Eagles head coach Chip Kelly just named Nick Foles the starter on Sunday. Hopefully we’ll see the Foles who played against the Buccaneers and not the one who played against the Cowboys. We all have to accept the fact that Foles, Michael Vick and Matt Barkley are all really backup quarterbacks. There’s no question now, that Chip Kelly and the Eagles organization will need to use a first round draft pick on a quarterback in this year’s draft.
They find themselves in second place in the division at the half-way point of the season at 3-5. They will try to win five of their remaining eight games to win the NFC East because I think 8-8 will be good enough for the crown. Unfortunately for the Birds, they’ll have to do it with three backup quarterbacks.
Foles split the first team snaps with Barkley, yesterday at practice and he will start on Sunday. He probably gives the Birds the best chance to win, as long as that guy who played against the Cowboys doesn’t show up. The young second-year signal caller is able to execute the offense most of the time and he can make all the throws, but that Cowboys game puts a big question mark in everybody’s mind.
The Raiders won’t have to worry about the the Eagles running any read options with Foles at the quarterback position. If they can handle the inside and outside zone plays, then they’ll be able to keep the Birds number one weapon, LeSean McCoy under wraps. If the Birds try to run the read option, which they will probably shelve for this game, Oakland will know to tackle McCoy on all fakes and dare Foles to beat them with his speed.
The fact that he can’t run the entire offense makes him a backup. It doesn’t make any sense to have a starting quarterback who can’t run the entire offense.
Vick can’t be a starting quarterback ever again because he can’t stay healthy. He’s more fragile now than he was ever was before. In the past, Vick had to at least be hit to get injured. Now he doesn’t even need to get hit. He breaks down when running downfield. One of the prerequisites for being a starting quarterback in the NFL is staying healthy enough to show up every week. Vick has proven he can’t do that. He’s now just breaking down. The hamstring injury isn’t the kind of injury we thought would sideline him. missing games because of his age.
After this year, Vick should go to a team in the league that’s willing to pay him to back up. Who knows maybe Reid puts him behind Alex Smith because Vick is capable of taking over for a game or two and beating any team in the league.
Foles fits the offense better than Barkley. I don’t understand why Barkley is even on the team. He’s got a weak arm and I don’t think he has a body that can take the pounding required of quarterbacks in the NFL. Like Foles, Barkley can’t run all of Kelly’s offense. If Andy Reid had drafted Barkley to run his west coast offense, I would have understood. You don’t need a strong arm or foot speed to run the west coast offense, but you need both to execute all of Kelly’s attack. Barkley is not the type of quarterback who will flourish in Kelly’s offense.
We don’t need all this crying by the media and Barkley about how he didn’t practice the play in the Giants game, which he fumbled. I think it’s a matter of making a big deal out of nothing, when reporters are crying over whether Barkley practiced the play or not. I can’t stand all this crying. Foles didn’t have a problem getting up off the bench and getting in there and doing his job against the Giants in the first meeting.
There’s no crying in baseball and there’s no crying in football, either. When has anybody ever asked each player on the team whether they practiced a play in which they messed up? It doesn’t matter whether you practiced the play or not, you’re supposed to do your job. If he didn’t feel confident about executing the play, he should have stayed after practice and worked on it.
The only hope for the Eagles in making this year’s playoffs will be for the team’s running game to step up. The passing game will continue to struggle as long as they get up in the faces of the Eagles receivers and force them to beat the man-to-man coverages.
Draft a QB and put him behind this horendus o-line. Yup the stuff of experts. We need to use Vick atleast another year or two. The only concern I have about that is HE WINS GAMES WHEN HEALTHY AND PROTECTED BY THE O-LINE!!!!! could end up seeing low draft picks for QB’s in the first round. Fix the O-Line…… Fix the Tight End situation, Then draft a QB….. Dont start Vick because just like every player in football he gets hurt. Dont start Foles because he cant run the entire offense. Start Barkley “G” Seriously?
Are you joking Theone1?
Do you realize that the season ticket holders would rebel if Michael Vick were to return as the starter next year? I know that I would sell my season tickets, and nearly every person who sits around me in section 101 would do the same. The Eagles have lost 10 straight home games…
“HE WINS GAMES WHEN HEALTHY AND PROTECTED BY THE O-LINE!!!!!
Vick is 5-11 over the past two seasons – where are those wins?
They should rebel NOW! You and them was SOLD this summer about an excited uptempo offense we have seen glimpses of only to realize that we do not have the right personell as a TEAM to run it REBEL NOW! The real fans will always return no matter what. I am very glad that we have a coach and a team whom will not be held hostage by the media, or SEASON TICKET HOLDERS!!!! this season ticket holder will support my team for years to come, WIN OR LOSE!!!!!!
Wake up Theone1 – Chip Kelly IS held hostage! If this team does not win games Kelly will be fired.
If you think Chip Kelly would consider bringing Michael Vick back for another season, then you are nuts…
The biggest mistake Kelly has made so far in his brief NFL coaching career was to bring Vick back this season as the starting quarterback.
There were countless people, with far less football acumen than Chip Kelly is supposed to have, who predicted this outcome before the season started.
Do you not understand that it’s a black eye for Kelly to join the ranks of coaches who were fooled by the “rejuvenated” Michael Vick. Kelly should have known that Vick would start off great then fizzle after a few games. He has done it so many times before – Vick is the king of the sugar high.
You dumb SOB!!!!! HE JUST GOT HERE…. because he wont tow the line and be your fucking monkey you turn on him? Halfway into the season? Your in Pittsburgh Aren’t you!!!!!! YOUR NOT A FAN…… certainly not a smart one anyway. Keep posting though its exactly want they want LOL good shit!
