Well the Reid is gone
No way Foles is stepping in right from the start and leading the team
He has to mature and learn and in real games
Unfortunately that will probably mean no playoffs
So Reid is gone
Reid real mistake was talking Laurie into signing Vick and thinking he could develop him as a passer

Vick is fucking brutal.

The more I think about this the more I think the time may be halftime of the Giants game for Foles if Vick continues his elementary play. I am not a fan of throwing a 3rd round draft pick rookie into the fire this early in the season and his career but the kid Foles showed he could play in the preseason (so did russel wilson and that isnt working out though). However, you can get any worse QB play then we have for the the 1st 3 games of the season, you cant. At this moment I believe Foles would have been better in every single statistical category than Vick if he played the first 3 games. Another plus if they bring in Foles is they will go to the basics at least initially which means more McCoy!

I hope Vick can play close to average against the giants so Foles doesnt get thrown to the wolves but I believe Foles could handle it he was used to a dogshit line in Arizona

No surprise here at all, most us know (including Vick and Coach AR) that his play and the teams success or failure for 2012 will decide both of their futures as far as remaing with the Eagles.. Is Vick pressing too much, who knows but when you look at the totalitry of his 10 Year Career (Minus the Golden 6 Week stretch of Oct/November 2010) Vick has played pretty close to his Career #’s… which is a high-risk/high reward type of Player who has never grown or show the consistency and smarts to be a real winner in the NFL.. Take out that phenomenal stretch of ball he playes in 2010 from Oct to mid November, take out those 6 games or so and look at his other starts while in Philly and there are some pretty ugly games and perfromances where his decision making, poor ball security have actually cost the Eagles many games ( I look at the Bears and Vikings games of 2010, the BIlls,Bears, Cardinals, 1st Giants game of 2011 and now you see 3 poor performances to start the 2012 season..)
Career wise- Vick Stats have never been that good as far as his Completion % or his Turnovers Ratio.. Yes he’s exciting and a great Athlete who happens to play the QB position, to say he is an Elite QB or even a Top #10 QB is a real stretch..
This 2012 Season Vick is currently ranks at #29 out of #32 QB with only
Jay Cutler and 2 Rookies (Weeden and Tannehill) are the only QB’s ranked below him
Another interesting Stat and probably more reflective of how Efficient and Clutch a QB is the new “QBR Rating System” which takes every play in account that a QB is involved in and is just not based on Yards Thrown,TD,s and Turnovers and is Scored out of a 100 but is more weighted in actual performance of a QB (3rd Down Efficiency, Red Zone Efficiency, when and where are the Turnovers, How is Play/Production at the end of a half and at the end of a game, negative plays, postive plays, etc,etc) .. Vick has a Score of 38.8 which is again one of th e NFL’s lowest scores of all Starting QB’s
