Eagles Lose But Vick Is Still A Beast

Mike Vick was easily the Eagles best quarterback during their NFC Wild Card loss to the Cowboys in Big D. Even though he lost a fumble later in the game, Vick came in and did work, throwing this long touchdown pass to rookie Jeremy Maclin. Vick gave the squad early hope, even though it wouldn’t last. The Eagles are going to have a tough decision to make this offseason, do they keep Vick around next season and take the damn near 6 million dollar hit, or let him go elsewhere to dominate? There is a good chance that both Vick and Donovan McNabb won’t be with the team next season.
Michael Vick’s Finally Getting His Mojo Back

If you don’t roll with Mike Vick, then you’re crazier than a shithouse rat. For Philly, the city that has become the home for embattled superstars from Bad News Virginia, the Vick experiment can be deemed successful, while Iverson’s return to the Sixers is still open to debate. The Eagles have eased Vick into their offensive scheme and have used his capabilities to throw off defenses at random points throughout the game.
Donovan McNabb at least appears to be rolling with the use of Vick, even in goal line situations where a thirst for a TD might cloud one’s vision. Allowing Vick to throw the ball more, will keep opposing defenses confused and when McNabb and Vick are on the field together, the options are unlimited.
With 3 TD in the last 2 games, Vick is going to force the Eagles to make a tough decision next season. Even though Vick has expressed his desire to be a starting quarterback, the Eagles have him by the nuts and his $5 mill salary next season really isn’t that bad considering his potential trade value.
Regardless of what happens next season, the Eagles have a golden opportunity to do something special this year. Currently a game atop the NFC East, the Week 17 showdown at Cowboys Stadium could be the stuff of legend. If the games ends up being for the NFC East title, you can best believe that the Eagles will have something up their sleeve with Vick in mind.
