Report: Chip Kelly Meets With Michael Vick
BREAKING NEWS, Eagles, News, Quarterbacks Friday, January 18th, 2013
ProFootballTalk.com reports that new Eagles head coach Chip Kelly and last year’s starting quarterback Michael Vick met today, but there were no decisions made regarding the quarterback’s future with the team.
The Birds will need to make a decision about Vick very soon. He’ll get at least $3 million of his $15 million dollar salary, if they don’t release him before February 6th. If they release him before that date they won’t owe him anything.
Kelly has always had a speedy quarterback during his time with the Oregon Ducks, so it’s been a question which of the Eagles quarterbacks he will want to keep. The coach was very complimentary of Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles, nobody knows which way he’s going to go.

I’m not sure you can say the Atlanta Falcons are no better off now than they were in regard to the QB position. Just a guess but I’m pretty sure Matt Ryan isn’t going to federal prison anytime soon. Most importantly, he likely isn’t going to throw his team and team fans into a pile of shit over some type of absurd illegal activity. I think Matt Ryan will get a trophy for ATL eventually, hes only been in the league like 5 years and has shown to get better, with probably 10 solid years ahead of him. As an Eagles fan, Im much more concerned about having to get through an NFC with Ryan right now going forward then I was in 2004 with Vick. Like Paulman said, its not even close.
I have no problem with that either pheags but its always on the QB. We have all witnessed Ryan come up small in big games and yesterday his defense sucked but all people in Atlanta will remember is he came up small on the last drive. Football is the ultimate team sport but most fans get caught up with one position. He played good enough yesterday they should be in the Super Bowl but nobody will remember that.
Hmmm, you’re right if Matt Ryan did have any type of legal issue, he would never go to federal prison, he wouldn’t go to state prison, hell he wouldn’t even go to county jail. Ben Roethlisberger proved that after being accused of raping not one but three different women he wasn’t even arrested let alone given any type of jail time. I guess I am not understanding what your point is, as it relates to prison, or illegal activity.
Hmmm i think you are clearly just an ignorant retard that knows nothing about the law on federal or state levels. Really you think Matt Ryan wouldn’t go to federal prison if he was caught doing the same illegal activity that Vick did cause he is white? give me a fucking break. Really Big Ben? Was there a conviction that I missed? I guess no conviction because he was white. I guess Kobe is white too then. Fact is Ben never went to jail because there was no conviction just like Kobe never went to jail when he was accused of the same exact thing. No rape conviction no jail time…they both paid money to make their problems go away.
Ray Lewis was a freaking murder suspect. got away with a misdemeanor and no jail time…i guess that was because he was white too. He paid an undisclosed settlement to make his problem go away too (and his bloody suit that magically disappeared)…Again, he must have gotten that break because he is white.
Stallworth and Little both killed a man. Both got a slap on the wrist for it. Must have been because they are white like Matt Ryan and Big Ben.
I can go on and on…
Obviously, your comment suggests you are just a racist. I just showed you it has nothing to do with race. It all about money, when you have money, regardless of race, for the most part you can make your legal problems disappear.
And my comment to Biglion had nothing to do with race. He simply said something like the Falcons are no better off now then they were after Vick lost the NFC championship. I simply disagreed because I doubt Ryan will go to Federal prison anytime soon and he seems to take his career serious which Vick admitted he did not at that age. You say you don’t understand my point? Well let me make it simple for your tiny brain. A franchise that has a QB that is actually allowed to play football and seems to take his career serious is in better shape than a team that has a QB that didn’t take their career serious and also happens to go to prison for a couple of years. I didn’t think you had to be considered a genius to understand that.
The Current Falcons under QB Ryan have become like the Eagles of the Early 2000′s led by McNabb..A good SOlid Team who will compete and most likely get to the Playoffs every season, but still not a Top Notch Team to go all the Way… Now fast forward to 2013 and be honest, as an Eagle fan, would have rather have the days where McNabb was taking the Eagles to the Playoffs every year with at least a chance to win or get all hyped up about the flash and dash type of recent Teams with big name Free-Agnets, Big COntracts, that on paper had more promise and talent, but failed to show heart, passion and toughness to play as a real Football Team…
Come on man I’m taking McNabb all day everyday, paulman I just hope Kelly gets some immediate early success because I don’t want a Petrino situation where the first sign of failure has him running back to college.
Paulman, I would rather take Vicks improbable run for one season in 2010 over that fraud long, overdue tenure here in Phillynof the greatest chike artist in philadelphia history, we knew how it would end with mr, mamas boy, with his air gitaring fake ass, pussy boy, throwing up clown jerk off, is that too strong for you paulman, good I can get even stronger with my disdain of the greatest fraud perpetrated on the eagles, and Andy Reid could say it a lot stronger, but he needs a job
right now just give me a QB who can play all 16 games ! its been several years since we had that
Grow some balls paulman
And your ugly ass would be home for the Playoffs like the last 2 Seasons
The only Fraud in Philadelphia Sports these days is Mike Vick trying to be a
Winning NFL QB
Haha, nice paulman, I like it , showing some juice, Vick had a better chance of leading birds to championship than that fraud mcnabb, I never bought in with McFraud, I did buy in in 2010 with Vick, , and vick is a competitor, unlike puss boy mcnabb, I will tell you that for all his faults the players in the huddle would rather go with Vick, notwithstanding his faults as a quarterback , but a tough sonaofabitch
There’s no doubt that Vick has heart and is a tough competitor,
My issue is that he is a dumb QB who still can’t read Defenses, Coverage’s well enough even as a 10 Year Veteran should.. He’s no better than he was 4-5-6 Years in fact he’s regressed the last 2 Years and is a Team Killer when it comes to Turnovers. He’s horrible and of the All-Time worst
Dumb like that coach killer Cutler, dumb like that turnover machine Room, a sourpuss throw everybody under the bus Rivers? Before you say all time worst you need to look around the league. Dudes stealing money like Cassel and Kolb. How about Pad Statford otherwise known as Matt Stafford take your pick.
That’s supposed to say Romo.
**********News
Former Eagles DL coach Jim Washburn joins Lions’ staff as a def asst. Reunites w/ Jim Schwartz, joins his son Jeremiah.
Coaching staff full of assholes.
Here’s the difference between this ass clown organizations and winning organizations.
The Giants snatched the best talent evaluator Eagles had in Marc Ross who plucked Spags from the linebackers coach position and are him “D” Coordinator.
They win a chip shortly thereafter.
Eagles request to speak with the Giants linebackers coach and he turned down a promotion with a greater pay scale.
This guy didn’t want to become a defensive coordinator for this clown ass organization so the word is spreading around the league that the Eagles brass are clueless.
Or… the birds never offered him a job
