense just alittle more bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you bothered to listen to the press conference, Vick stated that McNabb was instrumental in bringing him in. And that Vick will be the backup QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising270 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Vick, McNabb, and Westbrook on the field is a scary concept but I'm not scared nor do I think it's going to change the Eagles this year. What I am scared of is the future because I think we are going to see a different Vick who is taking his career alot more serious and for the first time ever I think he's going to put 100% into becoming the QB everyone originally expected him to be.

f_trizzy Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Westbrook still remains their biggest offensive weapon. So if they want to take the ball out of his hands to run plays for this joker, then by all means, be my guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzapf Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think its a terrible move for them for a couple reasons. Donovan McNabb doesn't handle controversy well and signing Vick will make it inevitable, especially in Philly. Then the obvious reason- He has spent the last 2 YEARS in jail. I would be shocked if he is the same player. On the off chance he is there will still be trouble w/ McNabb so it seems like a lose lose to me. Was McNabb happy when T.O. was brought in? I think he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana_4_prez Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Don't care. I'm more concerned about weapons like Westbrook, Jackson, Maclin, and of course their starting QB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'm not sure how the Eagles plan on using him. They have McNabb so its not like Vick will see alot of time at QB. I guess they'll use him out of the Wildcat, but I dunno. I don't really see him getting alot of playing time this year just because he would have alot of learning to do and to get back into shape. To be honest, I'm really surprised we didn't end up with him. As much as we were trying to get a QB in the offseason, Vick wouldn't have cost us any draft picks and if after a season it didn't seem like it would work, we could let him go. I would've had mixed feeling about him here, but it wouldn't have hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Maybe Fat Andy believes he can 'coach him up' into a McNabb-lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSkins Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 With DeSean Jackson, Westbrook and Vick, that is going to be a take it to the house on any play team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'm concerned primarily because this team has yet to find a proven QB, and Vick may very well have been an option if Cambpell doesn't pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornToHail Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 He's a back up QB and he just got out of jail. We don't worry about Rhett Bomar when we play the Giants, do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikie Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I would have felt a lot better if an AFC team picked him up or at least someone outside of our division... there's just no denying that guy's athleticism and the wildcat possibilities with him, a true runner/passer, it could be devestating... so I guess, yeah, I care a lot....
