Mike Vick is Back According to Andy Reid

Recommended Posts

Thought it was interesting considering the polarization his name caused over the last few seasons on this board, or at least his alias of Michael Bolton.

I am pulling for him to finish out his career strong and be a better passer as well, sort of like a redemption story - as long as it doesn't interfere with our team's success.

Anyway, here it is:

“I think he looks great. You saw him today,” coach Andy Reid said. “He’s working with the second group. Any time he gets into trouble, he’s out of there. You see his quickness and speed back. He’s throwing the ball confidently.”

Now proceed with your "why do we care?" posts.:cool:

If he is back in True Vick form I'm just glad we don't have him on the schedule twice a year like when he played for ATL...

I'm a Vick fan and had a 5 second glimmer of hope when there was the rumors about him coming to Carolina last year and this off season, but I know that he won't gel with our set up here. Hes a great athlete(if he really is in his pre-prison shape) but he'll never be a hall of fame QB.

I ran this through Babelfish. Here's the translation:

Come on. Somebody PLEASE trade us something for him. Please? He's really great. I swear he is. Surely a 3rd round pick isn't too much to ask for a guy this good, is it?

Well he couldn't learn the WCO in all the time in Atlanta, if he can learn it in Philadelphia that would be something.

I although thought it was funny Reid was praising him for getting out of there at the first sign of pressure. One of the big knocks on him in Atlanta was that instead of staying in the pocket and finding a receiver downfield, he would bolt at the first sign of pressure and run the ball. All you had to do to stop him is collapse the pocket and put a spy on him to shut him down. That is why we had better success with him once we figured that out.

    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
    • Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
