Vick to the Eagles!!!

Breaking news, what do you think?

Dang, you beat me to it!

This may put a bit of pressure on Mcnabb

Wow, this is a big surprise....but I like it.

I think its a good pick up for the eagles. And Im glad to see Vick get another chance to continue his nfl career. He paid his dues to society and only ignorant people would continue to see the man suffer. I hope this helps the eagles win their division. Man I really hate the cowboys and would love to see them fall flat on their faces.

I'm I the only one that doesn't see how this benefits the eagles in any way, shape or form?

In other news, Stallworth will not play this year.

Can't wait till the fans start asking for Vick to start. This is gonna be funny.

[QUOTE="DrakeNOwns"]Dang, we posted it about the same time, but atleast i gave details! It's a 2 year deal and he is going to play in the 3rd preseason deal. It's a slap in the face for McNabbdodgerblue13

I agree with everything in this statement.

I didn't think the Eagles would pick him. I'm surprised it wasn't a team like the Raiders.

Andy really has a thing for bad QB's lol

Well this will be fun to watch one way or the other

He'll either do well and he'll be fun to watch or he'll do poorly and it'll be fun to watch him fail

Either way the fans win

Honestly, anyone picking him would be some level of a surprise. So how long until he does something stupid again?duxup

What makes you think he's going to do something bad again?

Almost 7mil for two years, wow.

This seeme like a stupid move. Like others have said, there's no way he's replacing McNabb. So you signed him as a backup, but you're paying a Vick-size salary for a backup QB? How much sense does that make?

Honestly, who isint a pothead nowadays? Thats a stupid argument IMO..

Besides, even Tony Dungy said he has changed a lot. Tony Dungy is a guy to trust.

I agree, pot's never an issue unless a player gets tested. With other drugs you can see differences in their behavior, with pot they act normally and then test positive and all of the sudden they're troublemakers.

What makes you think he's going to something bad again? Tony Dungy has said he's seen change in Vick. Vick seems like he's learned his lession. Before the dogfighting case, Vick was pretty neutral off the field. I don't see anything bad from him in the future, and I really hope he has changed as a person.

[QUOTE="taj7575"]

[QUOTE="Nike_Air"]I'd be worried about him falling back into drugs , heard he was a pothead.

Exactly. In a day, they can turn from normal people to the worst guy ever in the face of the media.

damn, i was hoping he would come to the pats (even though there is absolutely no need for him)

This may put a bit of pressure on Mcnabb

Because Coach Dungy ain't all knowing, his son took his life, and he had Tony as his father. So what makes YOU think that talking for a few hours with Vick can turn him unto a new person. No hating here, the work that Dungy does spreading the word of God is comendable but don't set your expectation too high.

He was 'pretty neutral'. besides, that story was not something that would cause a huge outroar over the NFL.

More reason to hate the Eagles.

-Well, that was one of the most ignorant posts I've seen in a while :|. If his son was acting perfectly normal, how did Dungy expect this to happen at all? Honestly, that was such a stupid post that it irks me :x

-It's not just a few hours, Dungy has been with Vick since he has gotten out of jail.

-I just trust Dungy for his honesty. He says Vick has changed, and he probably did. besides, I doubt after 2 years of jail, he will go do something stupid again..

Almost 7mil for two years, wow.

here's the bottom line. The commissioner even told him when they met, that he is on a VERY SHORT LEASH. I'm not a Vick fan (not cause of his criminal activity, just thought he was extremely overrated), but one would have to believe that after ALL that has gone on with him over the past couple years, it would be nothing short of COMPLETE STUPIDITY for him to get in ANY kind of trouble. I expect him to be a model citizen for a long time, or at least until the cloud over him passes (which won't be anytime soon). If he messes up in any way, he's out the league for good. He knows that, he won't mess up

• Of the 108,580 prisoners released from prisons in 11 states in 1983, nearly 63 percent were re-arrested within three years, 47 percent were convicted of a new crime, and 41 percent were returned to prison or jail.
• Among nearly 300,000 prisoners released in 15 states in 1994, 68 percent were re-arrested within three years, 47 percent were convicted of a new crime, and 25 percent were recommitted to prison with a new sentence.

And the trend keeps going upward. Keeping in mind that Vick's case has extraordinary circunstance, I'm sure he has a special support group to help him deal with his situation and guide him trough life. But a guy who messed up when he was at the top of the world, then I would not be surprised if Vick trips now that he has hit rock bottom.

Actually, much of his dogfighting was before he became huge. I agree with your statistics, but like you said, he has people around him that will help. Not many people get that.

I'm not sure what to think really. Unless the Eagles plan on running plenty of oddball plays, I don't see how this makes them better.
