Breaking: Eagles sign Michael Vick to 2 year deal

This new is just breaking as we speak. Michael Vick's agent has confirmed to ESPN that the QB has signed a two year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sal Paolantonio called into ESPN news and says that half the crowd at the Linc has abandoned their seats and taken to the concourse just to talk about the signing and get what news they can. He said he's never seen anything like it. Sal speculated that Kevin Kolb's injury could be worse than originally though, but he stressed that that's pure speculation.
Vick's agent has confirmed that Vick is in Philadelphia right now and will meet the media tomorrow.
I understand that this is a big story that is going to generate a lot of passionate response. I welcome all views, but I simply ask you to please be mature about it.
[Note by JasonB, 08/13/09 9:12 PM EDT ] Contract details have leaked
Vick will earn $1.6 million this year with a $5.2 million option for next year. It seems to me that he's a cheap insurance policy for this year and likely gone next year. I don't see the Eagles keeping him around for $5 million next year.
[Note by JasonB, 08/13/09 9:29 PM EDT ] More details...
ESPN is reporting that Vick arrived in Philadelphia on Tuesday and was here all day Wednesday. He will be allowed to participate in all team practices and activities and will be allowed to play in the team's two final preseason games. After that he will start to serve his suspension
The Eagles started negotiations about a week and half ago, before Kolb went down with an MCL sprain. Sal Paolantonio quoted a senior Eagles official who said
"Andy Reid has a specific visions for Mike Vick in the offense, we're not just signing him to sit on the bench."
Tony Dungy will be beside Vick when he meets the Philly media tomorrow morning.
[Note by JasonB, 08/13/09 9:37 PM EDT ] Over the past few days the Eagles have reportedly started to do community outreach in anticipation of the Vick signing. They've reached out to local animal rights groups and shelters as well as talked with Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter before signing Vick.
[Note by JasonB, 08/13/09 10:12 PM EDT ] More on Vick's suspension. Roger Goodell has said that the latest he will decide whether to re-instate is week 6 of the regular season. There is no minimum for the suspension. If Goodell is satisfied with what he hears from Vick, Reid, Dungy ect... He could allow Vick back in week one. He could also decide to not re-instate Vick if he doesn't like what he hears.

Couldnt agree more. He deserves another shot in the NFL, but hes simply a bad QB. He cant throw, so unless we use him as a WR or RB, this is an awful signing.

hunters
plenty of nfl players hunt. they sell meat at the supermarket. it’s not 1754. why is dog fighting worse than hunting when u don’t need meat? gimme break.
That is just stupid. I hunt. I can’t get deer meat in the supermarket. On top of that the animals being hunted have a sporting chance to get away. We don’t lock two deer into a small chamber to watch them fight each other for the “sport” of it. Just because you are too nearsighted to understand the difference dosen’t mean you should post such an ignorant view. Equating what I do by sitting in a tree for hours with a bow and taking the life of an animal that I am gonna eat vs. someone betting on two domesticated animals ripping each other apart are hardly the same.

hmm
I think you can get deer at Whole Foods? And anyway there is wildlife control. I guess I just couldnt kill a deer, call me a pussy if you will, and that was clouding my judgement. If you want to sit in a tree for hours for the chance to kill Bambi, knock yourself out.
Your right, PUSSY.

This guy is crazy^^^
How can you say that he shouldnt be banned for life.
Its like I always said. If I am convicted of a crime I will lose a job that pays me 38,000 a year, but he was convicted of a felony and still gets to make Millions. I dont get it to be quite honest with you. Just think about it. He is a convicted felon and he is allowed to play something that he loves to play and get paid for it. What does that say to the kids growing and looking up to NFL players as role models. “Hey I can be like Vick, do crime and still get paid millions.”
I know the argument will be, “People change” bull he knew what he was doing was wrong and believed that since his name was Michael Vick that he would be able to do what he wanted to do.
And I am a crazy die hard Eagles fan but this just has me dumbfounded
You’ll lose your job, yeah, probably. Vick lost his.
But, you’re also not going to be banned from ever working in your profession again. Once you get out of jail, if someone wants to hire you, nobody’s going to stop them.
Obviously you have no kids..
As a parent AND a faithful Eagles fan, I would hope that you’d see how important for our players to be good role models for our kids. How many years at Leavenworth would it take for YOU to reconsider supporting him? He’s a felon. He’s a poor representation of the Eagles values and the Eagle’s fan’s good nature. I vote to get rid of him.