Theone1—- the top three targets who receive the football are McCoy, DJax and Avant in that order and yet omit any criticism of their inability to put points on the board. Their pay checks mirror their targets also. These are the players being paid to score and are receiving the football. And all 3 are 100% healthy ( not a scratch on them)
I swear some medication should be prescribed to the Cult of Vick Members. Their delusions of resigning him are out of control. Lets move on and stay the course.
Stop eating the paint chips, sniffing glue, huffing, & smoking crack bruh! Your brain, reasoning & sense of reality, is irreversibly irrationally distorted!
vick really? he hasn’t proved fragile over an entire career to you? really? hmm
I stated all Off-Season that the way to go was with Foles running a more Pat Shurmur West Coast Style with an occasional mix of Read-option with Dennis Dixon and the Eagles would have been better off, but what do I know about Football and the Eagles … What I do know is that Chip Kelly’s Read-Option is not the way to go moving Forward… It’s a fad and gimmick which won’t Win consistently in the NFL… Kelly is a Gimmick
must agree with you should have had foles running the offense with dennis dixon as a back up DON’T UNDERSTAND DRAFTING BARLLEY. where is dixon did someone pick him up
No on this site even READS LMAO. Please….. Someone comment who actually read my post and this article. A lil reading comprehension PLEASE! Not really suprised with all the stupid shit posted anyway.
yes sir you are 100% correct Theone1.
Better?
LOL –
You didnt read it….. TRY AGAIN!!!!! Glasses maybe? Or are you just stupid?
I reread what you wrote, Your right, next time you might wanna reword it or use more commas. I say we play Foles a few game and if he can’t win, Barkley finishes the last 5 games and Next year.
But there is also something about tossing a 1st round rookie in there. I don’t think our line is atrocious and we have FA money. So we have stuff to work with on the O-line.
FINALLY!!!! A serious conversation. The “O” line kind of snuck up on us this season. We projected them good, but they are woefully bad. Heremans needs to go. Peters is no longer a pro-bowler. Evan mathis and Kelce are serviceable. Lane Johnson needs more than three years(In his entire football life) Line experience. We just need pieces man. What Vick gives me is some excitement while watching my beloved Eagles RE-Build. Make no mistake, that is what they are doing.
yeah they are rebuilding but I think you need to pick a young guy and let him grow into the position. Either a number 1 next year or one of the two already on the roster. Pick one stick with them and go…let the entire team grow. I am so over excitement, because it doesn’t do a damn thing in the win or progress column. I personally am so over it man, have been for a long time. I am fearing that chip is clueless and will wind up back in college in a few years.
My fears exactly X, he will struggle this year and next and return to college. Putting the franchise further behind the eight ball.
Why put your entire ofensive package on the field for other teams to begin to figure out, without having the personel tobe sucessful. Chip is a genius. Be patient.
agreed finally someone finally said the o line sucked they ALL WERE BAD
Theone1- Take this personally. Vick is an injury prone, erratic thrower of the football who was really fast and can throw really far. That is it. Not intelligent enough to read defenses, even though he has been in the league (except for that jail thing) since 2004. He is not a complete NFL quarterback. He never was and he never will be. Never. This player will not be on the Eagles in 2014. He might find a place on the bench for another team at a 6-8 hundred thousand dollar range but he can never be expected to last 8 games a year, let alone 16. Kudos to him for seemingly turning his personal life around. However that isn’t going to help anyone win games in the NFL.
Ok Idiot. I see you.
I’m no idiot. These are facts, not opinions. Look, we’re all eagles fans and if Vick were getting it done, we would all be behind him. But the facts cannot be changed. Even by calling me an idiot
Ok Idiot. I see you!
“he wins games when healthy and protected by the Oline” is like saying:
Tebow wins games when his team has a strong running game and he isn’t asked to throw the ball.
When has Vick last played a season where he was healthy? And as he get’s older, you are looking for that to improve? Another 2 years?! Crazy. Even the biggest Vick fans on here would have trouble saying he should start for another 2 years on this team.
Vick in the same light as Tim Tebow…. BRILLIANT!!!!!!
OK genius, speaking of reading a post, why not answer my question about Vick being healthy?
It hasn’t happened as an Eagle, and you would need to look prior to prison to find a year when he played completely healthy. If you are going to make that statement, why not say that we should sign Farve to play provided he would be healthy? At least Farve won playoff games and a SB. Stupid comment…he wins when he is healthy…and I bet Stephen Hawkings would be really fast in a race if he wasn’t in a wheel chair….stupid
“Tebow wins games when his team has a strong running game and he isn’t asked to throw the ball”
See the quotes BALL BOY??? If you have to throw Tim Tebow into ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT FACTS! Then you are truely desperate
I get it now….your screen name…it refers to your IQ.
It all makes sense now. Carry on with you inane posts, and refuse to answer a question about Vick’s history of injuries.
It is called stating the absurd to point out how absurd your comment regarding a healthy Vick, an oxymoronic statement if there ever was one, was. I figured the literary trick would go right over your head, and I was right. Maybe I will draw a picture next time, that appears to be on your comprehension level.
Hahaha, You can do better than that cant you? Come on advertisers are paying for this. Lame SOB!
Better late than never
Djax, Avant, Celek, Cooper, Shaddy Ertz, & Brown better be limping off the field, grass stained and bleeding if they put up zero touchdowns again.
Every inch of ground needs to be fought for when you scored zero touchdowns in 8 straight quarters. No more avoiding tackles, running out of bounds, sliding, ducking, fading away from the pass waiting for the football to land in your heads.
Hahahahahaha…… Asshole!!!!
