McManus: What I'm hearing from Michael Vick's side is that he's ready to move on from the Eagles.

Vick is done here, i was way wrong thinking otherwise earlier because i thought he would want to come back to Philadelphia. Even if we get Chip it seems Vick wants out anyway

Vick is done here because the Eagles don't want him anymore, not because he doesn't want to be here.

I wish they would just offcially cut him already.

Nah I think without Andy here he wants to move on.  After listening to his comments in his post game PC and then later on to Gunn.  These comments were made before anyone in the public knew Reid was officially out but the team knew and just based on what he said im pretty sure he wants to leave.

That said I dont think Lurie and Roseman want him back so its a mute point anyhow.

Never wanted him here in the first place.
I respect the turnaround he's made in his life, but he is simply not a good quarterback.

Pretty much sums it up for me as well.

Really. And you people wonder why the I laugh at the Philly media ??
Look at some of the moronic stories that are being put on here.

***Eagles have a list of 10-15 coaches - Really ???? Wow, thanks for that brilliant insight.
***Vick wants out, Again, wow !!!! I would have never guessed.
***Reid will likely be fired, Oh my god,, are you serious.
***The Eagles will likely clean house of most of the coaches, Geez, thanks. I would have never guessed.
***Lurie grateful,for what Reid has done. Oh my god. Who would have guessed that. No crap. Reid was the greatest coach the team ever had by a mile and was loaded with class.

Considering the day that Andy Reid was fired and the news became public.  On Vicks facebook page he posted a new cover photo of him and REID side-by-side I'd say. Yeah he wants out.

people need to wake up and realize whats going on here. suddenly the eagles and phila is not where players and maybe even the best coaching candidates want to be.

the eagles might be on thier way back to the dark days. there are alot of rumors i know they are just rumors about people not wanting to come here. some say its because of howie some say because of foles not really being that good now vick wants out?

I did. I mean, no one knew what he was going to be like and I have to say, this is one of the few things I am actually proud of Reid for. He gave somebody a second chance. He gave Vick a chance to start over again. To rebuild himself and move forward in life as a respectful, law abiding member of society. For that, I'll always be proud of Reid for.

I and I know most out there were rooting for Vick in 2010. I was too but much like everything else, I waited. I waited to see what he was going to be like once the book was out on him before I got my hopes all up. Unfortunately, as much i hoped he'd be a much better QB, he did fall way below expectations.

So I too respect him turning his life around but as a QB, he just isnt there anymore. Time to move on from Vick too.

Shut up.  Vick is not a good QB.  He is a turnover machine, injury prone, has only played a full 16 games once, makes bad decisions, cannot read defenses properly and this season threw everyone else under the bus and claimed he was preparing and working hard but everyone else was at fault despite his turnovers and bad decisions.

Did you hear Foles' teammates praising him at the end of the season?  Talking about his leadership, accuracy, reading defenses, etc.?  Those were things that Vick didn't do well.

This is one of the top coaching spots in the NFL.

And it doesn't matter what Vick wants, the Eagles are dumping him anyway.  He can go take is "cusp of greatness" and "potential for dynasty" somewhere else.

Not in this upcoming draft you don't.......unless you REALLY have no clue.

To the guy one post up defending Vick - give it up already.  He was NEVER a good qb. Especially in Philly.

And to the guy even further up - it's a MOOT point, not mute point.

New Flash, Vick said awhile back, " that he never really wanted to come to Philadelphia (eagles) to begin  with"

So the fact that he wants out now, really comes as no surprise  at all...this was not his destination of choice or desire. It just happened to be the only avenue opened to him to reestablish himself in the NFL.

I think he is going to find that the market for him will be non existent.
