Michael Vick Starting Again And Very Confident
BREAKING NEWS, Eagles, News, Quarterbacks Tuesday, December 25th, 2012
I’m sure you know by now that Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles suffered a broken right hand in the Washington game and will miss the final game of the season against the New York Giants. Clearly the injury had a lot to do with his underthrow to a wide open Jeremy Maclin on the final drive. Eagles head coach Andy Reid let us know yesterday that Michael Vick will get the start in place of Foles.
It will be like a turning the pages back to see Vick as the Birds starting signal caller because it’s almost accepted as fact that Reid and Vick will not return in 2013 as employees of the Philadelphia franchise.
Yesterday Vick spoke to a reporter at the USAToday and seemed to be insulted at the thought that this weekend’s start would be somewhat of an audition for next year’s team.
This is confident talk by Vick when you consider how this year’s season has gone. It’s been very disappointing for number seven and his teammates. They came into the 2012 campaign as a favorite to make the playoffs and make a run at a Super Bowl. Instead, they’re the only NFC East team which has been eliminated from playoff contention.
Vick was also asked if he thought he was treated fairly this season.
“A lot of things transpired this year,” he says. “Do I think some things could have been handled differently? Yeah, maybe so. But there’s no use crying over things you have no control over. The most important thing for me is to give everything I got when I step onto the field and not hold any grudge.”
Perhaps he feels he should have remained the starter after the concussion.

I dint give. Crap if you ever address my comments , I do not post them for you or anyone else, they are my opinions, which are correct, that you are garbage with the way you post, passive aggressive racism, like that damn fool lard ass, vinnie is the most astute poster here, that’s sad since he’s not even from Philly, but screw you little man, you will soon be among the scrap heap, Schiller, navy dizzy real talk, all frauds ,white and black
@paulman, I would love to get the real list of coaches Lurie plans to interview, I have a feeling Chip Kelly isn’t even on there.
Rumor has it that the Panthers are checking for Chip Kelly heavy as well.
Let’s see:
Does Kelly want to coach the QB who prevented him from winning a national Championship
OR
Does he want to coach the QB whose ass he beat. What was that score again?
If the Panthers really throw their hat in the ring for Kelly I think what QB would Kelly keep when he came to Philly might very likely be pointless.
I don’t think Lurie will be all that involved to be honest with you
It will be Roseman/DOnahoe, then if Prospect looks real good, then to Lurie
I would imagine 8-12 Candidates to Interview which will get narrowed down to 3-4 Real candidates and then Lurie will sit inand they go thru their 2nd Rounds of Interviews
Remember the harsh comments had Lurie had last Off-Season about Coach AR not identifying with the local fans,media well enough and that he needed to improve in this area.. I beleive Lurie is defintiely looking for someone who can handle the Pressure of the media/fan attention that comes with Coaching the Eagles and that is either from or has prior experience with the Northeastt Market that really wasn’t there when Reid was hired since there were little expectations due to limited success as a Franchise
With this being said, I believe the Candidates will be as Follows and not in any particular Order
1) NY Jets DC – Mike Pettine
2) Patriots OC – Josh McDaniels
3) Cardinals OC/Asst HC – Russ Grimm
4) Lions OC- Scott LIneham
5) Eagles Current DC – Todd Bowles
6) Vic Fangio – DC of 49ers
7) Mike Nolan – DC of the Falcons
8) Brad Seely – Special Teams and Asst HC of 49ers
9) Tom Clements – QB Coach of the Packers
10) Tom Carmichael Jr – OC of the Saints
11) Jay Gruden – OC of the Bengals
12) Gus Bradley – DC of the Seahawks
12) Mike Zimmer – DC of the Bengals
I’ll take Gruden or Clements off this list in a heartbeat.
Chip Kelly to the ArizonaCardinals with QB geno Smith is my Call
Play that gadget,hectic pace in the Arizona Desert could be effective..