I have kids
and if one of them made a mistake, I would be pleased to see him or her get a second chance.
I most certainly wouldn’t label him or her for life as a lost cause/thug/whatever. I can understand not wanting to root for him, not wanting to see him regain his previous status in life, but understand that there ARE people who believe in second chances (and third chances), and not just for athletes … and that doesn’t make THEM bad people either. Maybe just a little too trusting about human nature.

Mike Vick is a human being
You know all this talk about M Vick is crazy. You know when someone is convicted of a crime they go to jail and they serve there time. The only thing is M Vick is a celebrity. I agree with you that people would hope that a judge and society would give their kids a second chance. Isn’t that what religion is all based on? God forgives and forgets. I just think people are going overboard with this. Would people be reacting this way if this man was white. I heard a sports announcer say he was shocked about the signing. You know. People need to realize that life goes on. All these people who are mad about Mr. Vick’s dog fighting issues need to get a life. There are millions of people around the world starving to death. What about helping to feed the hungry? Save a human life. I like animals but do we as humans value a human life over a dog? Come on please let’s put this in perspective.

Me too
I have been a fan since 1976. This disgusts me and Andy Reid clearly deserves to have the family problems that he has. There are very few things less important to me than an Eagles SB. I have always been proud that Andy supposedly only brought on high character guys. It was obviously a lie on his part. He may have paid his debt to society based on the law but he certainly cannot be perceived as a decent human being.
Throw out the moral argument that I know most of you disagree with, how does he even help this team? Does he play RT? LDE? Tight end?
Good bye Bleeding Green. It’s been great being a part of this but I refuse to do it now, no matter how hard it is.
So what's the line for you?
What do you think is “acceptable” and what do you think should cause a player never to get a second chance?
If serious, you’re not, and you never were, a real fan. Period.
Second chances
I believe in second chances – but shouldn’t he pay his dues and do something worthwhile for society for a few years? Give him 10 years of community service and then consider him as a role model for our kids. To hand this man $1.5 dollars after he behaved like an animal is a ridiculous decision by all involved. I am going to have a hard time respecting the Eagle’s admin at this point. If anyone knows how the players feel about it, please do let me know..
by melvinthecat on Aug 13, 2009 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions
My line might be different but we all have one
I laugh at all the bashing I have gotten because of how much I disagree with this move. Eagles fans bashing other Eagles fans, saying I am not a real fan, etc. Hilarious. I can bet I have shown more loyalty towards this team than most on this site. Especially the ones ripping on me who I have never even seen a post from before.
I would guess everyone has that “line.” If he raped and killed your daughter would you want him to have a second chance? I understand that is the ultimate extreme and far worse than what Vick did but it is just said to make a point. I think we all have some point where we would say this is not the right thing to do, no matter how loyal we are. And if we feel strong enough about that point (see the daughter analogy), then you feel you have to take a stand, no matter how hard it is. So to say I was never a “real fan” is “retarted.”
As to the arguments about Donte, Ray Lewis, Little, who said I wanted them on my team either? I sure didn’t. That does not even get into the intent issue which everyone sweeps over out of desperation for wanting to feel that because the Eagles did this, it is ok. If Rae Carruth was free and available, of course I’d be 100x more pissed if the Eagles signed him.
As to showing the support of the other 52 players, this was never about the players for me. This is about what the organization did and what it clearly stands for. I am not anti everyone who disagrees with me. I am not a PETA supporter. I am not anti McNabb. I AM anti the people who made this decision and it disturbs me to no end. And I am not even saying I want Vick to continue to be crucified. The media exposure over this was absurd. That does not mean I want him on my team, nor do I want my kids to see me cheering for a team that says, “Hey, what you did was ok, as long as you say, ‘Oops, my bad.’ Here’s a few million…”
And again, getting back to football, I don’t see him as the missing link. We don’t even have a starting caliber tackle at the moment, we have one tight end who was signed last week because no one else wanted him, and we have a kicker who cannot make a field goal past 40 yards. He does not solve those problems and I don’t see him making a big difference for this offense. Is that worth all this?
Honestly, what I hate the most is that this has been something very important to me for my entire life. I will admit that I won’t be able to stop watching. It is part of my DNA. I will want the team to win, despite my earlier comments. But I won’t do it with the same passion I have always had. And I refuse to financially support the Eagles while he remains on the roster.
FYI
You’ve rooted for many wife beaters, druggies, alcohol abusers and PED-taking NFL players before this. Sorry to bring that to light.
Wow, that is intelligent.
Great argument. I am convinced of the error of my ways now, genius.