Eagles are not a Playoff Team, and even if they were to Win the watered down NFC East with an 8-8 or 9-7 Record, they would get smoked in the WIldcard Round by the 49ers,Seahawks so let’s stop worrying about whether they make the Playoffs in 2013 for it’s meaningless
The entire Focus and Premise for 2013 by Kelly and Staff should have been to begin purging the old loser mentality that’s been on this Roster for the last 3-4 Years and replace them with Younger PLayers to builkd a Core of PLayers for the Future moving Forward…
I stated and still stand-by that keeping PLayers like Vick,Avant,Herremans,Celek,Cole,Ryans, to win 6-7-8 Games in 2013 would be a detriment to the future Core and Growth of the Team and in 2-3 Years Time, who is going to care of remember what the Eagles 2013 Record was..
Chip Kelly as the new Sherriff in Town completely screwed up and miscalculated how bad this Roster really is and how much of a makeover it’s going to take and now he has wasted 1/2 of Year 1 of a Rebuilding PRoject
DO you think if he came out honestly back in January and stated to the Fans that hey, we have a lot of holes to rebuild and putting in new Systems with the right Players is going to take time that he wouldn’t have haad the support of the Fans & media for at least Year 1.. but by making the decisions he’s made, and resigning Vick, and kepping Veterans around that do not fir his system at all because he’s in it to Win now was just assanine ..
Eagles trained,coached Young Players that I thought have a Future in the NFL, the Russell Shepards, Chris McCoy, Emmanuel Acho, Vinny Curry, Danarius Johnson, Matt Tucker etc,etc to Start with a new Vision of his Players and instead they keep the same old loser, excused-filled Veterans who haven’t won anything in 3 Years …
Kelly I believe finally relalizes this and will make some changes over the next 2-3 Weeks and move forward with the Younger Players..
**NFL News***
Ravens make 2 Surprising Moves by Releasing
DL Marcus Spears and Safety Michael Huff
FOr anyone who follows teh Ravens closeley, these moves are not a real shock, they prefer to Draft and build and mold players in their Own system as opposed to signing and adding Free-Agents… They probably did so after losing so many PLayers off their SUper Bowl Team from Last year that they had to fill some Roster Spots…
Safety Michael Huff is a Player I like and would be worth taking a good look at in my opinion…
Huff is injury prone not worth the hassle. He’s been overrated for years,no surprise they cut him.
Wake up Theone1 – Chip Kelly IS held hostage! If this team does not win games Kelly will be fired.
If you think Chip Kelly would consider bringing Michael Vick back for another season, then you are nuts…
The biggest mistake Kelly has made so far in his brief NFL coaching career was to bring Vick back this season as the starting quarterback.

You dumb SOB!!!!! HE JUST GOT HERE…. because he wont tow the line and be your fucking monkey you turn on him? Halfway into the season? Your in Pittsburgh Aren’t you!!!!!! YOUR NOT A FAN…… certainly not a smart one anyway. Keep posting though its exactly want they want LOL good shit!
Who the hell are you talking Theone1, me?
No I’m not in Pittsburgh – I’m right here in the Philadelphia area – been an Eagles season ticket holder for 10+ years, and I love the Eagles – NOT MIKE VICK.
As for Chip Kelly just getting here – so what? He just got here and he made the same mistake as the guy who got fired last year…. Right now he is looking a lot like Steve Spurrier – another college genius who failed in the NFL….
As far as I’m concerned Chip is off to a bad start – I know you like him because he picked your hero Vick to be the starter… Well that is why I question his genius status..
I like chip because he obvious ignores idiots like you. Something I can work on.
Andy Reid ignored me too, so did Rich Kotite – do you like them too?
Let’s face it Theone1 – you’re having a hard time getting off your knees for Mike Vick. Don’t feel bad, some other posters on this site are dressing their children in Redskins jerseys.
LOL….good one Irish.
Found a new mate SlimeFan? Cant get off your knees for eachother?
Theone1, you just might be the most, imbecilic moron on here. Really! Put the pipe down bruh, you are the only dumb@$$ on here, 2day. Blow the candles out around your Vick shrine, put away the posters, bobbleheads, & uniforms. It’s over bruh! The sooner you cultists get it through your thick, irrational pea brains, the faster & easier the pain will subside! WOW!!!!
READ!!!!!! Comprehend….. Respond!!!!!!!!! That is the natural order of things. Let me guess DCar… 3rd grade? IT SHOWS!!!!!!
Let me guess theone,……..3 months old?
whining and complaining like a cry baby that didn’t get her way, sorry, vick is outta heeeeeere
Ok FOr you and all the rest of the uh CLASS!!!! My post basically agreed with you. VICK CANT STAY HEALTY…. That is right. However We need to hang on to him because Foles cant run the entire ofense, and barkley is not ready. Draft another rookie QB? Well next year, unless we get a number “1” he will not be ready either. Would you rather trade Vick and bring another veteran? How about some real ideas instead of hoping your own fucking team loses. You bitches really make me sick!!!!
We talk about real ideas all of the time, & your f^#@ing, stupid brain damaged idea of bringing him back for another 1-2 years, is the stupidest thing I’ve heard, in a long time! Who the f^#@ is rooting for our own team to lose, you dimwit? You biatches really make me sick! Go pray to your Vick shrine!
and the idea was? moron….
Ya 3 months old and running circles around your dumb ass. Priceless.
I believe numbnuts, that you are the “Theone” in need of Hooked on phonics, & need to tighten up on your comprehension.
