BREAKING NEWS(Micheal Vick is named the starter)

OMGVICK IS BACKThis is a dream come true for me vick was my second favorite player back in the day behind mcnabb know he is replacing him HAHHAHAHAHAHA.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81ab9f7a/article/reid-switches-gears-picks-vick-over-kolb-as-eagles-qb?module=breaking_newswatching it right know on nfl network.

The Eagles Organization is just...confusing. Trade away McNabb, give the reigns to Kolb who didn't earn the right to start, play him, then pull the starting job away from him, and give the job to Vick.

Being an Eagle fan is hard.:(

I'm not surprised but I would like to see him play against a great defense that is well prepared for him.

They have this guy slated to be the future, then demote him after one half and a concussion? Wow.monkeytoes61

Andy Reid's on the hot seat. He has to play the guy who gives them a better chance to win now, not the guy who might turn out to be a great QB in the future.

Good. When he sucks because he actually plays a good team (prob not this week....) I'll be there with a grin.

If he proves me wrong, good for him.

Yeah, that trade still makes no sense to me.

this should have been a no brainer

its difficlut for me, i guess cause i love mcnabb :P :(

As a Jags fan......oh crap.

good move by reid and the eagles. finally. and to the vick haters. please get over the dog issue. the man served time,lost millions,etc... he owes nobody nothing and i wish him nothing but success. he is a hell of an athlete.

Before anyone states that Kolb shouldn't have lost the starting job because of injury, look no further then Tom Brady and Big Ben. Those two have combined to win half superbowls between 2000-2010 and both got the starting job because the starter got injured.No_Hablo_Ingles

In every sports forum I go to, at least 85% of football fans thought Vick should start. Sportsnation did a poll and 88% thought Vick should continue starting.No_Hablo_Ingles

that really doesn't.

coaching picks the best candidate for the job, not for what the fans think.

It was a no brainer. In the words of Herm Edwards---"You play to win the game!" At this point, between Kolb and Vick, Vick seems to have this team running better.

[QUOTE="-Halftime-"][QUOTE="MoonMarvel"] Doesnt bring back those animals he killed. And yes, their deaths are his fault and dogs are living creatures too. You wouldnt want him playing if it was a human he killed would you?MoonMarvel

McNabb got traded because after 5 chances he failed to lead a talented team to a title. Philly is a tough sports town, they dont put up with failure for long.

Very smart move by the Eagles. I know Kolb hasn't gotten to play too much, but it is glaringly obvious that Vick is the better QB right now. He is playing some of the best football around right now and gives the Eagles the best chance to win. Like someone mentioned, he looks like a young McNabb, except with a 4.3 40 speed. I think the Eagles are going to go far this year with Vick.

[QUOTE="-Halftime-"] No I wouldn't, but Donte Stallworth and Leonard Little are still playing, aren't they? I'm an animal lover. I love dogs and the way Vick treated them sickened me. But the man has paid his debt. He lost everything he had, he went to prison, and by all accounts that part of his life is done. Go Mike Vick. He deserved to be starting. I'm glad Reid realized that Kolb sucked and we traded McNabb for no reason.frostybanana

Totally agree with frostybanana on this one in all of what you said. On Vick specifically, you also have to realize that what he did was something that is more common place than people realize. I'm not trying to say that means it's right or okay, I'm just saying that when you grow up around it and it's shown to be a normal thing to you, it's hard to not start that up as well. I look at the fact that Vick did his time and has done nothing to make me (or anyone else) think that he hasn't put that behind him and hasn't changed as a person in that respect. You can still dislike him for what he did, that's only fair, but he deserves every right to have a second chance at football and at his life.

Found this kinda funny. The comments by users are better.

"Eagles throw Vick a bone."

I am an Eagle fan. Yeah it was tough for the Bills back then...but in the early 00's, the Eagles were on the brink of something great. Now look what has happened! I know we should be greatful to going from cellar dwellars to title contenders, and we are. It's just that this team has heaps of potential, and the Front Office has made so many...questionable movies in the past few years.