I went to get some beer and I realized that Laurie’s wife – you know the champion of the Go Green program – probably wouldn’t like this too much unless there are some major reassurances.
Perhaps Vick’ll hook up with Gocong and help out at the animal shelter…
I still am cancelling my yearly Eagles merch until further notice, but I just can’t bring myself to root for the Broncos…

Sorry to repeat what I posted below, but I think you’re one of the best posters on this board, Cavorting, and I don’t mean to call you out but I hope once the shock wears off you’ll reconsider.
Vick did a horrible thing, and you may consider this move to be horrible on many levels, but don’t take that out on Westbrook, McNabb, Jackson, Akers, or any of the fine upstanding citizens on this team that you’ve rooted for many years.
The team is bigger than Mike Vick.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

I’m as confused as everyone, but I’m frankly amazed that the team had the stones to make the move.

Especuially after the TO fiasco and benching from distractions to sign someone so hated justseems odd.

why do this in the middle of a game though?
What the heck kind of strategy was that? The whole team is going to get blasted by a media shitstorm after the game is over and be completely blindsided? None of this makes any sense what so ever. Also, the guys a scum bag (Vick) your lifestyle is your deathstyle and this guy is and has been a lying, thuggish, scumbag since day 1. I’ve never liked the guy or how he’s carried himself on and off the field ever since he came into the league. I hate him even more since the whole dog killing, ring leader of an dog slaughtering underground sports betting ring thing occured. And now I got to watch this piece of shit put on an Eagles Jersey. The one thing I respect more than Ol’ Glory!? It’s almost to much to freaking bear! What does this guy have to offer us in return for his ingloryious return to the NFL!? Not much. Not freaking much. I cant’ believe that after the horrible preseason we’ve had and all the injuries and distractions that we’ve already sustained and endured that the FO would even consider this guy as a posible option to bring into the locker room. Tony Dungy must be the slickest mother fucker ever to sell AR and Banner and Lurie on this complete pile of human excriment.
Ok, sorry about that guys, I feel better. Had to get that off my chest. Thanks.
Hope the game is going well. I have to wait to see the replay on NFL network. Going to the liquor store first, got to get something to take the sting off of this one. Jeez.
Loooooook here brotha'.....who you jivein' with that Cosmic Debris!!!???
About the news being released during the game...
Everything I read says that Vick’s agent released the details. Maybe the Eagles did not predict it would come right now.
Vick's agent released the info
Eagles were hoping the news could wait til the post-game or tomorrow morning probably.
Do you think it will be awkward
if the players have a BBQ and they let their dogs run loose. Do you think they’ll do a double take in Vick’s direction?