“Draft a QB and put him behind this horendus o-line. Yup the stuff of experts. We need to use Vick atleast another year or two. The only concern I have about that is HE WINS GAMES WHEN HEALTHY AND PROTECTED BY THE O-LINE!!!!!” Those are your quotes, right dum@$$? Where did I not comprehend the imbecilic, stupidity at? Your stupid ideas, in quote! Like I said, go blow out the candles at your shrine, & put away the memorabilia! He’s done, & I can’t wait until he’s gone, because all of his idol worshipping non Eagles fans, like you, will be gone with him!
Truely clueless..
Great article, gcobb, eagles especially on offense are the biggest bunch of whiners, complainers, excuse makers cry babies
Barkley, just stfu , you are a professional qb, it is a play you should make, no excuses
Vick has checked out, seeyou mike, you tried but you are just not good enough, and now father time has taken from you your best skill, running, and you never learned to play qb, so as gobb states, you are now a scrub, a back up
Nick Foles, you have showed promise but you let the team, the city, the fan base own with an abysmal performance against the cowboys, at lest you show leadership by not blaming others, making excuses like Barkley or pouting like Vick,
But it’s time to see what you have in you, can you bounce back, we will be watching
Gcobb getting as restless, angry as we are, good job G
Mike Vick in a million years would never voluntarily remove himself from a game. Those Vick tears were for being benched. The sugar coated Mike Vick couldn’t go story is complete fiction.
The white towel was thrown into the ring.
33 year old Mike Vick’s benching first casualty-
32 Issac Sopoaga traded –
31 Jason Peters denied contract extension-
just look at the Eagles roster’s ages to find the next moves –
Full Blown rebuild started Sunday 2nd quarter
I can’t wait either and would have rather seen it done in the Off-Season
Goodbye Trent COle, Brett Celek, Todd Herraman’s, Jason Peters, JAson Avant .. I mean, it’s not like the EAgles have Won anything with these PLayers..
I see Barbree at LT to replace Peters
I see Dennis Kelly at RG to replace Herremans
Ertz/Casey to replace Celek and they need to find out about Casey or he’s a goner too
RB Polk & Tucker over did hit me Bryce Brown who is a goner
WR Maehl,D Johnson in the SLot over Jason Avant (Why did they cut Russell Sheppard again)
LB McCoy for Trent Cole
DL Damion Square & Vinny Curry over Soapaga & Brandon Graham
LB Jake Knott & N Goode over DeMeco Ryans
Cut the Chord with the Loser Mentality and if LeSean McCoy and D-Jax sulked about their Friend Vick being removed and quit on the Team and their Teammates this 2nd half of the Season , then move them also where they actually can Return Some HIgh Draft Picks in Return
Can’t disagree 1 BIT!
Ok FOr you and all the rest of the uh CLASS!!!! My post basically agreed with you. VICK CANT STAY HEALTY…. That is right. However We need to hang on to him because Foles cant run the entire ofense, and barkley is not ready. Draft another rookie QB? Well next year, unless we get a number “1” he will not be ready either. Would you rather trade Vick and bring another veteran? How about some real ideas instead of hoping your own fucking team loses. You bitches really make me sick!!!!
Fuck these clowns. You’re exactly right.
Reports aer that Mike Vick has left the Eagles NovaCare Complex to go back to Virginia and comtemplate his next move.. Unfornuately, all Interviews and Questions will be directed thru his Brother Marcus which is not a very smart move, But Good Luck Mike and keep your Chin Up, you have been thru much worse things in life than worrying about getting benched or released from a NFL Football Team.. Your still a Young Man, and a good Man with a bright Future in many other areas that you choose to go into. So go follow your Dream or invent a new One…
People are ignorant. < and that's my nice comment.
It started w/. Hollis Thomas Declaring Vick was better than: Dalton, Flacco, Stafford, & Ryan while pausing on Geno Smith.
Now, after Foles has had 1 career Bad game he is a future back up at best. Being lumped into the same spot as Barkley, who has shown absolutely NOTHING.
The only good thing someone can take from this god forsaken retarded a*s article is that the jackwagon Vick lovers are finally acceptingVick is OLD and Brittle. Once was, is not anymore.
Forgive me when I laugh down your incompetent dimwitted articles next week after Foles roles over Oakland.
So you best Man UP when it happens! The last thing I want to read is another article that says: Foles played well because the Line, because the running game. Because the stars were aligned in the right space.
Enough is Enough. Foles is playing against one of the best Defenses in Football and is going to whooop that TAIL
Anyone else think that “Theone1” is off his medication today?
Can someone please call his nurse and tell her to up the dosage?
Your mother was here already, She’s actually a BlackFan!!!! WHAT ELSE YA GOT!!!!!
My mother died years ago so I guess you let everyone know that you will fuck a corpse. Classy, dellusional fool.
You actually went to “your momma” shit on a blog? What is this the internet ghetto of 14 year old kids on the corner? ‘ your momma” ? I thought the thugs that challenge others to fights were the lowest class morons on here… But you win
Thanks, Now move on Bitch, no crying in FOOTBALL!!!
Who’s crying? You just exposed yourself as a lowlife loser. Pathetic.
At least skayne, unreal, ts recognize the obvious.
1 you are an ignorant low life pos ..not too bright either… Your momma stuff is reserved for desperate fools that have lost the argument…like name calling, cursing and yelling.
I think Theone1 is really Marcus Vick,who is killing time, waiting for his Big Brother to come back home to the Tidewater Hood..
Wait I thought that skayne was Marcus? And I’m not even kidding?
Maybe, but not as low as the low hanging fruit I was tea bagging in your mom’s LOL. Get a life Dusch Bag!!!!
Very witty, intelligent, well thought out. Good luck marcus
That’s Douche BTW
NO DUSCH BAG!!!!!!!!! GFYS!!!!!!!!!!
