In a standard league (that doesn't penalize turnovers), Vick has been a top-10 QB this year, despite all the circumstances surrounding him and the Eagles.

However, I find myself losing confidence in him as my starting QB, especially with his matchup this week.

Who else has lost confidence in Vick, and who are you starting over him?

It's possible that you drafted/picked up Palmer, Roethlisberger, Dalton, Freeman, Fitzpatrick, or Wilson as your back-up behind Vick. Do you roll with these guys over Vick this week (and for the season), or do you go with the guy you drafted as your #1 QB?

I officially lost confidence in him. Not so much because he can't put up fantasy points anymore. In the league I own him he's actually ranked 10th amongst QBs right now. I'm giving up on him for the following reasons:

1) The Eagles O-line is a disaster right now. I believe they're down 4 starters at this point. He has no time to do anything back there, so he'll struggle to put up any kind of consistent passing numbers.

2) Because of #1, he's getting hammered on a regular basis. I can't afford to risk a goose egg for the week because Vick gets knocked out halfway through the 1st quarter.

3) Andy Reid's job is officially on the line now. If he doesn't make the playoffs this year he's likely gone. Not that Foles is a better option, but Vick could get benched at any time in the middle of a game, especially if he has another 2 or 3 early turnovers.

4) The entire situation with him is volatile right now. Possibility of injury and/or benching, horrid offensive line, no sign of anything improving when you can't even score on the Saints.

To answer the other part of the question... I was fortunate to draft Luck late in a redraft format. Already been going back and forth between the 2. He'll now be my starting QB every week moving forward.

Agree 100% with Luck. If you drafted him (or RGIII) late to pair with Vick, then you definitely are going to go with them (obviously not RGIII this week). With Vick's injury concern in the pre-season, though, I would think that many owners went with "safer" backups for him. Luck and RGIII are doing good, FF-speaking, but that's not normal for rookie QBs.The O-line is definitely a big part of my question. It's horrible, and there's only so much Vick will be able to do against a team with a good pass rush (or even a bad one, as evidenced by the NO game).

Thanks for the reply.

I started luck over Vick this week.

Starting tannenhill with no confidence:(

Unless they completely changed the gameplan he's going to get drilled today. No clue why Marty Morningwheg insists on 5-7 step drops and just making him a sitting duck in the pocket behind a line that can't block anyone. Get the ball out quick, hand it off, roll him out, anything but deep drops and standing around until he gets crushed.

Add he matchups or his is just a my guy poll.

Assuming you missed a couple "T's?" I added the matchups for this week, but do you seriously think I have 7 QBs rostered?I own Vick, and with the way Philly's season has been going, I'm losing confidence in him. (I stated that in the OP). I'm wondering if other Vick owners are feeling the same way. I listed those QBs because they aren't "top" guys, so you wouldn't automatically bench Vick for them, but I'm getting to the point where I'm considering it for guys of that caliber. I specifically didn't mention my backup, because I don't want this to be a AC topic.

I have more confidence in his flak jacket than I do him

I am also starting to lose confidence in vick. The line is just so bad...when the saints get 7 sacks you know your line is horrid. At this point I'm going to play him only against great match ups. Luckily I was able to trade leshoure for newton.

Eagles O line never did well vs a 3-4....now factor in how BAD this Oline is now...yea Vick is going to get trounced. Dude needs a ironman award after this season