Not to start an argument/debate
But there is a difference between dog-fighting and maliciously killing dogs and what Donte did. And I am NOT defending Donte either.
Plus this is a Vick thread.
I'll say...
That I was a big fan of Vick before the whole dog fighting scheme. I am a big person on forgiving people because I work at an alternative school full of kids who half have done jail time for a myriad of things. I am really excited to see Vick being picked up by the Eagles. I think he deserves this chance and I’m glad my team gave it to him!
It is surprising
how many people apparently don’t believe in second chances, although I bet that number grows when people get behind a computer screen.
I guess it’s easy to say you believe in redemption when it wasn’t your dog/family member that got hurt/killed, but it’s just as easy to say you don’t believe in it, that this guy is evil forever and incapable of change.
This might sound stupid, but sometimes I think people on their second chances are more trustworthy than some of us on our first. They know the stakes and what they have to lose.
Safest place for a dog right now is near Mike Vick. Dude won’t even look at one funny.

Brings alot of dept to a weak back up qb cast
Question from 3k from TST
Hey, Eagles fans. I write over at TurfShowTimes, the SBN blog for the Rams.
I was as shocked as yall seem to be that Vick signed with you guys, especially after drafting McCoy & Maclin.
What the hell are you going to do with him? Backup QB?
Your uncle molests collies.
Over Maclin?
Why sign Vick just to implement the ’Cat if you just drafted the Mac?

Your uncle molests collies.
by 3k on Aug 13, 2009 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions
My guess is...
maybe Kolb’s injury is a bit more serious than was reported. Maybe he is back up insurance. Or, I know it’s a hefty price, but maybe he was signed to keep him out of the camp of opposing teams… ie the Redskins (D Snyder loves grabbing headlines more than he loves winning).
I’m not sure … I’m still in shock.
First off, we already run the Wildcat
with DeSean Jackson, as opposed to Maclin.
Second, DJax threw an ugly INT in the end zone to then-Brown Sean Jones last year, so I think we see the value of having an actual quarterback run the Wildcat.
Plus we’re obsessed with speed, and in theory Maclin is on the field along with DJax, Westbrook and Kevin Curtis when we run this package. YOU match up with that.
I believe the Birds said they didn’t “bring him on to ride the bench.” And for the PR hit they are going to take, they’d better get a return on this buy-low investment.

I think he also joins the backup QB mix
for the second half of this season.
The back end of the contract makes next year interesting.

Once the CBS interview airs on Sunday
Which is going to include Wayne Pacelle, the head of the Humane Society, talking about Vick getting a second chance and what he’s already doing to help that organization stamp out dogfighting, I think a lot of the protests, etc. die down.
That would be nice
It could also make PETA disown the Humane Society. Would not put it past them.

I despise this move.
Not only do I think Vick is reprehensible, I think that bringing a shitstorm of controversy and negativity to an already very turbulent offseason is the last thing this team needed.
I’ll always be an Eagles fan, and there enough guys on this team that I’ve rooted for for too long to turn my back on them because of one turd, but this season just much less fun.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
I really think the media storm dies out soon
Over the last few weeks/months since he got out of jail, most people have come over to the “he deserves a second chance” line. If he’s truly remorseful, which it seems like he is, and he’s truly working to stop this kind of thing from being done by other people, which it seems like he is, he’ll play. If not, he’s not getting reinstated by Goodell.

Remorse
The guy has Goodell and Dungy and even the national president of the Humane Society in his corner. I think he will be remoseful and I think he is going to do everything he can to prove himself because he knows that this is his only chance.

I think jail
has a funny way of bringing the remorse out.
Money or no money, he’s had about two years to think about how badly he effed up the perfect life, and he’s had to in that time come to the conclusion that a) he was really in the wrong and b) he really took everything for granted before and can’t afford to do it again.
But maybe that’s just how I’d be

I completely agree with you. He’s a bastard who tortured dogs for fun. I don’t care if he paid his duty to society or whatever, that doesn’t make him a better person. Seeing him in Eagles green is going to make me want to claw out my eyes. But I will support the team nonetheless. Just not him, because he’s a horrid person. I’m just hoping that McNabb’s bipolar playing tends toward the good this season, so Vick won’t be needed. Emphasis on the hope.
True fan
I’ll always be an Eagles fan, and there enough guys on this team that I’ve rooted for for too long to turn my back on them because of one turd,
No matter how you feel about Vick, you can’t completely disown the rest of the Eagles if you really loved them.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
I wonder why?
Seriously. Did Kolb look that unimpressive in camp or are they that worried about his injury? Has Andy had his fill of A J Feeley? Or, does he keep Weaver and Kyle Eckel as fullbacks, Westbrook and McCoy as RB’s, and use Vick as an extra RB/QB/Wildcat specialist?
Ok, who’s going to be the first to get a Vick jersey?