Is how I know there are no locker room types on this blog. NO PLAYERS! Cant take a yo momma joke? Really? Most of you would be a cancer to any locker room. Certainly this blog.
another “Amateur” appears out of the woodwork.. .
Paulman,
YOUR MOTHER WAS NO AMATEUR!!!!!!!! I can vouch for her!
Marcus you had a good year or so at va tech.. I give you that one
Worst Eagles blog/site in America
G Cobb toy have to be the most flip flopping bitch I’ve seen in a while.
One minute you praise Vick and say that he absolutely should be the starter and now we have 3 backups? We have TWO backups you ugly ass big mustache bitch.
That’s why this fuckin site is irrelevant. And all these people on here talking probably can’t throw a fuckin spiral.
Fuck you G Cobb and all the Vick haters on here too and dick this site. Vick will play again. Write that shit down Bitch ass
Ottawa rough riders … I agree he will play
Just to curse me further.
However…the Rough Riders folded about a decade ago. New stadium is being built right now for the expansion Ottawa Redblacks which start next season.
Vick at the helm. Good times for everyone in Ottawa! Esp me.
The team sucks not just the QB dumb ass
Marcus? You read Gcobb? I thought you just posted ignorant comments on twitter?
Sorry Guys, Marcus and I are trying to pull your mother off of the POLE! Her quarter ran out.
Vick put it all on the line for this city and he has his fault in this, but these fuckas want Vick gone is crazy.
Vick alone made the team suck? They mention only the QB at fault and not anything else. These comments is why I hate this fuckin site. Full of hate. Keep voicing your opinion. What they’re scared of. .. Vick always comes back and he will play again this year.
Their “iron man QB” Nick Folds can’t stay healthy either. 3 backup QBs. Fuckin Bullshit
Hey Vick supporta , motha this and that, you gangsta low down, motha fucker, and deep ugly ass, puny bro , we don’t cotton to you motha fucka, we are from Philadelphia and we will kick your ass
I wish you would try it white boy
Ditto to you low life theone 1, you are beyond redemption to brag what you would do sexually to the dead mother of a poster here…
I hope your throat is just big enough for my fist
JakeDog his moms not dead SHE WAS JUsT AT MY HOUSE CLIMBING MY POLE!!!!!’ LMAO! Then Marcus Knocked that off!
The uneducated have spoken fellas .. Leave it alone
You should see your posts before you open your Meth filled mouth
Hey skayne, unreal, ts would you like to weigh in on one of your fellow Vickpologists…
Don’t blame us, you Vick haters bring out the worst in people. Arguing with Vick haters is exasperating. Nobody on this team gets noticed for anything until Vick isn’t in, then the excuses for the bad play of Foles or Barkley come fast and furious.
They can’t argue, because they have no facts to argue. They retreat to common threats and pathetic , grade school level insults. When you have a 2nd grade education and no ability to relate the most simple, logical concept, you resort to name calling and UPPER CASE LETTERS. Real debate takes two relatively equal intellects, and with too many of these Vick-Trolls, they can only take up a lot of space, but no real point or argument. They are a waste of time to even read.
no one defended foles play…no one– he played like shit and it was all over this site from ‘vick haters’– and by the way i was president of vicks fan club for almost a week…
The vermin have invaded this blog
Thanks for leading the way! Cunts like you ruin things. You think that people don’t see your comments? Hate. Everytime. So shut the FUCK UP and take your medicine.
I invite any of them to any security clearance in Pennsylvania, then we can talk out our differences, or maybe not
1. Most consecutive games with 40 or more points by a rookie – 5
2. Most points in a NBA Finals – 5-game series – 178
3. Most consecutive seasons leading league in steals – 3
4. 30+ points 345 times, including 40+ 79 times and 50 or more 11 times, high of 60
5. Only player in NBA history to twice lead the league in minutes per game for three straight seasons (seven seasons overall)
6. The shortest player to ever win a scoring title and he did four times!
7. He’s sixth on the all-time scoring.
He’s the reason why all your favorite ballers have tattoos or have cornrows. David Stern hated him and A.I. knew it. He suggested the NBA’s dress code was racist and I think that’s why he is out of the league… He was more than a basketball player and could still drop 20 points a night for any team right now. Pound for pound… the best ever.
oh wrong site…..sorry nick not vick
Kelly SCREWED the pooch this year by re-signing Vick.
1. He could have drafted his guy this year at 4 or moved back.
2. He Could Have just gone with Foles and Barkley and Trent Edwards (all the same style) And ran an offense that suited them.
BY choosing Vick he CUT OFF NICK FOLES BALLS…. Dude showed up to Training Camp with the look and talk of a guy that wanted to be the guy. Then in what really appeared to be a TIE of a competition Kelly backed the old broken down mare and stabled his stud.
Foles is a back up because he was sold as a back up.
Kelly also failed to Replace Maclin and Benn leaving us woefully thin at WR. A training camp trade needed to happen.
LMAO!!! Folds got his ass kicked. WTF are you talking about? We all (maybe not you fairweather pussy) watched the QB comp.
Foles LOST. And even people on this filth filled site said the same thing, which is why I’m even on here.
G.COBB even said that Vick DESERVES to be the the starter..then PRAISED HIM and said why the RO would not work with MB and Folds. And he was right about that.
You wanna talk shit? Be prepared to get shit because your hate for Vick is PERSONAL. It’s a team game and AR left some spoiled groceries and went to the penthouse of talent on defense at KC. Andy was on his way to getting Fired when Vick saved his job in 2010…and you was on Vick’s dick. Yep you was and be a man and admit the you was on the bandwagon.
