I was thinking the samething, i could see Raiders trying to trade Flynn to the eagles for him.
yeah I'm not sure what Rotoworld's agenda is but they have serious love for Vick and refuse to admit that at best it's 50/50 he is even on the team come Sept 1stBigboy10182000 said:
that would be the smart thing since they already paid him, but strangers have happened in the NFL
That they paid him surprised me but they will owe him almost double that if they keep him
“We’re going to have to name a starter at some point in time. That’s why I think it would be unfair right now because there hasn’t been enough situations to evaluate. If someone said ‘Hey, we have to play a game tomorrow, we have to make a decision.’ But we don’t have to play a game tomorrow. We have until September 9, so we’ll see how it works itself out. But as I’ve said before with a big decision like that, you want to make sure you take the whole body of work into consideration. If in practice three they have a [bad] practice, do they come back in practice four and bounce back pretty good? Or have you made your decision after practice three? We’re not forced to make a decision soon, and I don’t think the positives of making an early decision outweigh making sure we make the right decision.” -Chip Kelly
Vick is playing better than Foles and should win the starting job. He still will most likely not be the starter next year on a rebuilding team unless he takes them to the playoffs.
Meant to quote not like/unlike but I feel that is a lot of unnecessary risk. I would pair Vick with someone more like Joe Flacco. RG3 has some obstacles once the season starts, no preseason action, could be tough. Eli would pair fine with Vick as well IMO.
after seeing him play in the first preseason game I changed my draft strategy from grabbing a QB in round 6 (luck, romo, or rg3) to waiting until round 10 to get Vick and cutler in 11. They have a great combined schedule so even if Vick doesn't play as well as I think he will, there should be nice value there.But he looks really good in that chip Kelly offense.
You have to take Vick serious in FF now. Totally agree.
A lot of the local media speculation is that Kelly is getting both ready to play. The probability is that the Eagles will need both during the course of the season. Everyone will be shocked if Vick isn't the opening day starter though. Through it all though Kelly has maintained he's in no rush to name a starter. If he's true to his word, it will be after the 4th preseason game.
Thanks, I like the combo because RGIII has an early BYE week and I figure the rust will be off by then. But it is a high risk / high reward combo.
i am intrigued by what trestman can do with him but sure you could. I also think Alex smith is a great value late.
Michael Vick has been going about QB 12 in the average draft. Part of that reflected the uncertainty about him and Foles. What do you see him rising to now that he has been named the starter.