RB/WR/QB/Wildcat
Think of this. McNabb, Westy, Desean and Vick all on the field for a play. That’s absolute mayhem. Who do you cover? Anyone of them (assuming the talent is still there in Vick) can take it to the house. Maybe have Vick as a WR, have both him and Desean come back for a double reverse. I’m getting giddy with all the possibilities that Vick (stigma asside) brings to this team.

And he is a great athlete who is incredibly versatile. He’s going to be our #3 QB but can be a WR or RB, put him in the wildcat. Maybe a double reverse with him and desean. Lots of possibilities. Don’t look at it as a QB depth signing, look at it as an all around weapon signing.

McNabb had some input in this decision…it may have even been his idea. He has always supported Vick when people said he couldn’t a QB in the league.
I’m not going to ever say I’m a fan of his off the field but this team VERY RARELY makes moves that don’t work. I trust that and will root for him as long as he’s lining up in green and white.

So they sign a guy . . .
Who wont play until the second half of the season, if at all, just for the possibility that he’ll play maybe 1 down every game.
And that’s enough to justify this? Really?
He's going to do more than that
And he may play sooner than week 6. Goodell said he would make his final decision BEFORE week 6, not AT week six. Most analysts agree that Goodell will probably fully reinstate him sooner than week 6. Also he’s been in jail for two years, do you know what you have to do all day in jail? Workout. I bet he’s in good shape and will be ready to go pretty soon, plus he used to play in a west coast offense.
He’s going to be in more than 1 down a game. He is going to be in a lot because he is a playmaker, QB/RB/WR put him in wildcat formations, he can do a lot for this team.

So, for those of you who wonder about remorse, that’s going to be your proof.

McNabb had suggested before that he thought Vick deserved another chance. I’m sure he knows that Vick isn’t on the team to compete for a starting QB job. First off, the offense Philly runs opposed to what Atlanta ran with Vick is way more technical. No way could Vick come in and take McNabb’s spot from him. My guess is Kolb is more hurt than they reported.
As a Cowboys fan (and former Vick fan), I can’t wait to watch some Eagles games this year. Must see TV.

What do you have against vegetables? I bet you kill more vegetables than I kill animals.
What, are we not supposed to eat anything? Vegetarians are stupid. This isn’t an opinion, this is a fact. I’ve never met a smart vegetarian who could actually justify it.
I am the people's troll :3™
Yeah, it’s called the fucking food chain. It’s called nature. You have to eat something, so unless you’re developing a synthetic paste that supplies you with nutrition, you’re a bit hypocritical. What’s the difference between killing animals and vegetables? Vegetables and fungus? Fungus and bacteria?
Quit being arbitrarily stupid. Humans eat plants and animals. Not eating animals because they move and look cute is stupid.
I am the people's troll :3™
Btw, I resent being called stupid. Its a lifestyle choice, just like yours is with eating meat. I enjoy it regardless of the lack of foods out there and live healthier because of it.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
well, i mean I run less risk of certain illnesses and ailments. And statistics have shown that it adds a couple years onto ones life.
let me clarify a little. I also don’t have oily foods, salty ones, etc. My dad had a heart problem for many years and I was raised to eat in a healthy diet way. I guess its more of the way I eat, as opposed to what I eat.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
Statistics may show a correlation of a longer average lifespan but that doesn’t prove it’s because you don’t eat meat. I’d wager it’s because you watch what you eat more than the average person. You’re taking the average lifespan of vegans versus the average lifespan of non-vegans, there’s a ton of people in that mix that live off McDonald’s. You don’t need a clinical study to prove that someone who watches everything they eat will live longer than the average slob.
I am the people's troll :3™
true story. and that’s a problem with statistics, I agree. But considering there is a limited variety of things Vegetarians can eat, and assuming that one doesnt just eat sweets, don’t you think one would be “watching what they eat” if they were vegetarian?
Btw, I hope this is discussion, not argument. I honestly have no qualm about it.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
michael vic
it’s true what you say about chickens, cows, pigs etc. but dogs as well as other animals are considered pets. pets have a very special place in peoples lives. they are like members of your family and to think that someone could be so cruel as to torture and kill them for sport and money is the true test of their evil nature. michael vic is a dangerous person because he has no empathy for other living things. this team has just awarded him for his behavior. i really don’t know what else to say. i’m totally depressed.
You're right. They awarded him for his behavior.
Reid and Banner and Lurie got together, laughed, and said “we hate dogs! How can we show how much we hate them! I know! Lets give a contract to that guy who tortured all those dogs!”
How could I have been so blind?
that is the whole problem. people only care what happens to their kitties and puppies. the other unseen animals they eat mean nothing. that what the government wants. all animals deserve the right not to be tortured
yes and all over the world people are tortured
hopefully not eaten anymore