Shits like you invite the filth on this site, which I never comment until I saw this BULLSHIT ARTICLE. Good content at times, but pussies like you ruining the site..and I see you comments all the time, so you know that I never comment on this POS site.
Vick will be back and get ready
AR went to the 2-14 penthouse?really?? and meanwhile kelly inherited the talent rich eagles (vick, mccoy and jackson)– looks like the joke is on us.. our thuglife a.holes have zero character and turn on each other when the chips are down… vick won’t get a shot at being a starter again..
Vick will be back and get ready
Maybe for a game or two, but his career as a starting quarterback in the NFL is over after this season. What team wants a 34 year-old quarterback who misses 4 weeks to a non-contact injury… together with the contact injuries he suffers every year..
I wouldn’t count on seeing too much more of the read-option offense after this year either. Look for more up-tempo spread offense like the Broncos play.
i think they will keshawn him!
All I can say is wow! This site has gone to the dogs. WTF fellas? Classless, clueless ignorant, low life’s. I can guarantee you, that if you keyboard gangstas weren’t hiding behind a keyboard, you’d get your @$$e$ wooped, OG hood style. WTF, is wrong with you guys. Can’t agree on sports topics, so you revert to Mom jokes! Come on!
Use a first round pick n a QB, but not on Johnny Manziel (Vick Jr.) I’m not convinced that after one bad game that Foles is a defacto back-up. I suspect he’ll play out the rest of the season and that’s a good thing in terms of finding out realistically whether he’s a starter or not.
Butch, I agree. Hell no to Johnny football. Small, & is a couple sandwiches short of a picnic. No thanks. Bridgewater, Mariota, Hundley, Carr, McCarron. That’s my order of QB’s I like to see here.
I am looking at 2 QB’s that should be available earky in 2nd Round
Drerek Carr – Fresno State 6-4 225lbs
Sean Mannion -Oregon State 6-5 230lbs
Eagles need to grab OT with Their First Pick
There’s about 5 OT’s who can step in play their Rookie Season
(Matthews from Texas A&M
Lewan from Michigan
Kid from Alabama
Kid from Florida State)
stop looking at QB’s. There is no reason to waste a pick on QB unless it’s Mariota or Bridgewater. Everyone else is Josh Freemen
agree to a point. I think Manziel would flourish in Chip’s offense. Bridgewater, Mariota or Manziel would fit. The other QBs are not worth a first round pick.
KID FROM OREGON SHOULD KNOW THE TYPE OF OFFEN
Ok, Foles- your up this week.
We are behind you…. lets hope last time was just because of the head shot.
The eagles need to use crossing routes early to get their WR’s in space and get the box unstacked.
Foles is not a franchise QB. He is a career backup. He buckles under a pass rush and is slow at reading defenses. Yes, he has a quick release, but if that #1 target isnt open, he takes a while to scan the field. He was the same at Arizona and now in the NFL.
You root for him because he is likable, but lets be real. You are not going to win any playoff games with him.
Jeffrey Lurie, the Eagles’ longtime chairman, is still supportive of his first-year coach’s decision to go ahead with the 33-year-old Vick, But he also believes the team’s top priority going forward is finding the next young franchise quarterback to pair with Kelly, the way Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb came together during the most successful decade in franchise history.
Vick will play NOW! We will find a franchise QB down the line.
What a dumb ass you are Theone1…. Just leave out the parts you don’t like…..Did you read Lurie’s actual comments? Not the writers….
“We need someone to step up, whether it’s an existing young quarterback or somebody we go out and acquire,” Lurie said in an exclusive interview with CSNPhilly.com. “We know — this is no secret — quarterback is the [ultimate] position and the most important difference-maker.”
We want to have very healthy, high ability at that position, with excellent leadership and a lot of smarts and a lot of moxie. Someone that really can take that position and run with it,” Lurie said. “And so Nick is going to have a great opportunity to showcase what he’s done. He’s had some outstanding games and he’s had one poor game.
Yeah that quote basically means that Vick is done here. He is stating this is Nick’s Job to win or we are moving on from Him also. I do believe he said he supported Chips decision to start Vick at the beginning of the season. So if Foles doesn’t do well Look for Barkley to 4-5 games to show what he has.
I disagree 100%, Vick is at the end of the line
Eagles will play Foles/Barkley over tge remainder of the Season for 2 Reasons
1) to find out about both of them
2) to develop “Trade Value”
Kelly will still his type of QB to be successful in the NFL
But it ever hurts to develop QB who can bring back Draft picks in a Trade down the line (Coach AR was a master of doing this)
Wrong. Vick is injured now, and will not be playing regardless of your use of capital letters. He will be out probably 2-4 weeks. These are facts. Now for my opinion- I don’t think her ever plays for the eagles again. Coach needs to evaluate to see who stays and who leaves, whether it is the QB or any other position. That is why Sopoanga was traded. Coaches liked the young guys behind him-done. Vick is not part of Kelly’s teams’ future and that is why he will be allowed to walk at the end of the season. In fact, I see a lot of veterans leaving at the end of the season, not just Vick.
I think the NFL will Create a Position for Mike Vick and who will act as a “Liason” between the Younger Players and the League.. kind of be that Mentor to Young Players that maybe had had a checkered past or some off-the-field issues …
A Win-Win for the NFL and for Vick as his Story does resonate with a many of the young players in the NFL
kind of the gangsta version of cris carter, herm edwards and tuny dungee
Real classy cigar
sorry lion i was just pointing out the obvious difference between him and the three guys (that I know of) that already address the rookies — trying to put a humorous spin on some of the real vile, putrid, uneducated BS thats been on here…. sometimes attempts at humor fall short!
