Ladies and gentlemen - I give you, within this thread, my defense of Mike Vick(well, not really defense per se, but shit, good times). Boy, do I remember this thread... viewtopic.php?f=14&t=106975&hilit=vick+eagles&start=30#p2448747

And so Dude From Upstate New York Who Jumped On The Cowboys Bandwagon knows, my point with Kolb was you paid him to be the starter. No one thought he'd be like this. No one. And of course this now changes everything.

nice!
that thread was classic. best part was all the people predicting mass riots and protests...something like 6 people showed up at the first pre season game. that's it. peta blows.

First of all, bandwagon fan is a tough one to call me if I continue to root for them this year, and rooted for them through the 1-15, 3-13, and 5-11 (3x straight) seasons. If I were a true bandwagon, wouldn't I have already started rooting for the Patriots, Colts, Saints, or something? Second, I agree that it was pretty nice to root for the Cowboys between 1991-1996, but, outside of that period, when, during my lifetime (1979-present) have they been consistently good?

Jeags, yes of course this is fucking sour grapes. My team is 2-7, John Kitna starts, our head coach got fired mid-season, and if I go on this would turn into a country song. I have rooted for Vick since he made my brother cry during the national championship game, and desperately wanted Jere to sign him. Sadly, 95% of the country loves dogs so damn much and/or hates Michael Vick so the man who grants second chances has stopped at doing it twice in the last 10 years - right as we could have gotten Randy Moss and Michael Vick. Excuse me while I slam my head on the table repeatedly.

Finally, why can we have normal discussions for most of the season until it is clear that you guys are above average and the Cowboys suck? Not once all year have I been called bandwagon or anything, but now that I was right about your damn qb situation you all throw me under the bus. Haha.

How do you guys know what the trophy looks like?

I think I saw it in a book one time.

I can't keep up with this thread.

you just know this streak has to continue with eli on the docket sunday...

The Eagles now have intercepted a pass in 12 straight games, their longest streak since going 16 straight with a pick in 1988-89. Their 16 interceptions this season lead the NFL.

vick contract stuff....

Eagles face big dilemma with Vick
Posted by Mike Florio on November 17, 2010, 1:23 PM EST
Monday night’s memorable performance from Eagles quarterback Mike Vick has sparked plenty of discussion and debate regarding Vick’s short-term and long-term football future.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN believes that Vick will be an Eagle in 2011, either with a long-term contract or the one-year franchise tag. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Vick camp already is bracing for the possibility of the franchise tag.

In the end, don’t be shocked if that’s precisely what the Eagles do.

As one league source observed, “Vick’s contract value despite the hype will be tempered by the fact that all he has to do is breathe in the wrong direction and he will be suspended for life.” Though Vick currently is firmly within the redemption phase of his career, the concern is a legitimate one. Still on federal probation after a six-year lifestyle of gambling and dogfighting was discovered accidentally by authorities in 2007, Vick escaped potentially big trouble earlier this year after former dogfighting partner and convicted felon Quanis Phillips attended Vick’s 30th birthday party — and was shot by an unknown assailant after the party ended.

That incident occurred during Vick’s first offseason as a former superstar whose best days were behind him. In 2011, Vick will be a superstar all over again. Will he be able to properly navigate the challenges that will come with it, including a younger brother who seems at times to be determined to drag Mike back into a lifestyle of arrogance and reckless excess?

For the Eagles, it’s a gamble that could be too big to take, especially since the current labor deal protects players from having to pay back any bonus money unless they have intentionally held out or retired. Going to jail, for now, doesn’t permit a term to recover a single penny paid.

In contrast, relying on the franchise tag (which possibly won’t exist under the next labor deal but most think still will) will give the Eagles what they need most.

Time.

Time to see whether the new labor deal will allow teams to get money back from players who get suspended or incarcerated. Time to see whether opposing defenses will figure out how to stop the new Vick. Time to see whether the new Vick will become the old Vick once the praise and attention returns.

If, in the end, the Eagles apply the franchise tag and Vick runs afoul of the terms of his probation or of his reinstatement to the NFL, the Eagles will be out not a dime, since a franchise player gets his money in the form of games checks. If he’s not around to play, he won’t get paid.

Under this approach, the Eagles also would keep Kevin Kolb into 2011, since Kolb will be the insurance against the new Vick becoming the old Vick.

So even though Mike Vick has become better than he ever was and even though he is now firmly in the MVP debate, don’t assume that he’ll get the kind of long-term deal paid to the likes of Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Sure, a long-term deal is possible, if Vick’s demands are reasonable. But Vick and the Eagles likely will having different views of what “reasonable” is, with Vick focused on his performance and the Eagles obsessed with the potential problems that will arise — especially if Vick were to enter the 2011 offseason with his bankruptcy debts paid off and plenty of other money in his pocket.

Wouldn't this be a fitting way for the Eagles to win a Super Bowl? You finally get rid of the never-quite-accepted fully Donovan McNabb, for a sucky Scott Mitchell-to-be Kevin Kolb that you all wanted to love, only to have him usurped by the only person Eagle fans can't get behind in Michael Vick. If it's going to go down and you all finally get that Super Bowl it would be so perfect if Vick is hoisting the MVP trophy, on the cover of Madden again, and signed to a 6 year 80 million dollar deal. I think you'd all say you would be mad now, but this is the real "would you sell your soul to the devil for a super bowl" dillemna being played out.

Yup, any Eagles fan would take it in a second.

The problem I had with Vick to begin with was that I just didn't think he was that good of a QB. He does seem to be proving me wrong right now.