So...
Just because hes VERY athletic, doesnt mean hes going to be a good RB or WR (ie FredEx). I highly doubt hes going to be able to run up the middle or block, so hes useless to us as a RB because it will be obvious to other teams what our play is.
That leaves WR. IMO, the only other guy you can compare him to is Hester, and Hester wasnt so good last year, so I dont think hes going to help us that much.
We put Desean in the Wildcat
And ran him every single time and it still worked. You know that Minnesota is going to hand off to Peterson as many times as they possible can and even if the defense knows it, it is entirely another thing to stop it.

Football players as role models.
What kind of role models is the NFL portaying by doing this and some of the other criminals that are allowed to play. What a crock of S#@$.
Hey you know the cool thing about role models is they don’t get to choose the people that look up to them. So if you raise a kid who looks up to a murderer or a wife beater or an animal abuser and they don’t know that those things are bad, he’s a fucking idiot and it’s not Mike Vick’s fault if someone thinks it’s ok to do.

True, but.....
If he is not there to begin with he would not have anyone look up to him. So no one would be at fault. Unfortantly there are those dumb asses out there that think he is great and love this.

It’s all about personal accountability. You’re saying the man shouldn’t be allowed to do what 1) He wants to do and 2) what someone wants to pay him millions of dollars to do. Where do you come into this? I don’t see you in the equation at all.
If you have a serious problem with this, notify the Eagles. Then stop watching them. Otherwise you’re bitching about something you’re not willing to do anything about and that makes you rather sad.

Woah
I’m watching the Steelers Cardinals game and I just saw a commercial with Jason Taylor fighting against animal cruelty. Weird
Vegans.
I am one, and for those who use the argument that it’s for food and everything, you still don’t realize that even those that are used for food (eggs, milk, etc) are tortured. I had a guest lecturer at my college that went into everything about it. I honestly don’t care what others eat, etc. I have my own beliefs and respect everyone elses but don’t disregard the truths/facts.
Vick? I don’t care. Honestly, there are worse people out there. Be the bigger person and just forgive and forget. It’s about the now and future. Condemning someone of a 2nd chance justs makes people look bad.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
They aren’t tortured, they’re bred and killed for the purpose of eating. What’s the difference between how animals are mass produced and slaughtered and harvesting agriculture? Is it that the animals move? That’s silly.
I am the people's troll :3™
Nah bro. Don’t get me wrong. I honestly have no issue with the mass production. And agriculture is different. Depending on how plants are bred and such, they aren’t killed. (not a fan of chemicals and all, bad for health as well, nah mean?)
My issue is with the ones that give milk and eggs and stuff. I’ve been to a farm and the condition they are kept in, is terrible.

