Exactly!

Just what decision has Andy Reid made since getting Ryans from Houston(if it wasn't Howie's move) that has a point? The fact that Andy Reid made the decision should already make it suspect.

What kind of injury would make the Eagles pay Vick 3 mil?

I'm sure the forum bigots will be protesting all week over Vick starting.  You all know as well as I do that he's gonna go out there with a vengeance and crush the Giants.  It's like the 1989 commercial for Halloween 5 said HE'S BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.

Some people just want him gone because the team will never win a superbowl with him and we want to see what Edwards can offer as a backup.  You must be one of those people that sees race and bigotry behind every motive.  Basically the definition of a racist.

Presumably if he ends the season injured. I'm not certain of the dates & details.  I'm guessing that the Eagles couldn't cut Vick during few days windows during which they can do so without owing anything.  They'd have to come up with some sort of injury settlement.

vick was ok weeks ago, that was andy and the front office bull****!!! They thought foles was gonna come in and win the rest of the games, made the O-line better for him and everything, well things didnt work out, he lost 5 of 6 and got hurt, now Vick is back, I hope he has a real good game sunday because we now know that foles shows a little Effort but is not who they thought he was!! That last drive on the skins, they would of scored with vick that close to tge endzone!!!

With Vick in they might have had 3 interceptions and been blown out.  Regardless, the guy is not the future of the franchise so who cares what he can do in these meaningless games?

[iinvincible]

Andy starting Vick realizing again he screwed up.   Thx to the jets.

So now Foles and Edward are better QBs than Vick?    Haters are so predictable.

You just said Foles wouldn't even be back in Philly next year. Whether you like him or not, that's a stupid thing to say!

But keep on calling other people haters

It's funny how Vick's terrible concussion is suddenly better.

He's been known to be fine for a couple weeks now.

Nothing "funny" about it.  They paid the guy...might as well get one more game out of him.  Not like they need to see what Edwards can do.  He's a vet with plenty of game tape to watch, and will almost certainly be the Eagles backup/3rd string QB next year.  Definitely won't be a starter again.

Vicks recent trips to the endzone ended with a return fumble for a TD and an injury.  Do you watch games?

[PolkaDotPants]

I like Vick but we've seen what he can do and I don't believe he needs an "audition" for the other 31 NFL teams to prove himself. I would like to see how Edwards plays and I would like to see how he operates the offense in a "real game" situation.

Andy's final revenge....Vick beats the Giants, and screws up the draft...

Why risk getting Edwards hurt? Let the scrubs play.

They obviously want to beat the Giants,say what you want about the guy but Vick owns the **** a** Giants.

He does.  Sorta like Jake Plummer owned the Eagles when he was playing.  Maybe Andy wants to go out with a win.

[AceofSpades]

Amazing, people want a higher pick in an extremely weak draft. There are no can't miss, must have prospects in this draft.

I think even if the eagles win were looking at dropping back maybe 2 spots?...

Vick should lock up the #4 for us when the giants beat his a**...

not sure but i think if we lose and the raiders win we move up to #3... could be wrong though

I agree it is a crappy draft but its still nice that the eagles will be picking that high... Im hoping we get that tackle from texas a&m... joeckel????

With the Chip Kelly news making the rounds, I wouldn't be surprised if Vick stayed if they make Kelly a quick signing. Foles doesn't fit Kelly's mold of the type of athletic/dual threat quarterback Kelly needs to run his offense.

Any coach that need(s) Mike Vick doesnt need a coaching job

i don't know that at all. i know he was babbling about playoffs,dynasty,and this is week im gonna be vick all year. truth. he hasn't lit it up all season and the supporting cast around him now is 3 times as bad as when he last started and put up that whopping 13 points against the saints.

I've been saying this since Vick got hurt. In hindsight it was good to give Foles so many starts to see what we had there, but I wouldn't have minded seeing more of Trent Edwards.

I think if we saw Edwards, we would have seen a flashback to '08 with Jeff Garcia and we might actually have a better record right now. Considering how weak our division is, we might have even still been in the hunt.

The difference between Edwards and Garcia is that Edwards hasn't been good since his Stanford days. Garcia at least had success in the NFL before coming here. Reid and co. knew that they were on a short leash and needed to win. If Edwards was better than Foles I think we would have seen him

[E2k4]

It does seem kind of pointless...he better pray he doesn't get another concussion or WORSE!

[purephillyfan]

I would like to see Edwards play a full game...

[LegendBird21]

Hoping he has a good game versus Giants and to slightly increase his trade value?  No idea.
