Dcar…what I think will be funnier is if Vick has another game like last week…goes 20 of 35 for 207 1td and no picks and the Birds lose 35-17 and then I get to read another week of…”why change the QB – its not his fault!” He had a relaqtively good game…he didn’t turn the ball over!!!! articles, like I did this week.

Expectations now so low for Vick that I love how the paramaters of what constitutes a “good game” have been reduced when it comes to Vick.

He throws for 200 and one garbage time TD when Atlanta is on the bus, and people write that it was a “good game”……

Chalk it up to another blow out loss. Vick 17-39 comp. 200 yds passing. 3 TO’s. Sacked 3 times. Run not utilized again. 41-20 Saints! SAME OLD $#!T!!!!!

Reid knows if he starts Foles and if he struggles he cant put Vick back in….it will kill the kids confidence…..

mhenski I told you 7 is playing god awful and please with the stats they mean nothing the Vikings beat the Cardinals and Ponder had 52 yards passing. We need to see Curry or how about we just scrap the wide nine and see what happens. In my opinion unless or until Vick plays his natural game he is a liability. Forget all that pocket QB nonsense that’s not what he is’.

Don’t forget the offensive line is a hot mess.If he puts Foles in, the offense becomes somewhat predictable be that he will have to rely on Shady more to carry the team, something he has yet to do.

Vick Completion % 59.0
Ponder completion % 65.3

Vick Ints 8
Ponder Ints 7

Vick yds/attempt 6.85
Ponder yds/attempt 6.65

Vick Qb rating 78.6
Ponder Qb rating 85.8

If Ponder sucks what is Vick?

Also, I am not so sure Reid will have a job a week after he is fired. I know if I am the owner of a team I would take a long look at his methodology his schemes his talent evaluations and so on… not sure he would be on the top of my list for a call.

The Dline is a strange situation, that’s for sure. But I think one thing you can loook at is

Jenkins
Cole
Babin
Vick…I know he’s on not a dlineman, but his drop this year has been even more precipitous than I would have imagines (though he didn’t have a high perch to fall from)

What do all these guys have in common?

1 – They are all a little undersized for their position
2 – They are all “high motor” guys…not guys with natural size or talent for their position, but careers built on energy, tenacity, quickness, speed.
3 – They are all on the wrong side of 30

Those “high motors” have a lot of mileage on them….and they’re slowing down.

We all know that RBs often fall right off a cliff at some point between 30 and 32….why can we not accept the same thing can happen to players at other positions, especially ones whose legs have taken a beating.

More to this point, I have no idea why I haven’t seen more of Graham, Hunt and especially Curry this yeaar.

I see your point Vinnie but really if the kid can play put him in, hell Ponder sucks and I’m a Seminole fan. The stage shouldn’t matter hell I’d like to see what kind of balls he has hell with easing him in. Andy Reid will have a job a week after he’s fired. And yes I truly believe if your a player the stage shouldn’t matter he’s been playing QB his whole life.