I like the move for football reasons and that it strengthens our backup QB situation.
In no way does this put us over the top though. Let’s be reasonable – he’s been removed from football for a long time. If he can bring an improved element to the wildcat, goal line or run packages I’m happy. Temper your expectations.

i personally value human life more than an animals life. What visk did was disgusting but he did hi time. Stallworth was drunk and hit and killed a man. If Vick served two years, then how does stallworth serve less than a month for taking another humans life? Its not often you hear of a person committing manslaughter and serving less than a month. Something in the judiciary system is messed up.
Way to make a broad statement
If I have a gun in my hand and I have to choose to shoot either John Wayne Gacy or my sweet Lab that has never hurt a creature, I put one in Gacy’s head and don’t look twice. Not all humans are as decent as good animals.

Sidenote: Andys defense of the Vick signing made Rick Pitino look like a bitch. lol
I am against this signing for all the normal reasons, but at the same time, it seems like Dungy feels like Vick is remorseful etc. and I think I can trust Dungy on that kind of thing. I would be worried Vick would just play for the cameras, because that is pretty easy, but being in the same room and such, I dont think he could fool Dungy.
I am still against the signing because I wish some other team would take on the distrcations that this will cause.
I'm wondering if they have a deal in place for Kolb?
AJ played well, Vick is the backup, why would they keep 4 QBs now? Kolb to SF for Vernon Davis? Kolb for Benjamin Watson? Kolb for Schfeter? Kolb for Rick Astley? Kolb for Corn on the cobb? Corn on the Cobb and Kevin Kolb (no relation) for a 5 out of a six back of Becks?

Millions of decent football fans around the world are disappointed that the Eagles decided to sign a guy who hung dogs from trees. He electrocuted them with jumper cables and held them under water.This was not a one-time mistake. Vick lied to authorities, and he and his cohorts tortured and killed animals for years and stopped only because their activities were discovered and prosecuted.
A lot of us Eagles fans are disappointed, too, FeeltheSteel. What are we supposed to do about it?

This doesn’t end today. They are only getting started.
But as I told the Cowboys fan who put on facebook “couldn’t happen to a better group of fans,” … Luckily, Philly fans have never used Cowboys fans to assess our self-worth.
I think we can handle this.
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
I don’t like the move. I don’t think Vick, after a 2-year layoff and possible suspension, is going to be worth whatever he adds on teh field to justify the amount of controversy and distraction this brings.
I can understand the “he’s done his time/deserves a 2nd chance argument”, I just wish it were elsewhere because I don’t look forward to having to root for him.
But, there are a fair amount of Eagles fans who for whatever reason are saying “I can’t root for them after this”, including CavortingEagle, who’s one of the best posters on this board.
I hope that after the shock of this wears off, people will remember that Vick is just one of 53 guys on this team. That doesn’t mean that this isn’t a big deal or what he did wasn’t horrible or that everybody has to agree on this.
But the Eagles are bigger than Michael Vick. You’ve rooted for them for a long time. Brian Westbrook, Donovan McNabb, Desean Jackson, Sheldon Brown, David Akers, Trent Cole, Kevin Curtis, and the vast majority of the dudes on this team are still good people who are very much worth rooting for.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
I definitely back that
you can’t disown years of Eagles rooting over one move that may or may not turn out to be ill-advised.
Methinks, however, there are very few in a forgiving mood at this point in time. When do we get to bust out “let he who has not sinned cast the first stone?”

michael vick
i watched the news conference today with reid, vick and dungy. of course reid can see that vick should be given a second chance. both his kids are going to need second chances after they screwed up their lives with drugs and firearms convictions. i really don’t think reid is the one to help vick straighten out .he didn’t do such a good job of guiding his own sons. and dungy is taking the attitude that he should be forgiven. and he might be right about that. however, don’t just try to brush off the fact that vick is a vicious killer and did this not once or twice but for YEARS. he never showed any remorse until he was caught! that should tell you how much he regrets what he did. the only regret that he has is that he got caught. period. it’s a disgrace that philadelphia gave him a place on the team and it’s an insult to the rest of the team that they have to face all the grief that will come their way because of vick.