Kelly knows this and will go to a warm weather City or a Dome Team
Eagles then Trade WR D-Jax, OT Todd Herremans, and their 3rd Round PIck in 2013 and 2014 to the Cardinals for WR Larry Fitzgerald..
If the cards agree to that their GM should be drug tested
There we saying if Chip Kelly has about 4 teams that want him .. Of course hes gonna go coach Cam Newton.. Who would you pick to be your quarterback Newton or Foles..
I think gruden would be the perfect coach… even though hes alredy won a super bowl.. I just like how tenacious gruden is .. about the run and the pass ..I think he would work well with foles and/or vick… If we were to draft geno smith I would go in another direction probably with tom clements or chip kelly
The Eagles don’t need a change of coaching, they need a change of philosophy. First, they must revamp their offense line using big road graters instead of the Mudd types. Jason Peters and Herremanns covered a number of short comings when they anchored the left side. Secondly, they need to rely heavily on the running game i.e (McCoy and an emerging Brown). Finally, the offense needs two big receivers who aren’t afraid to make things happens in the middle of the field. By the way, most of Indy’s starting offense line are former Eagles! GO FIGURE
You can’t chage PHilosophy with the Same old Coach Keith
Coach AR and MM are what they are, happy go lucky Pass-Aholics
that’s not going to Change, Time to clean house and move on and bring in
a new HC with a new Philsophy and new Energy..
More likely Vick probably think the O-Line should have switched to a drop-back blocking technique in pass protection before he got a concussion instead of after.
Paulman-Reid is guilty of allowing too much power to muddy and washburn. These individuals were good in different types of football programs however the Eagles were a more explosive offense before mudd’s scheme. Their defense wasn’t getting gashed as much before the wide-nine.
Reid’s draft evaluation could be better; Rehiring Juan Castillo is not a bad move. He is one of the best offensive line coaches in football.
Says who? Thats the problem with thos coaching staff over the years….
Bobby april…. best special teams coach
Mart m… best o mind in football.
Andy reid….. qb guru.
Juan….. best oline coach
Mudd… the other best oline coach
Mcd….. bright young dc
Philly press people tell us this. Get oeiven winners. This losing cast has like NO superbowl wins.
I I think (as most do) that AR’s run has come to an end
He needs a break, the Franchise needs a new vision and us fans need chabges to get excited about again. I wish AR well
But it’s time for a new set of Leadership for this Club
Paulman, again, as much as you lead insight into players, you are one dumb son of a bitch to say Lurie is not that involved, Lurie has input on every major move on personnel the eagles make, Reid can’t wait to leave and get out from lurie’s thumb, Reid never wanted , traded his sorry ass, just to be riddled with Vick, another bust, but that was lurie’s choice, Reid wanted kolb, now Reid finally has his quarterback in foles but it’s too late
Reid never wanted McFraud , that pick was foisted on him
You must be hitting the sauce again. 5 was the best qb in eagles history. You are rip van winkle and have been asleep
B.s. jake. 5 is exactly who he wanted.
Change change change…. everything must go. Andy had a good run…. last decade. Time to get back to basics. Back to eagles ball. Hard hitting blue color D. I dont want to hear that we will miss andy… or qe dont know what weve got… or… give him less control or more control. Hes gone.
Vick gone unless we get kelly.
Foles… we will see. For akk you cats that hold his jock..m the man hasnt won in college or in pros. Hes ok. Nothing more. He does NOT get handed the starting job like kolb did. If he wants it…. he earns it… good thing is… he would want it that way.
Nnamdi and drc… were holding tryouts (as i drop the pool stick).
Next year is about leadership. I dont expect playoffs but i expect leaders. A team. I expect hits. And heart. No more of this air it out crap. Use your oline… use your rb’s.
I see, some of you had TOO MUCH of the Egg Nog, HUH?!? JEESH!!!! Season END!! PLEASE!!!!!!!
