When I lived in PA I used to hate the Eagles because of all the inevitable local over-exposure.  

But these days my animosity toward Philly is completely based on their QB; once they lose Vick (and they will in short order IMO), I actually could learn to like the Eagles in that division.

I know a lot of people have a lot of differing opinions on Vick. He committed a heinous crime and paid his debt. I have followed his off the field stuff and he seems to have turned a corner into understanding what he did and how terrible it was. Nothing he does can change that, but I don't begrudge him his opportunity to come back to the NFL. I have my doubts about his ability to be an effective QB though.

Knowing that Vick is fragile as a plastic fork, Kelly puts him in the Read Option? This blows my mind. Vick was hit about 20 times on Monday Night when it should of been maybe 10.. He keeps taking that abuse, his seasons gonna be cut short, yet again.

As far as him as an NFL Qb, I see him being slightly above avg and maybe top 15 in the league. His mobility is still impressive but his inability to read blitzes and find his hot receivers makes me rage watching him LOL!!!

I think that the read option is better for Vick given how much they use RB's. With Reid, Vick stood back and passed 40+ times a game and got blasted. I think Kelly needs to curb Vick of the blocking nonsense though. No need to get hit like that.

I almost wonder if a Tebow wouldn't fit Kelly's offense as he can run and take a beating. Of course you wonder if he can complet a pass?

teams know he cant throw so when they see him in they pretty much know it's gonna be a running play.

It's a shame the guy is so stubborn about wanting to be a quarterback. I don't think anyone questions his athleticism or his heart; if I had both those things going for me and had a shot at playing in the NFL I'd move to whatever position a team that wanted me asked me to play.

me too. If i had a chance to be a RB or TE and make some bucks I would take it.

16 tds with no ints? Manning is having one of the best seasons we might ever see...

Tebow is as big or bigger than most of the tight ends in the league.....he'd put up huge numbers in that position if he would just drop the idea of having to be a QB.

Wait, I think Denver just scored another td.. I love how people seem to want Chip's head already after just 4 games. Two of the 4 teams we played have 0 losses and the other has a very hot Qb in Phillip Rivers who is having a MONSTER season so far... We are 1-0 against the NFC LOL!!!

Eagles win!! Eagles win!!!
