Being an Eagle fan I am pretty much up in the air.

I like it because a football standpoint but am a bit skeptical about it.

I do believe everyone deserves a 2nd chance however.

Also a buddy of mine pointed this out:

"Leonard Little Killed a mother of two while drunk driving, still plays in the NFL.

Stallworth killed a father of three while drunk driving, will play again in the NFL.

Both served less time in jail than Michael Vick."

I'm a little disappointed he's going to be a back up for 2 yrs, but this might be the low key come back the NFL probably wanted. Now it shows many teams were nervous about picking him up I'm thinking there wasn't much of a market and thats why he signed with the eagles.

Like i've stated in other posts, as far as him being an athlete, he's a great athlete. When you look at him as a QB though, he's not a great QB, or even a good one.

I disagree at one point he was the highest paid player in the NFL.

He wasnt a great QB but he was definitely way above average.

He set the bar really high for your hybrid type QB.

Just think what the egals can do with him they can do the wild cat formation use him as a RB and do a RB throw the options are countless!!


Like I said what I think he did was wrong but he did his time and I AM THIRLLED HES BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO VICK!!!!:gj:

What does being the highest paid NFL player have to do with anything?

Tom Brady has 3 SB rings and was making less than half of Vick's $130 million.

Matt Ryan[$72 million], who had never played in an NFL game, signed a larger contract than Brady[$60 million]...with his 3 SB rings.

I think the money just shows how large that individuals ego is and what it takes to satisfy it. :rolleyes:

I have posted all the numbers in the other Vick thread...he was an average QB at best. Look at his numbers. Yes he ran for over a thousand yards one year...but do that and achieve 90.0+ QB rating like the big boys then I will call him a good QB. He was nothing more than a glorified tailback.

Most overrated player. Atlanta, what did your $130 million quarterback get you?

No thanks...I will pass and take the good QB for $60 million.

You mean $160 million will buy you a divisional playoff win.

Because they lost the NFC championship game and the $160 million dollar QB had a whopping 162 total yards!!!!!! 162 yards TOTAL!!!! Obviously his scrambling got him nowhere because he was sacked 4 times. He did not throw for any TD's. He did not rush for any TD's. His 'sub par' talent scored all the points.

So...$160 million will buy you a divisional win, and an NFC Championship flop.

O.V.E.R.R.A.T.E.D.

:)

They did lose and I willl admit that he was WAY over paid but boy it sure was fun to watch him play!