He has to get Nick Foles and the rest of his team ready to play the Raiders on Sunday in Oakland. What sense does it make for Kelly to worry about which quarterback might be available in next year’s draft when he hasn’t even been sure in recent weeks which quarterback he’d have available in the second quarter or second half?
We think about the big picture. We think about what might happen if the Eagles get to seven wins and all the really good quarterback prospects are gone by the time they make their draft pick. You may assume that Foles isn’t the quarterback of the future for the Eagles. Kelly knows only fools assume such things. His focus is narrowed not to Sunday’s game, but to Thursday’s practice.
That’s not our mentality. Our mentality is, ‘Who are we playing right now?’ And I think it’s a disservice to those other players on our team and it’s a disservice to our fans if I’m thinking about who our quarterback is going to be next year.”
A different approach was launched Wednesday when the 76ers opened their season against the Miami Heat. The Sixers have willingly admitted difficult days lie ahead, and they are pinning their hope for the future on a prized lottery pick. Football is not basketball. One player, not even a quarterback, can turn around an entire franchise.
San Francisco and Seattle did not become Super Bowl contenders because they drafted franchise quarterbacks. They became Super Bowl contenders because they have two of the best defensive teams in the NFL and they selected quarterbacks who have evolved into solid starters.
Solid posts theone 1
Talking to yourself is a sure sign of mental illness. I would suspect Bi-Polar, but just general dilusional personality disorder would fit too.
Actually, Been taking your Moms manic depressant meds feeling a lil loopy LMAO Shudddafuckup!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really isn’t difficult to see where your problems lie Theone1. You have obviously had a difficult upbringing, with the lack of a mother being around (because of her employment on the corner) causing you to lash out at my deceased mother. I get it, you have a low self esteem and thus you are actually Thepatheticone1.
But when your lack of education becomes apparent when trying to form the most simple of argument, you then become Theangryone1. The rage from your inability to communicate or comprehend the arguments of others leads you to an uncontrollable rage.
Your use of CAPITAL LETTERS is an example that you are unable to get your point across, which is when you than are known as Thefrustratedone1. Your frustration is also shown in your inane comments that are completed unrelated to any topic of discussion, but only focused on your hero, MV.
MV is everything to you, and anyone who would utter the most benign (that means relatively weak, I know that you have trouble with two syllable words, so I wanted to help you) criticism of your hero will face your profane wrath. That is when you become Thethugone1.
And ultimately you are left with facing the reality that you hero will someday no longer be playing, and your life will be empty. You are sure to show aggression towards anyone you meet, because you are under the delusion that your opinion matters to ANYONE, but in truth it does not. You will remain unemployed and walking the streets acting tough, when in truth you are a scared pathetic subhuman who is longing for the love of a mother who left you for the pipe and a “John” many years ago. This is when you become Thecrazyone1. As you can see from above, you have many personalities. The drugs that you are taking to escape your ruin of a life are probably not doing the trick, so you may want to take some advise and seek professional help.
whats easy to see…is that you only chime in to those that defend Vick…which makes you no different than the rest of those that blame Vick for everything…I don’t think I seen you say anything to them once in regards to their irrational thoughts…only those that support Vick must think irrationally….you guys are see through…transparent ass cats..
With that said BlackFan I am once again TEA BAGGING YOUR MOMS!!!!!!!! get it…….get it………. LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quality stuff there Thedimwittedone1, good use of the capital letters and exclamation points (did you even know what those were called?).
I am sure that you will have more excellent points to make, in between your hits at the pipe. Keep them coming, GCobb must be very proud to have you as a subscriber.
Your Mothers swim suit eddition next. Bored man, Any football today BlackFan…. Or are you strictly in your fan bag this afternoon in between your job searches.
No Realjoke777, I have come to the realization that there are Vick-Trolls on this site who have lead me to become so annoyed with the blind loyalty that they display, that I call it out. You only pay attention to some of my posts. I have defended Vick when he was named QB in 2011 after his 6 good games in 2010. I have tried and point out that he gave us the best chance to win, that he has often been a strong leader in the locker room, like in the Giants game in 2011 leading the team back into the game, or before this season when he exhibited leadership in the Cooper saga, but you choose not to see those posts. I have commented on the way that he set an example for many with the way that he turned his life around after his time in prison, but you ignore those posts. You and the other Vick disciples are so concerned with the smallest criticism of his game, or God forbid, a positive comment about another QB, that you all attack with an irrational fury and frankly mostly unreadable comments that it causes me to address the ridiculousness of the comments. I have commented against Vinnie on this board, but frankly just as you, or Songs, Skyne, Thepatheticone1 and others become unreadable, so does he. I barely make it though a few sentences of stats and my eyes glaze over.
No RealJoke777, my focus is not only on “certain” posters, it is against the obvious Vick-Trolls who are only on this site as long as MV is on the Eagles. Once he is finished playing they will move onto their next “favorite” player, in whatever town he is in, because they are obviously not fans of the Eagles, but of a single player on the Eagles.
@ RealTalk777, Uh, I say we leave Hanibal to his own devices. Talking about his mother has obviously made him snap. LMAO!!!!!!!
whatever you say Greenbooger!
like I wasted my time reading your bullshit post word for word…I know what you are and you’re a bitch! since you like calling names…you like to play the fence, so no one can attack you…you like to make generic statements and shit…but normally try to get people to see a different point of view when the defend vick….The only joke is you….Realtalk calls it as he sees it…the only joke is how upset you got because I spoke the truth..
fuck you and anybody like you!
You guys are really full of responses today.
@Theilliterateone1…..for your information, I only had one mother. You are constantly referring to what you are doing with my moms….I assume that you have a group of crack whores doing you, because I only had one mom.
