There ya go then.... there really is no way to rate Vick besides watching him play or comparing what he adds in rushing yards to what he loses in passing yards. His stats are meaningless.

Didn't see that one coming. Why Eagles? They already had 5 QBs and a starter who's a better passer and can run when he wants to.
Looks like $1.6 million was the magic number for the Eagles. Not much for QB in the NFL. I wonder how their fans will react. Scratch that. If he's productive, the fans will love him. I wonder how the local PETA fanatics will react.
Totally Awesome.
It's cool .. it's cool.
The man did his time, paid his dues, it's time for "2nd chance".
America is big on them, if he blows it, he's done, and if the EAgles win the SuperBowl, he's a hero.
Only in America.

I was surprised. McNabb made some comments when they drafted Kolb two years ago. For a franchise QB, he seems a bit insecure, but I have to assume he ok'd this signing.
For the Eagles, it does make sense. They get Vick for backup money this year, and if McNabb should go down, that could be a real bagain. Next year, Vick's value goes up unless he absolutely stinks, so they can trade him. He will have had time to shake the rust off, and the PR stain will be alleviated. I can't see them keeping him as a backup at $5+mill, if something happens with McNabb, they can keep him or even redo his deal.
There is a reason the same teams are on top year after year, teams like the Eagles. They make smart deals. Compare them to the Redskins, who panicked last year after a starting DE was injured in camp and traded a bunch of picks to the Dolphins for a used up Jason Taylor. He was awful and a poor fit for the Skins scheme. How effective can a 220 pound DE be in the NFC East anyway? They could have used those picks to shore up their terrible O line.

I believe from what i have heard Mcnabb actually championed this deal.
Imagnie the wild cat formations with westbrook Mcnabb, and Vick. I can see it now.
Snap to Westbrook who pitches the ball to Mcnabb who throws it opposite field to Vick, (lined up as a wideout) which then leads to a bomb to Desean Jackson, TOUCHDOWN!!!!!! LOL, remember you heard it here first.
Or how bout westbrook takes the snap, vick and mcnabb run a reverse, long bomb to Desean jackson. The possibilities are endless as Mcnabb is a somewhat mobile QB.
I think if they try to throw atleast a gimmick or two a game with vick in the puzzle they will keep defenses guessing so they could throw Vick in just to run a pattern at times.

Since Kolb had an injury (knee), I assume that may have influenced it. Vick was cheap (a couple of million). Makes a nice backup if McNabb goes down once again.