@RealJoke777…why don’t you stick with your New York teams, you obviously don’t know shit about Philly.
Well actually I thought your mother was a recovering crack whore. Lol, least that what she said after taking her teeth out an blowing me…….
ha…what the f does any of my comments have to do with Philly? and what does me being a Knicks and Mets fan have to do with me being a fan of the Eagles? Nothing that’s what, just lash out towards ones fan hood cuz you aint got shit else to say!
No you dope, it illustrates that you were never an Eagles fan but merely a Vick fan. Knicks….Mets…? and then the Eagles?
Let’s get to your education level…remember Sesame Street??
Sure you do….let’s play “Which one doesn’t belong.”
Mets fan…..Knicks fan….Eagles fan? scratch that…..Vick fan….now that makes more sense.
See RealJoke777…that is what the comment was in reference to. Glad I could help you with your comprehension.
Considering I was an Eagles fan long before Vick got here, makes your comment “moot”…you don’t know me, bitch so don’t assume shit! its a good try though…I guess I can’t be an Eagles fan unless I state the reason for the Eagles failures is because of Vick…….I have a right to root for any team I like! again questioning my fan hood because I support Vick…how many times have I stated that I’m gonna be here when Vick is long gone?
still doesn’t hide your bitchassness…scared little man…with all your generic comments, toward those that support Vick, basically defending the Vick bashers, just in a little less visible way…you’re a clown, a half a man…if you don’t like Vick then just come right out and say it…don’t pussy foot around it….like I said only time you got some shit to say is to those that defend Vick from the unfair attacks he receives on here on the daily…again, fuck you and anybody like you!
By the way. basketball is my favorite sport…I’m a basketball fan, but the Knicks are my team…I guarantee I know more about Philly basketball history than you do….I’m not a 76ers fan, but know more about your team than you do!
OK RealJoke777, here is where I stand, so you don’t have to be making any guesses on my opinion.
I have very little problem with Mike Vick. He is an NFL player trying to make a living. I have a dog, but don’t have any hangup on his dog-fighting issues. I don’t really get that whole world, and believe that he was probably punished more than most dog-fighters becuase he was a famous athelete. I respect the way that he handled his prison time, and what he has done to turn things around in his life after he was released.
As a player I was always impressed with his play at VT, and the highlights he produced at ATL. After he was taken by the Eagles, I looked closer at his career, and listened to his comments about his days in ATL, and his lack of preparation and study. I believed what he said here, about working with Reid and MM, and learning to play QB again. Unfortunately, we have not had any level of success with MV as our QB in Philly. Whether or not it is his fault, I would believe a combination of injuries, poor offensive schemes and team play, the team has not seen any level of success under Vick as QB.
That being said, I think Vick has good leadership skills, and has had to use them at different stages with the Eagles. I would like to see him be more of a mentor with the younger QB’s during games he is injured, but that does not appear to be his style. Ultimately I appreciate Mike Vick as a player, and as an Eagle.
What I HATE are Mike Vick rabid and dillusional fans.
I HATE the Vick-Trolls who will take any comment on the team and move it towards Vick.
I HATE the Vick-Trolls who inhabit this site and show day in and day out that they care nothing about the success of the team as long as the spotlight shines brightly on their HERO.
I HATE these Vickfans who will gloat on this site after an Eagles loss because their hero was injured and take the opportunity bash other Eagles players.
I HATE these Vick-lovers who are incapable to admit that as much as they love this man, he has a long history of being injured, and whether it is due to his style of play (that warrior mentality) or his small stature (by NFL standards only) he is unreliable as a starter in this league because it is a lock that he will miss some games during the year.
I HATE these Vickfans that will turn every discussion of the team into a racial argument, when race has nothing to do with any of the opinions. When stating historical statistics about a players performance is viewed as lacking credability because it doesn’t adhere to the legend of #7.
So there it is RealJoke777. I have little doubt that you and Thepatheticone1 will continue with he fasinating “yo momma” jokes, but this is what this site has become. There appear to be two distinct types of posters on this site. It was not always this way, and my hope is that at some point it will get away from the player worship and back to the support of the team, but until than, I will comment as I see fit, and any threats from you or others will not change that fact.
I don’t recall saying a word in regards to your momma…can you read?
Relly tired of kicking your ass BlackFan..
Its funny to me the silly fights on here….
@Stevo-It certainly makes the day go by faster.. lol.
BTW- Good Article as always G.Cobb, Ignore the haters..lol.
Theone1 is that your age or IQ you should be more careful when having your period I can see it drives your crazy bitch ass out of your mind
Is that you BlackFan? Kicking alias? Ok man you win….. That’s sad. On to the next post Real he’s lost it.
The comment section on this post might be the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever read on a website
I agree with you Pheags,
How GCobb allows this garbage on here is beyond me ..We should all complain to G-Man and maybe he would be moved to do something about it ..
Funny Mancini. I have seen you post some pretty strange stuff. The guys writes stuff on my mother and I just let it go? Pretty hypocritical post Paul.
Pheags……. Paul…….. He obviously has a problem with everyone…. Let it go.
I guess you are too stupid to know they were talking to you.
Shouldn’t you be out robbing kids of their candy about now?
Oh I see when people make irrational and racial statements about Vick and hide behind code words its cool, but when others get tired of it and call people out then they are the problem. Cool I get it.
BigL…true indeed, true indeed!
Sheone1 are you still out trying to find a date at the bus station
Green, tell these guys where to go and be done with them, do not engage them any longer, once Vick is gone they will be gone, peace to you about the loss of your mom, I buried mine at a young age, so I get your reaction, but you are dealing with the bottom of society let it go my man
